Two recent memories of British cars as movie props both ended in extreme
displeasure for me (and I was only the viewer)!!!

First was the cocaine addict in the Royal Tenenbaums (currently playing, and
not worth viewing) who royally crashes his Austin Healey into a brickwall.
Second was when a bomb-laden bus rammed and utterly destroyed a TVR 2500M in
the movie Speed (currently on FX, and semi-entertaining).

That said, is there a compilation of these cars identities which have been
destroyed by film production companies for movies?
