<DIV>Unlikely, anyone can submit their personally owned car for adverts or
filmwork, and many ads use instantly recognisable cars where it is relevant to
the subject. 'Modification' is usually done when the car in question is
shown being damaged or as unreliable in some way, the owners of the marque (who
do still exist) could sue for defamation. On UK TV at least such cars
are unrecognisable except to an enthusiast, either with CGI or stick-on
panels. There is current an ad for a breakdown company taking the mickey
out of the market leader who as a 'transformer' character crushes what
looks rather like an MGA underfoot on its way to arriving too late at a
breakdown. Haven't been able to find an online version of that.</DIV>
