 No Tigers, but great scenes using Minis and a spirited drive through the
Alps
 with wrecked cars that will bring an enthusiast to tears.

I seem to remember the trashing of a couple of E-types, roadster and coupe,

as well as an Aston DB4 drophead in that scene. Of course, at the time you
could pick up any of the above for about $1500-3000!!
Now if I could just get AT&T/TCI to carry Speedvision, it only took them 3
years to pick up ESPN2.

I remember reading a tounge-in-cheek article once that expounded upon the
fact that if the movie production company had just saved these cars for 20
years and sold them, they would have made more money than the show ever
took in.
