Apparently 7 Anglias were used in making the film - one would presume that at
least 6 were destroyed in the process :-(
I'm not a major Anglia fan, but I hate seeing ANY classic destroyed in the name
of entertainment.

I saw part of an interview with J.K.Rowling where she talked about an old
friend having an Anglia (I think) when she was a student. It was included in
the book with affection,
