Triumphs
Three color 8" x 10 1/2" ad for the "7 great new Triumphs for '67" and what makes them great. The headline calls our attention to "Triumph leadership" and claims that it is "The result of Technical Excellence". The text gives general statements about the overall quality of these motorcycles then talks about the 650cc models available this year, the Bonneville (T120R), Bonneville T.T. Special (T120TT), Sports Trophy (TR6/R) and the Trophy Special (TR6/C). The text that talks about these is more specific about accomplishments and has a picture of the Bonneville (T120/R).

Triumphs
Black and white 5" x 5 1/4" ad for one of the many things that made Triumph a sucessful-selling bike, "The Sound of Triumph". We see a picture of a smiling man in the process of either getting on or off of a Triumph Twin and the text begins by saying that "Many automotive buffs can tell the power an engine delivers simply by the way it sounds". It mentions the "deep, rich throb of a Triumph" and urges you to "Listen to the world's best and finest motorcycle". It ends by claiming that you can only hear this sound "At your Triumph dealers, of course".

Triumphs
Full color 7 3/4" x 10 1/2" ad has a picture of a new Triumph parked on a well-lit, polished surface with the wall behind it covered with enlarged photos of different features of this model. A handsome young man is smiling as he stands behind the bike holding onto the handlebars and an attractive lady stands behind him with her face smiling upwards, either in awe of the young man and the motorcycle or in gratitude at being in the ad. The headline urges everyone to "Live the Triumph Life" and the text starts by saying that it "takes pride in its performance and good looks". It continues by quickly mentioning a variety of things that riders are interested in and giving very positive descriptions for them all. It mentions that prices start at $685 and, hidden in the small print at the bottom of the ad, is a list of the models available for 1968.

Triumph Bonneville 750
Full color Two Page 16" x 10 1/2" ad for some of the hidden features of classic motorcycles. The headline says that "At times like these, the feature you can't see becomes perfectly obvious" and has four pictures of driving conditions that bring fear to most motorcyclists. The pictures show a water-filled hole, a dark winding country road, a pothole deeper than it looks and oncoming traffic at night with headlights glaring in a blinding fashion. The text describes how the handling of the Triumphs is designed to allow you to survive or avoid disasters such as the ones pictured and that the expert rider "values these characteristics above all else". There is a picture of a red Bonneville 750 parked and waiting for the next qualified driver.

Triumph Line
Full color 16" x 10 3/4" Four-Page ad that tries to renew interest in the products of this troubled company. The headline offers that "The new Triumphs are beautiful, yes. But their most beautiful feature is invisible" and is followed by a sideview schematic showing the geometry of this year's model. The text talks about how "feeling" how a bike rides is more important than any subjective claims and urges you to come try for yourself. There is another picture of a Triumph, lights aglow, coming at the camera with the sun setting in the background. On the other two pages are shown the six models offered in 1974; the Trident 750, the Daytona 500, the Trophy Trail 500, the Avenger 500, the Tiger 750 and the Bonneville 750.

Triumphs
Full color 8" x 11" ad that show a row of brand new Trident 3-cylinder 750 cc Superbikes with 5-speed gearboxes. The ad headline reassures the public that "Triumphs are rolling again!" after "re-tooling to counteract the Meriden factory blockade". It raises concern that "At first, demand may be hard to fill" on these first bikes built by the workers after taking possession of the factory after the company closed it down.
