Which means I could take off the front bumper, turn it upside-down and use
it for a front bumper on my Lotus.  The back bumper is the front bumper from
a Ford Cortina.

The front hubs, spindles, brakes and steering rack are Spitfire parts.

BTW, the Harry Potter car, from what I have seen in the clips, looks the
same color as the Anglia Harry Palmer (Michael Caine) drove in "The Ipcress
File".  That one didn't get wrecked, but it did get a bullet-hole in the
windscreen.
