Umm... well it's not a Spit but there's a great shot of a GT6 whizzing by in
the new Austin Powers movie. (I got funny looks in the movie theatre when
Will Farrel started chasing Austin when I said -loudly- "Wow! It's a Rover
P6 3500 Federal!")

Robert Redford drove an early Spit in very forgettable movie "The Lovers" or
some such tripe...

I watched "The Borrowers" with John Goodman last weekend and I was
fascinated that EVERY car in the movie was a variant of the Morris Minor...

Sorry - I guess that was a long way to go for one real Spitfire movie
sighting...

There's a lot of Spitfires on the History channel every night ... but
they're of the "Ultramarine" variety....
