Little British Cars (and one Italian) in 1967

"Popular-priced cars, and all value for money.
Top:  The Mini De Luxe.  All Minis are now made with Hydrolastic suspension.
Centre left:  Small though the Mini is, it is very sturdy, and can carry a roof rack, or even a boat, as seen here.
Centre right:  The Triumph Herald, a design which has been most successful, and produced for some years now.  Its popular characteristic is its very small turning circle.  This Herald has had a sunshine roof fitted, which can now be fitted to most cars.
Bottom left:  The Riley Elf, another version of the Mini, but it retains its familiar Riley radiator shell.
Bottom right:  The Italian 500 c.c. Fiat which is very popular not only in Italy but elsewhere in Europe."
