Triumph TR6 - TR6 in the movies?


So does anyone know of any movies that had TR6s in them? I can't think of ONE! :(

Alan Alda movie about making a movie about the Revolution. Name escapes me.

One of the early Tom Cruise movies had one - Not sure if it was Risky Business or another about the same time....

For you TR6 guys (I own a TR4)there is a movie that was made in the 70's with Elliot Gould as a bank teller/manager and reversed a bank robbery on a Santa Claus played by Christopher Plummer. The movie (don't remember the name) showed great driving scenes of Elliot Gould driving a 6.I believe it was yellow.

The movie was actually Canadian made and shot here in Toronto.

Now can any of you tell me a movie that showed a TR4, I can't think of any.

Not exactly Oscar material, but there was a powder blue TR4 (TR-4A?) in "Munster Go Home." And there was the red TR4 that lost a wire wheel in "One of our Spies is Missing (a Man from U.N.C.L.E. movie)

I think "Three men and a baby" had a TR6...or so my wife says.
Mati Holland

That's it Roger, Silent Witness...thanks for jogging my memory.

Mati, I'll have to keep an eye open for the U.N.C.L.E. movie as that was one of my favorite series.

There is a past thread on this subject that names a whole bunch of movies. I think 1-2 years ago and title of thread was very close to yours Aaron.
