re: "This auction is for an original BL supplied color photo of a 1970's MGB Roadster and MG Midget at a car show display. The MGB in the photo is the original car launched from an airplane during the filming of the famous MG 1970's commercial. This photo measures 10x 8 inches and are must for the MG Collector!"

Actually, it is NOT the original car launched from the plane....That one did not fair so well and landed upside down...compressed it several inches.

Maybe it was taken before the commercial was shot.

Why would British Leyland showcase a car BEFORE a shoot?

Perhaps it is car #2, which did survive the drop although a hole was punched in the oil pan and they had to edit the video to remove the trail of oil across the desert behind the car.

Wonder what ever happened to car #2? We all know what hapened to car #1.
