The program referred to is from a Rootes 16mm promo film titled "The Tiger
Sharpens Its Claws," which also includes some footage of the Le Mans Tigers in
the 1964 24-hour race.  A video of this film, plus about 5 other Rootes films
was available at one time from Rick McLeod at Sunbeam Specialties.  I don't
know if Rick is still selling copies, but it wouldn't hurt to ask.
