Electric ?

They had to modify 3 cars to use batteries, because they were precluded
from using any other method of propulsion in the LA underground system.

Got all your answers? Looks like it was the right newsgroup afterall.

The Italian Job with Minis took place in Turin. I think there was a
rather crappy Hollywood remake made after that with BMWs in LA, but
nothing Italian about it.

The heist (or job, if you will) took place in Venice, which was still
in Italy last time I was there. A pretty flimsy pretence for ripping
off a classic film title, but there you go <shrug>
