While I can understand the reasons for using a "replica" in a film like this, rather than a genuine veteran car, I'm a bit stunned to find that they sacrificed a 55-year-old Topolino to make this thing, which doesn't even look very authentic. Wouldn't an old Nissan Micra have done?
Or if it had to be a fairly small rear-wheel drivetrain, there must be possibilities from the 70s which are virtually worthless these days - Vauxhall Viva/Chevette, Opel Kadett, Triumph Toledo, Hillman Avenger. Even a late Morris Minor.
If they had used a pre-84 Toyota Starlet, I would probably have stood and cheered, but this seems such a waste.
