Think this could be the plane in question,
It was once a restaurant in Trafford park.

26th September 1968, on location in Coventry filming "The Italian Job"

Interesting pics thanks.
It always annoyed me that the sewer scene had extra lights on the Minis.

These film archive pictures reminded me of this one:

Love to see the risk assessment and method statement for that one

On a similar vein......a young George Lucas hanging off the A-post of the '32 Coupe by a bit of old rope, directing a scene in American Graffiti

Years ago there used to be one I saw regularly round my way, same colour but I think it had the matt black bonnet treatment. The owner also had a yellow Mach 1 for a while, both kept on his drive as his garage was too small!

Boss number one, January '69... no doubt a great time to be of driving age with money in your pocket...



Just found these period gems...

Love the Baldwin Motion dealer photos.......the big-block conversions on new cars they did were similar to what Yenko did, but the Yenko stuff is probably better known today.

Thanks GTR, link duly noted

Not a high quality image this but a historical one - Ford top brass geezer Lee Iacocca fuels up a production ready Mustang during a pre-launch jaunt in 1964, something he did quite often to test the public's reaction, in the background to his right a woman is taking a photo of the new baby Ford...

Clint Eastwood goes up in my estimation once again. I think he has an old Mercedes 560SEC as a daily, and he's owned a BB Boxer. What a hero.

I love sixties/early seventies Yank metal, from the lowly '71 Ford Galaxie 500 (they're so Dirty Harry) to the 1960 Coupe DeVille with cars like the 69/70 Barracuda and Challenger in between, 69-72 Mustangs (more than the early ones) and even a nicely modded early 2 door Ford Pinto. 1949 Cadillac Sedanette, 1962 Lincoln Continental (sedan), 1968 Eldorado, early Buick Regal, a 1963/4 Thunderbird and the later coffin nose version - where would you stop?

If I had a collection of 50 cars, at least 20 would be American.
