Two different Mk2 Jags were used in this scene...

In the scenes where Caine is seen driving the MkII Cortina he's being pushed into shot by some of the film crew, he didn't passed his driving test until about 1973.
The blue Mark II Cortina here was owned by a mate of mine, Jon Hill - it was snapped there about 10-15 years ago. At the time I had a Carmen red 3.4 Jag and would have taken it up but Classic Ford mag wanted just the Cortina.
The red Jaguar used here was a 1960 model on fake G plates - the damage to the wing where a load of filler had dropped out of the arch happened after the door was taken off by the silver Cortina in the film. The houses are still there but it looks very different there now - the cobbled alleyway is still round the back though.

Thanks - I was trying to remember where I got the Cortina photo from. Considering it was shot between July and September it's a very bleak film, both in looks and feel.
Found this the other day - 'things to do with your old banger Mk1...'

British shelled Cooper Mk3, the first few were UK shells as they hadn't completed the press tooling in time for the launch, probably the best factory 998 Cooper ever made!
