Car Forum / MINI / March 2004Italian Job - facts wanted about the two movies
I'm looking for behind-the-scenes facts about the cars in both old and new versions of The Italian Job. e.g. how many cars were used of each model, what attrition rates (how many were pranged), what mods they had, who drove them, etc. Anyone know a good site where I'll find this sort of info? (Sorry, I'm not an expert, and I know it's probably an FAQ job.) Mucho appreciado any help!
