The Peat Road Motors adverts were as ubiquitous on prime time STV as Glens/Hutchison/Robertsons/Stepek!! There are some good scans of old adverts on Flickr here:

Just look at the interest rate on the Metro deal - it is definitely the late 1980s we are in here! So many sad suckers got duped into the 0% deals or zero deposit offers on Ladas then got shafted with 25%APR+ if they didn't repay within the grace period. Small wonder there was a credit crunch in the early 1990s - albeit small compared to the one we are suffering at the moment.
