No, I don't remember them looking like that either. It's funny that 
image. A lot aged rapidly after their war-time experiences, but still.
Mind you I don't think that it was restricted to the UK. I recall a lot 
of marketing stiff from both sides of The Pond was similar, although a 
lot of US-originated marketing was better presented and finished.

My guess it 3000 "Mk1" era. It looks very like some of the late "100/6 3 
litre" brochures in style and artwork.
