| Description: | He dances and then magic's himself away in a puff of smoke. The bodywork puts itself on the chassis. High in the sky we see the bonnet flapping its sides like a bird. Our cartoon friend sits on the bonnet and is brought down to the ground with a bump. Interior of the car - Peter Pan operates the controls. Suddenly a fire breathing dragon appears and scares the pixie boy. He flies out of the car window and throws a nut through the car window. It comes flying back at him and knocks him flying. Little birds fly around his head. He climbs up to the window and puts his window on the smashed part. It repairs itself. He then walks on the bonnet. He takes out a stethoscope and listens to the bonnet. We see the engine at work. Pixie boy places a rosette on the front of the radiator which reads: " Champion". The rosette turns into the V8 logo. Pixie boy does some somersaults and then magic's the sign to read: "Completed 5000." He climbs back into place on the front badge, taking bows and then changing to the V8 logo. | |
