Here we have a sweet old advertisement for the Geely Beauty Leopard, Meirenbao in Chinese. The ad is from 2003 when the Meirenbao debuted as China’s first self-developed sports car. The pic shows a very fashionable lady with a camcorder, making a movie of herself with her brandnew Meirenbao.

The car and girl are Photoshopped in front of a skyline which has to stress how modern that Leopard was. When it just came out the Meirenbao cost only 100.000 yuan, power came from a tiny 1.3, hardly enough for racing but sure good enough for this pretty lady.

More on the Meirenbao and its successors, see here, here, and here,
