Most Beautiful Alpine Model

I've always loved this ad. About 15 years ago, I tried to use the internet to find out who the model is. I did not succeed. Can anyone do better now? I even found people from Peck and Peck. But I could not reach them.

I note she is also in the picture of the car at the bottom. Does she show up in any other ads?Alpine Peck Ad.jpg

A better shot from the making of that ad, below.

I couldn't find a good bio of her, but there is this from IMDB:

"Christa Vogel was born on June 16, 1943. She was a producer and actress, known for Liebling Kreuzberg (1986), Tatort (1970) and The Promise (1994). She died on March 21, 2005 (age 61).

She has also been filmed with a Hillman Imp / Sunbeam Stiletto:

I just searched her name after sunbeamowner found her. Having said that, I’ve often used Tineye.com and Google Images to successfully discover the origins of a particular image.

There was a nice 60s Tiger photoshoot of a lady releasing a dove at the beach.. will try and find it... But this colour shot recently appeared... Seen many shots from the motorshow before... But not this angle or colour.

Feeding a seagull - but who's looking at the bird anyway!
Well, after I got my fill of inspecting the young lady (in great detail), I turned my attention to the car and saw some interesting items. I believe the car might be one of those very rare RSA built Tigers.

Notice the extra reflector on the back of the right fender.
