    This is a video of Group 44 racing with some BMLC advertising from the 1970s. This had been posted in the MG forum and I thought it worthy of posting as an article. Love the Spitfire advert!

      Interesting notation that in the advertising, all the mgb's had females swooping all around them, like was this a chick magnet approach. that backfired, and landed up catering to the female audience...during the mid 60's to 70's. I always felt as the MGB was more civilized for the Woman driver ( and noted many woman driving the mgb, whereas, the TR4, was more, well masculine.. I'm sure I just opened pandoras box her between mgb and tr4 affectionados (never mind the sexes)...through the years, it has all evened out

      LOL, "Triumph, it's faster than a mad cow...."
