Always those Triumph riders...
03/29/2024
It was bound to happen sooner or later. Now the reckless overtaking driver from last week has actually hit a cyclist with his Triumph 2000. Of course, the brochure doesn't show this fatal consequence of high-speed six-cylinder enjoyment. Nor can it. Because the two scenes have absolutely nothing to do with each other.
Explanation: In the 1970s, the German chemical company Knoll AG brought out a twelve-part record series entitled "Medical English for German doctors" to teach German doctors English technical vocabulary. The picture above adorned the cover of the episode "Road Accident" - and was of course a fake.
The fact that the graphic designers also chose a blue Triumph 2000 Mk I for the main automobile role was probably pure coincidence. When the record language course was released in 1972, the revised Mk II had already been on the market for more than two years.
