Junkman ◊ 2006-01-13 21:11	Yes, and a rare Ghia, too.
Richard Davies ◊ 2007-09-07 21:59	Known in the UK as the Ford Cortina MkIV.
chris40 ◊ 2007-09-07 22:14	Richard Davies wrote Known in the UK as the Ford Cortina MkIV. The film was shot in Egypt, which is a left-hand drive market. I imagine it will be a Taunus; Cortina IV's would only be exported to RHD markets.
Kooshmeister ◊ 2008-03-08 21:50	Actually, this scene was shot in, and takes place in, Sardinia. They shot there first, for the car chase and stuff involving the beachside hotel, then went to Egypt. Unsure how this affects what it would be called, and, at any rate, if it means anything, IMDB says it's a Cortina. -- Last edit: 2008-03-08 21:55:19
G-MANN ◊ 2008-10-06 18:43	The car (with Jaws inside) chases after Bond's Lotus. So the Lotus sprays cement on its windscreen and it goes over a cliff. But Jaws survives. -- Last edit: 2012-10-15 16:35:52
G-MANN ◊ 2008-10-06 18:44	How do we know it's a Ghia?
Neptune ◊ 2008-10-06 18:46	I always did like Jaws (not the shark! ) He was and always will be one of my favorite 007 villains.
DynaMike ◊ 2008-10-06 20:28	Ghia? e.g. by the vinyl roof and the chromed mirror. Btw. the white front indicators and orange repeaters on the side make this a 'made for I'.
Kooshmeister ◊ 2008-11-04 11:20	Randomly, because I just like random, useless trivia, in the novelization (and presumably therefore the script), it's said to be a Fiat (I know it's a Taunus/Cortina in the movie, I'm just saying is all), and is described as having a souped-up engine something fierce allowing it to keep up with the Lotus. It also crashes and explodes on some rocks rather than ending up in some poor guy's house. Jaws isn't in it in the book, though; I doubt even he could survive a car blowing to bits as described in the book (despite the explosion shown in the film the Taunus/Cortina remains surprisingly intact structurally). -- Last edit: 2008-11-04 11:23:50

Robi ◊ 2016-06-22 15:35	The brand-new, high-spec Ford Taunus was provided by Ford. At least two cars were destroyed for the film, one going over the cliff, and the other one thrown into the house (which was designed by Ken Adam just for that scene). Plate SS = Province of Sassari -- Last edit: 2019-06-12 09:57:58
