why has it got a US-plate? I think this scene is in London, isn´t it? |

Yes, this is London. The car probably just belonged to an American who was living over here for a while and had it shipped over, and it happened to be parked in a street where the Octopussy crew was filming. I wonder if the owner saw Octopussy. "My car appears in a James Bond film" would be a good dinner party story. .gif ":)") |

That's not a Deville, it's a Seville. -- Last edit: 2008-08-31 13:44:05 |

I remember seeing Octopussy as my first in-theatre Bond film experience, and saw it opening day here in the USA in June 1983, then again in late August, and a third time after Christmas because my cousin gave the movie tickets as a gift, and he was a James Bond fan. I didn't complain. That Seville stuck out from the first viewing seeing it parked on New Bond Street with its California plates and "USA" country of origin sticker! I have always wondered its history because of the California plates. It obviously had some connection to the production because of its second less explicit appearance among the caravans and cars at the "Feldstat" Air Base. It would be interesting if the car was randomly parked near Sotheby's during the course of filming, but why director John Glen would allow a California-registered American car to appear in a filmed-on-location London street in this film is extremely curious to me. One of those arcane bits of movie ephermera that will probably go unanswered for me. Maybe one of the Broccoli family's personal cars? His Rolls-Royce appeared in both Thunderball and A View to a Kill, as did Ken Adam's E-Type in the same Thunderball lot at Shrublands..... |
