PeteH Posted December 18, 2020 Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 Hi So, Er` indoors was watching a recorded "rom com" and what pops up but a very nice looking Blue Vittesse. OCG 926 F. The joke was?. It ran out of "petrol" so "your man" fishes the 10 gall Jerry can out of the boot. Obviously unaware that they all had a "reserve" position on the tank valve!. Ah! Well!. "artistic licence"?. Currently taxed, Reg Sept 1967. Last change owner 2012. It says blue and looks a nice dark blue but what would it be?

thescrapman Posted December 18, 2020 Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 What was the programme? How old was it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteH Posted December 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 Hi I had to go and ask, Not sure of the age, but it was only recorded last week. It`s aparently called "Then Came You". allegedly filmed in Scotland?. It`s a "rom com", so not really my "bag". I was more interested in the colour, as the 13/60 will be undergoing a change from White. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martyn wright Posted December 19, 2020 Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 Hi! There has also been a yellow/mustard J Reg 13/60 Convertible on Antiques Roadshow last week or so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted December 19, 2020 Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 one of my locals had his Vitesse away for the ARS it was trailered all over the place and much got wrecked , the 6 week hire lasted 7 months with switches .door handles hood , seats and handbrake wrecked one side of the handbrake cable had been wrecked by a trailer tie down strap and they bolted the cable end to the floor so HB on just one wheel never let you car out to any supposed hire /film company unless you drive it yourself Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Google shows either 2018 or 2020 as the date of that film, so a recent one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteH Posted December 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 Started something now!. I was more interested to find out the Dark Blue Colour Name/Code than anything else!. As for "Film Use" I had several requests to hire my R-V, Mostly for use as "Dressing/Makeup" facility. Tempted, by the hire rate, until one guy who did it had his interior wrecked.

Colin Lindsay Posted December 19, 2020 Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 When the BBC filmed my Mk3 GT6 back in 2000, they ruined it and it took me forever to polish all the marks off again. Found the trailer for that movie, the Vitesse features from the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteH Posted December 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 Still, cannot figure what that Blue is though? I would call it midnight?. It looks good with a Black interior. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely, I note that there is also a Valencia blue, which looks a shade lighter?. If I can get the shade I want I can get it locally, which helps if you run short. They matched my "Girly Green" Fiat Punto paint to a "T" after It was reversed into in Morrisons car park. A "sorry, I was running late to collect the kids from school" incident!.

Colin Lindsay Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 Definitely not Valencia Blue. The GT6 is Valencia and although the Herald looks black it's actually Royal Blue from 1969, although I've seen it photographed as a lighter blue depending on the camera angle and lighting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteH Posted December 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 Nice looking alloys on the 6?. Recently there has been a very pretty 3 series Beemer Convertible, Parked near our Doctors. The blue (metallic) is probably lighter than the Herald (above) but not so light as the 6. That was nearer to my thinking. But of course NOT a Triumph colour.

Chris A Posted December 23, 2020 Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 This afternoon I went in to see Mrs Me in her "work space" at home and she was watching a Blake Edwards film with Julie Andrews & Omar Sharif in the corner of the screen as I walked in was a Triumph convertible, pale blue with white stripe, as it was the back end couldn't tell if it was Herald or Vitesse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahebron Posted December 26, 2020 Report Share Posted December 26, 2020 This is the site to see what cars are in what films https://www.imcdb.org/ But like anything it is only as good as the info that is put into it. I have had a few of my parents cars in different NZ films but they aren't listed. There 2 litre Vitesse CV was in a short film last century.
