How about the Kirk Douglas film 'Such Men are Dangerous'(??) where he
drives an ex Stirling Moss HWM. This car eventually became the 'Stovebolt
Special' when fitted with a 283 Chev V8 after the Alta engine went to
lunch. And the Clark Gable film 'Anything for a Lady' which featured early
speedway racers. Or 'Checkpoint' with Rod Taylor as the villain and James
Roberston Justice as a David Brown character determined to win the Mille
Miglia. THe list goes on...
