[Healeys] Hollywood and Accuracy

[Jack Feldman]

I don't remember the title, but an independent movie was shown at MG2008. It
was a Coming of Age movie which involved the main character coming of age
through the restoration of an MG. They used three very dissimilar cars which
was easily picked up by the MG viewers. The unrestored car was a chrome
bumper MG, pre 1974 1/2. The car when they were working on it, was a rubber
bumper, post 1974 1/2. The fully restored car was a different year chrome
bumper. What drew laughs was the ease of removing the windscreen during
restoration, and the quck sloppy way they painted the car in the shade
outside with no preparation.

The director/producer said he forgot to take the glass out of the windscreen
and had to pay an exorbatant fee to a computer shop to remove it
electronically.

Great fun.
