It's a "R-type Continental" what can be seen from the seats and the general line (which is different to those of the S1 Continental Fastback)

One of the finest cars ever made.

In the film Sellers is playing with his son (filming him with his camcorder and pretending he is a racing driver) when he discovers a scratch in the paintwork. He storms off to phone the dealer, so his son tries to fix it by painting a white stripe over it ("It looks just like a racing car now!"). In response Sellers furiously stomps all over his toys ("See Michael, I've fixed all your toys for you!").

Given that this was the world's most expensive production car at the time and only 200 were made, Sellers' extreme reaction is almost understandable! Although I saw a documentary where the son says that in real life he whipped him with his belt (not sure if it was exactly the same model of car though).

Sellers never owned a R-type Continental from new, nor do I know of any R-type Continental he owned as a used car.
