Dealer Radio Commercial Scripts

This radio advert script was provided to dealers as part of the info pack to aid selling of the Mk1 Fiesta, presumably to prepare them in case customers had queries about any of the information they had heard in the two ads.

Title: Safety (30 second Advert)

Announcer: Hello, I'm down at Banks Motors, Anytown, finding out about some of the advanced safety features on the new Ford Fiesta.

It has a diagonally linked dual circuit brake system and negative scrub steering geometry.

2nd Voice: Yes, what this means, Jim, is that even if one brake circuit should fail you still have breaking at both ends of the car.

And negative scrub steering helps you stop in a straight line. Its a very advanced system.

Announcer: Why not come down and see Ford's advanced new baby for yourself, at Banks Motors Anytown.

Man: I have. A very safe handling little car, great fun.

Announcer: What did you like about it most?

Man: Well it had a very brisk acceleration, and the roadholding was as good as anything I've ever driven. Really in the sports car class.

Announcer: It's got dual circuit brakes I believe.
