Probably early 30's as that was about the same time that states started collecting sales tax and produced one mil tokens for paying the tax. Those same tokens could be used for paying the odd mils on the gasoline.
Sure but it would have been £14/19/11 (14 pounds 19 shillings 11 pence. the commercials 14 pounds 99 pence is nonsensical because 99 pence would have been expressed as 8 shillings 3 pence. 14 pounds 99 pence would not have been used until 1968. Fashions were different back in 68 but nothing like thos shown in the ad.)

Very nice commercial, but did they really have them priced way back then like that?
