Are you being served? Too good.

Is that Captain Peacock?

I wish I worked in a Triumph dealership circa late-1960.

Or maybe not, as I'm sure that would the 5th circle of Hell for some PCH owners.

Triumph Stag: The choice of cuckolds world-round

Watch out! The tisk tisk finger is next!

Nobody in England talks like that. Like the Stag though,very collectable now.

According to Wikipedia, 0-60 took 14 seconds. "Quick" is a rather loosely-defined word in Britain, apparently.

@DannyBN: That was probably th US spec ones,a couple of sites i have seen vary from 10 to 12 secs,not too bad for 1970

He should have grabbed the Spitfire. It would have made for a funny video with the Spitfire and the Stag turning concentric circles while in "pursuit".

Damn, now I need to find a Spitfire and a Stag to set that up.

Drat you, screwer of my wife! If my Stag's crankshaft holds together long enough I'll make sure yours doesn't!

Curses! Foiled again!

Apparently in the England of the 1960 martial infidelity was cause for hilarity...

@deckard97: Hundreds of Benny Hill end credit sequences corroborate that theory.

Marital infidelity is a staple for car ads. This one is of recent vintage, and it's from Hyundai!

+ Watch video

@deckard97: Yeah,we never had anything as high brow as Jerry Springer to sort these things out.

"I'd have let you test drive an estate, but it seems Mr. Humphries has taken it for one of his 'long lunches' again."

My old man had a '71 Stag in Damson Plum, with the wire wheels... gorgeous car, totally unique, everyone thought it was a Jag. Pity the damned thing never once ran right... he staunchly refused to replace the original Triumph V8 with the Rover V6, like so many other swaps.

@UDMan: Yikes!

@UDMan: That was unexpectedly hilarious.

@Roadster_Guy: Rover had a V6?

@UDMan: Damn, Hyundai went all Brokeback on us. Not that one wouldn't make assumptions about a guy that drives a Hyundai, but still.

Sweet ad! Frank Thornton rocks.

Of course Britain is still exactly like this

@China_Crisis:

That's totally Capt. Peacock.

"Menswear!"

@UDMan: Cougar wife and brokeback husband, love it!

@Placebo: I'm Freeeee, Captain Peacock!

@BSAKat: Nope different actor.

@FreeMan: "My pussy and I are unanimous in this!"

I'm surprised that EITHER the Stag or the 1500TC held together long enough to film this commercial.

@timrussell:
You sure about that?

@UDMan: I love the surprise ending in that ad... God, the howls of outrage that would ensue if that ever played on TV in the States...

Y'all know what Stag was short for don't you? "Stagnant"

This ad is just so dumb on so many levels. The only good bits are the cars and don't you know that every one of them has gone to hell and taken some overly optimistic metric wrenchers with them.

@Novaload: I believe the Malaise Triumphs still had some Whitworth hardware on them...
