I've got this on DVD and loads of other bonkers long forgotten Italian flics from the '60s and '70s, a lot of Innocenti Minis appear in them as well as other British cars of the period. Lots of Lambos, Ferraris, Masers, Lancias and Alfas too of course... wonderful viewing if you can stand the high levels of cheese. The soundtracks are often excellent though. They don't make films like this anymore and more's the pity, these days everything is either chock full of CGI or trying too hard to be 'worthy' or 'right on'.

you can tell an FF as they have double grilles on the side rather than the one single

great picture, he looks to be husseling it!


a mate of mine has a Bedford CF 4x4

parts are impossible to find for it as the 4x4 crap is the same as the stuff used in the FF, so they have all been broken up for spares

this is Herbert von Karajan's Cooper S.
He lived in Salzburg/Austria and was dedicated to various sportscars ( Ford GT40, Porsche 959, etc )
all his life.

Not sure on this one but interesting looking car...
