Millbrook? I think I have the accompanying brochure too!

That Millbrook one is brilliant, great library funk and voiceover.nice to compare the two vids to see the company 'image' and the reality of the motor industry in the '70s, notice in the Speke one only one of the workers actually drives a triumph!

Whereabouts in Speke was the Triumph plant? I'm assuming it's since been demolished?

Cool, the Speke one is excellent.As a TR7 owner I enjoyed the quotes:Workers at the plant didn't have a high opinion of the car, "This car is a disgrace," one told the BBC."It never sold, despite all that management have done is say it would be the greatest export they ever had for Leyland."It's a load of bloody rubbish that car, one load of bloody rubbish."

I think it was where Hunts Cross shops are ( or were), I used to deliver around there in the late 80's early 90's.If you get to where you turn for the airport and turn right instead of left its up there. If I recall they had a TR7 in a cage in the car park. cant see it being still intact now though
