First of all. Don't click this unless you have excellent bandwidth. The thing is no less than 15meg.

I found it on some site talking about Scopitones which was some kind of wierd juke box with movie reels back in the 60's.

it is fuzzy as heck but it sure looks to me like the star of this film is a quartet of left hand drive TR5's.

Catchy tune too.

And where is this track they are driving on? Is this Monza? Pretty amazing banked wall.

-edit-

More info I found of the group:

But it was above all as a composer that William, now known as William Sheller, made his name. His precious classical training quickly made him sought after, particularly for orchestral scores, brasses and strings which were very fashionable at this time. In 1968, he met a group of Americans whose parents worked in France, and they formed a group, the Irresistibles, and then looked for songs. William offered them his song "My Year is a Day". This first recording of one of his compositions was a hit.

So these kids are in France which would explain the left hand drive. Badge sure looks like the pictures I've seen of TR-5's. Gotta go dig out some books. They all have front-to rear stripes too.

Jim: Way cool! Thanks a lot!
From the headlights I would agree that they are French. I wonder if the stripe was factory or done by the distribution agent for France?
Regarding the video, Austin Powers eat your heart out.
I could do without the music and have an over dub of the lovely TR exhaust note instead, snarling throught the gears.

sorry, that was the scariest thing I've seen in awhile. They should have had pastel triumphs to match their pastel geeksuits. I made it halfway thru before quickly closing...I couldn't take it no mo
