Kurt,
So much for the team.net website section on Triumphs in movies. You're right
about it being the movie Spinout and I even found a site that shows a
picture of the Ferrari/TR4 sinking in the water. Of course the guy reviewing
the movie calls it a Triumph Sprite! Go to http://sd455.com/moviespinout.htm
and scroll to the bottom of the page and you'll see some pics of them racing
and then the TR4 sinking.

Subject: [TR] RE: Viva Las Vegas
Well, first off, it was "Spinout" not "Viva Las Vegas". In "Spinout"
Shelley Fabares drove a Ferrari 250 California Spyder that magically morphed
into a red TR4 as it went into the water. In the movie Elvis tows his 427
Comp Cobra behind a Duesenberg SJ Dual Cowl Phaeton, how cool is that! In
"Viva Las Vegas", the lovely Ann Margaret can be seen driving a TR3A.
Cheers,
Kurt Oblinger (who watches waaaayyyyy too much TV)

In the movie Viva Las Vegas, who was the actor "driving" the Ferrari that
magically becomes a TR4 when immersed in water?
