BTMs Trivia Quiz. 7
« on: August 03, 2006, 12:06:35 »
Okay here's a very simple one after my own quiz was hi-jacked & used against me :roll:  :wink:

It's in 2 parts

Q1. In which film were the two main vehicles an American/English hybrid & a Latin sports-car? (that later influenced the styling of a British saloon)

Q2. Which actor (from the above film) later played the patriarch of a strange family??

As usual there are no prizes whatsoever :wink:

I know it isn't going to be the answer, but the Rover P5B keeps ringing in my head for the hybrid car.  American V8 and British car.  :wink:

You're correct Jez

It was indeed the wonderful 'Gumball Rally' & a (young-ish) Raul Juali

It also featured a young Gary Busey in a Camaro

The real star sequence was the shots in the Los Angeles storm drains, as seen in the Terminator film with the truck & motorbike (& the 50's giant Ant films)
Imagine a Daytona & Cobra pirouetting at 100MPH in standing water, magic =D>

The English car it inflenced was the Rover SD1 (compare the fronts)
Some publicity shots showed the SD1 in conjunction with a Daytona

Apparantly it's a pseudonym used by one of the charactors in the forthcoming 'Miami Vice' film & there was a Daytona in the TV series
(I don't know if one's going to be used in the film??)

There were actually two cars, neither of them Daytonas, but Corvette replicas. Not identical either, one had pop up headlights and the other had them faired in.

Both cars were bought from Miami Dade police recovered goods auction by the TV company after they were seased from the manufacturer by the U.S. trading standards for using the Ferrari and Daytona trade marks!

A mind full of useless information.  :wink:

I think the B stands for 'Berlinetta', not sure of the significance but it's a name you see quite often on Ferrari coupes.

I had an Opel Manta Berlinetta SR for a while. Maybe they were Italian Designers?

That might be it.  I know LM stands for le Mans, bit obvious really but youy see it on some Ferrari names too, mainly the older GTOs, proper cars they were :)
