Beursbabes, for almost half a century a household word in the automotive sector.

We go back to the London Motor Show of 1971. In a with Jaguars, Morrisen, Triumphs and Rovers-filled hall is zoomed in on a scantily-dressed girl of about twenty. Bikini bottom, a doorkijkvestje and something around her neck where the advertising is, the more it has they are not. She is surrounded by photojournalists that camera roll after roll of film volschieten. A bit further we see two cheeky ladies in a more Arabic setting on the bonnet of a Reliant Scimitar, accompanied by a massive moustache, which, with a cimeter, waving. Something you then simply take off.

No, in the basement of the Essen motor show after his most beursvloeren free now, this kind of offensive behaviour. Because bah & sexist. Beursbabes are no longer babes, but hostesses that you everything about a certain model can tell. And large for be rewarded. The contrast with a British motor show 43 years ago, check you Autojunk.nl.
