I have cropped the top from this photo as it gives the answer, but where is this famous venue?  I expect one of two Members to give the answer almost immediately!   ;D

It is indeed, and I thought you would be the first with the answer.  Yes, the famous Ace Cafe on the North Circular Road in London, a Mecca for car and bike enthusiasts since the 50's.

Well done Merddin!   &well&

It looks like a Tiger Tank to me, probably built around 1943 and used in North Africa. Currently in Bovington Tank Museum?

Very rare. 24 hours without a quiz subject.
  How about this quick is without a photo. In either the mid 1960s or maybe the mid 1970s all other the country large adverts appeared. " NOW FOR BRITAIN ITSELF"
   Nothing else. No clue whatsoever. But it was obvious that someone's publicity department had untold millions, the site rentals were costing millions.
   So, what was being promoted?
