Do they duplicate the handling with a coupla hundredweight of
gold bricks in the boot?

Funny, that...every time I've seen the film since the first
viewing when I was about 16, I watch the damage carefully
and think "...well the Aston's a write off...so's the E-jag
coupe...hey, the convertible landed on its feet, maybe it
can be saved!" I never dreamed there were fans out there
who would know its fate.
What about the Land Rover 109 with the streamers and "Go England"
painted on the side? As I recall it was the only car in the film
that survived...
