So far at least there are very few VWs seen in the film - a couple of very distant Beetles, but nothing else really, even with the K70 Alert Function activated.....

The Datsun 180B (610 generation) was only assembled in New Zealand in sedan form - wagons and coupes were all imports. -- Last edit: 2014-07-02 07:53:30
