I am looking for a 16mm copy of the 1966 half-hour advertising film made for Pirelli Tyres called "The Tortoise and the Hare" with music by the Spencer Davis Group.
It featured a smart young lady driving a white E-Type Jaguar and a large truck delivering tyres who constantly overtake one another as they travel on the Italian Autostrada del Sole.

I remember this being shown in a training school (GPO telecoms) and the track "Keep on Running" being the main track I recall. I've not seen any other mention of it since unfortunately.

Here's a link to part one of the film. Pity the colour is poor. It features "Keep On Running".
