By the time the film was made the car was seven years old! I can't believe they would have kitted out an A40 specially for the film, if they wanted a taxi there were plenty of FX3/FX4 cabs around. I've just ordered the film so I'll see if there are more clues.
Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2009-01-18 14:34	This was filmed in West Germany, so there weren't plenty of FX3s or FX4s running around. If you look at the other cars in the film, you'll notice that only one other car is right hand drive. /vehicle_119071-Hanomag-2-10-PS-1925.html -- Last edit: 2014-09-10 18:11:23 (dsl)
