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.
 
Hmm....not sure why my images didn't upload... Another crack at it ....

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.
