The Script (without the giveaway tagline.) from a 1980's advert.
"What can cool, can smooth, can perform, can give maximum protection at all times...
This can...."
What was the advert for :?: and what was the iconic background music to the advert. :?:

Duckhams, with its yellery-greeny goodness?

Actually, Magnatech comes to mind, probably completely wrong though.

You are on the right product Steve. Certainly the only "oil Advert" which registered as memorable with me, and a very well known Tag-line. You are on the right Brand with Magnatec.

Was that from one of the Castrol GTX "liquid engineering" collection? If so the music would appear to have been Mahler Symphony No7. Movement 2, sometimes known as Nachtmusic.!! :-D

and you are right too Steve, I see they were still using Mahler's Symphony No 7 in this Magnatec Advert from 1997.

I heard something by Mahler in a film and liked it. Haven't a clue what it might have been. Would have been in the early seventies.
Bought his fifth symphony but can't get away with it.

Most Likely Death in Venice (1971) Steve which featured his music Symphony No5 and Symphony No 3

Could be members of a Band

Here's some rejected theories

Four weddings and a funeral first names of the characters for each....no
Gerry and the pacemakers or Gerry Rafferty band members.....no

Here's one that fits :-D
Characters played by Dennis Waterman George Carter (Sweeney) Terry McCann (Minder) Gerry Standing (New Tricks) Tony Carpenter (On the up) Thomas Gynn (Stay Lucky)

It seems my devious inclusion of Thomas and Tony has thrown you off the correct answer!! Have a look at the sitcoms Stay Lucky and On the Up and reassess your research!! :-D
