Europa (New Zealand)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Europa was a New Zealand owned oil company that was owned and operated by The Todd Family in New Zealand. This was an attempt to fend-off the competition from the likes of Texaco (now Caltex in NZ), Plume (now Mobil), Shell and Atlantic.
First starting in Dunedin (where the todd Family was based), Europa opened a chain of service stations across the country.
During this time, the company produced what was an award winning tv advert that featured American rock legend, Stevie Ray Vaughn and New Zealand Blues legend, Midge Marsden as part of the "Travellin' On" tv adverts. The tv adverts were shot mainly around the Central North Island of New Zealand during 1988.
This would be the last major tv advert used until 1989 when it was sold to BP (NZ) Ltd.
