This TdF is one of the later cars, with single louvre and covered headlights; it will probably be among this list. During the film it can be seen most of the time with Swiss (Geneva) registration 'GE 45476'. In one scene the car carries French (Paris) registration, but it is illegible. Some of the time it also has a fake Geneva front and rear plate, probably covering the French plates. One other thing that I noticed is that the car has some damage to the front around the grille, but the damage is different between the scenes which makes me wonder whether the car got damaged during filming. Furthermore, it can be seen with mounted fog lights several times and there is actually a short scene in which one of these lights is removed; during that scene it is also missing its rear window.
