Griff Rhys Jones Vauxhall adverts

Here's a collection of all the Vauxhall adverts I could find that feature Griff Rhys Jones as a bearded boffin. This campaign only lasted for a year (1999-2000), as after the embarrassment of the VX220 advert (3:29), Vauxhall dispensed with his services. The earlier ones are quite humorous, in Griff's own unmistakeable style

I love when he says they're in America testing the Corsa. With the skyline of Toronto minus the CN Tower as a backdrop.

And the car being unloaded by a bulk-carrier Lake freighter

[@TheFrankiemonkey]

[@JJMCB26]

That one advert I remember watching back in 2000 where you can buy a Vauxhall off the Internet.
"MUM! DAD JUST BOUGHT A CAR!" Hehe! 😆😆😆

The first one was hilarious at the time. I loved his expression at the end.

[@yliton4469]

Good adverts but not very good cars

[@johndavies3969]

Hmmm cant be too bad one of the oldest cars in numbers still on the road, see plenty of Astras Vectras and Zafs

[@rubyhick908]

Hey! I own an Astra and it is a very good car! >:O

Smith and Sniff brought me here

[@RapidRadioCodes1]

Can't see what was so wrong with some of these adverts, even the VX220 isn't abysmal as adverts go. Sounds to me like Vauxhall wanted someone to blame.

[@evilrobottolhurst]

Was there not also one in which Griff Rhys Jones was trying to work out all the different seat combinations on the Zafira?

[@foxee36]

Yes

My mum had one crashed it 3 times lmao !

[@MrRohanThomas]

[@tammclean9276]

9 year old me struggled to sit in the seats in the boot how the hell was he moving around freely 😂

[@jamesmiller113]

If you move the middle bench and front seat slightly forward, you can comfortably sit a 6-footer behind a 6-footer, behind a 6-footer!

[@sirmugman]

after browsering ebay and see the chevette from vuxhall and the engine space it reminded me of the car used in the 3rd advert as i wondered what it was, back then in 99' 00' i wsn't that bothered but now remembering these and that tin of sardeens in there i now know its a very rare vuxhall victor FB esate! but now i've seen it and i'm very happy but yeah i can see the space inside those older vuxhalls!

[@anthonyperkins7556]

That 3rd row of the Zafira isn't good for adults, it's only suitable for young children

[@jonhoughton372]

The Zafira was the best car ever built in my opinion.

[@rubyhick908]

Yeah they are quite wonderful.

[@cvslfc1234]

Yep my parents bought one 20 years ago which is still going strong

[@iw6544]

What is the song please? I can't find it.

[@YKW2]

Believe it or not, the string music over the logo matches the introduction to "Papa Don't Preach" by Madonna. I couldn't tell you whether it started life anywhere else

[@TheDantheman12121]

@@YKW2 Thank you very much i have been searching for that music for a long time.

[@MoChoudhury91]

YKW2 omg, I knew it sounded familiar!

[@tiadaid]

@@YKW2 Didn't they use the intro from Layla prior to this ad? I guess they continued from there.
