Triumph TR6 - TR6 Commercial

Hello All,
I've posted this TR6 ad in case you haven't seen it before...depending on your connection speed it might take a few mins.It's a good ad though I'm not sure how I'm going to rig up the flaming jump yet.
Cheers

Were these cars some how uniquely appealing to bald men? I guess they must have know bald guys have excess testosterone.

Not a TR, but Schumacher in a F1 Ferrari out-pacing a Eurofighter jet.

The video stream was captured from a Dutch news station. Schumacher managed to out-pace the Italian Eurofighter on a 600 meter stretch. They also attempted a 900 and a 1200 meter run; both times the Eurofighter was faster.

Hi Steven
Just right click on the link and "save as" and tell it where to download to...for example C:/temp or where ever you like

Unfortunately I am on a Mac and there is no right click so I am not sure what to do
Steven

has anyone noticed that on this car in the commercial there is no union jack on the rear quarter panel but instead what appears to be the upper half of the U.S. flag...I'm serious. It's hard to stop the action but can be spotted at the beginning when the car pulls away and at the end when the car backs up from the hay stack. Media player was easier to view and locate the exact frames than quicktime. Did tr6's come with U.S. flags on the quarter panel?

Hi Chris,
I had a close look and it appears to me to be white letters "TR6" . I believe the car is a '72 and the British flag was put on exported cars only starting in '73
( to celebrate 50 years of Triumph cars and 20 years of the TR series ).
The American Flag was never put on any TR6 only the British.
cheers

Most definitely the white TR6 letters/number.
The Union Jack badge went on NA bound TRs from commision CF1xxx1 1973 (produced from 8/72 to 8/73)and was an Americans' marketing idea. Yup, car earlier '72 and it is a NA TR6 (not staying in GB). You better hope our friends across the pond do not read your post What a dasterdly deed that would have been.
