It takes something like that to get through to some potential voters.
Cars have always been sold on style and aspirations, - gadgets are upselling devices once the buyer is on the threshold of signing.
I see them a lot on Facebook, Reddit, hear them on the radio etc.
It's more that they are nearly always left hand drive, and often with options that are not available in this market.It takes something like that to get through to some potential voters.

What ailment is suffered by the characters that causes the most strange leg movements when they walk?
Probably the shock of thier bill.
Crumbs, watching that is even more painful than having to deal with Telstra’s customer services team.
I think you're on about Trading212. Not really a crypto scam at all as their primary area of business is brokering stocks and ETFs. Also fully authorised and regulated by the FCA.
Not just on Sky Sports and @Floss63 has already mentioned the ad on here, back in March 2026, in post #1881. Supposedly you're covered by the FSCS if this outfit were to fail, but it still seems, on the face of it, to be a risky £££ proposition / bit of a gamble.
I'm sure that NT extracted enough cash from the ad agency for maybe 2 or 3 actual runs of the vehicle including an insurance policy should there be any unexpected damage to the fabric of the building. So, once the sequence is 'in the can', no matter how many times it is shown on TV, there will be no more issues with the entrance steps than had it not been used.
https://harewood.org/stories/making-the-impossible-possible-with-range-rover/ Has a brief description of how the advert was filmed.
Clearly they’ve done such a good job of making it look real to worry someone watching it.
So in effect, NT has benefitted financially from the exercise without any negative impact on the physical condition of the structure. @Xenophon PCDGS 's friend is not in possession of the full facts and their concern is misplaced.
I note that the car in question is stated to have all non-essential weight removed in this description and of the protective steps taken (hidden from view) and have passed the story information to my friend. So it is not the full truth of the matter and all it will take is one petrolhead to attempt to repeat the process to see what really does happen in similar circumstances.
I do recall driving behind a Land Rover years ago with a sticker with words to the effect "The parts flying off this vehicle are of the finest British quality"
Not sure that NT owns Harewood House
Harewood House is the family seat of the Lascelles family. David Lascelles is currently the 8th Earl from what my friend tells me.
Exactly so nothing to do with the National Trust
I misunderstood @Xenophon PCDGS 's reference to a friend who worked for NT and was concerned that the use of the steps might impart permanent damage to the property.
Given the family are related to his nibs the king, it's unlikely that Harewood House will come within the NT's clutches any time soon. In any event the estate must make loads from the fact that the permanent Emmerdale set is on their land.
So nobody needs to worry about the current owners of the place damaging a place of historical interest just to make a bit of money from commercial advertisers then.
Damaging a piece of historical interest in order to make money is not what would normally be recommended practice. We are grateful that a thread contributor made a posting of what actually took place during the filming of the TV advert, which was not at all made obvious in the actual advertisment. I cannot ever recall a coach and four attempting the same actions in any TV advert that I can recall.
Nor did I say or imply that it was, - just that you (and the rest of us) do not need to fret over any damage. The fact that it looked like no protection measures were taken doesn't mean that they weren't, (as a poster in this thread has informed us). Don't forget, filmakers and TV producers have been creating images from mundane reality for over a century such that the end user cannot easily see how it was done.
