Not to mention, that the Alpine is wrecked in similar fashion. In one scene,
the front bumper is hanging off, but in the next, it is back in place! And
in another scene, the Alpine is wrecked on the side, only to be slick and
clean in another! Obviously, the movie went way over budget aquiring these
3-4 classic Sunbeams, so they had to cut back in other areas of the film to
break even, and the editing process was one of them. Had they used a car of
lesser value, say for example, a mercedes sports coupe, or an E-type Jag,
there would have been better overall continuity. Lou
