Saw it today while I was filming at Silverstone. Its got a BMW engine in now, apparently. Its well knackered, rusty chassis, very poor performance. Poor thing :( Still, at least its doing a good job :)

I'm sure I read somewhere that this was used in some big film recently.

Looks like someone did a body-off resto and forgot to label the bits.

IIRC this used to be owned by dave Bickers the stunt co-ordinator and was used to film car, er, stunts, including a couple of James Bond movies.

If you watch the Bond film "The world is not enough" on DVD you can see this car being used (briefly) in the special features section. It still had the V8 in by the sounds of it.

Sad but true !!
