I would think, since only one copy of the car was manufactured and the movie was made in England, that the producers just crafted an outer shell to place over an existing British or European car (notice the movie car also doesn't have the "onboard beverage cabinets" in the back seat.Minnesotastanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01382888179579245181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-63314975176164185712016-02-26T11:27:53.690-06:002016-02-26T11:27:53.690-06:00In the video clip the driver is on right, passenge...In the video clip the driver is on right, passenger on left.Dorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02310235419518959441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-36706221115666868352016-02-26T07:59:16.920-06:002016-02-26T07:59:16.920-06:00Not completely on the right - just to the right of...Not completely on the right - just to the right of where it is on modern cars (more left-center).
