<<<<<<<<<<In the movie, "The Italian Job", the Mafia boys
crush (ouch!), two E-
type Jags and an Aston Martin and roll 'em off the cliff. Now, for you
movie/auto trivia
buffs...What car does Grace Kelly drive in Hitchcock's "To Catch a
Thief"...Hint, it aint
Italian...
Tony in NJ (W.A.S.T.E.) >>>>>>>

In reality, the car that looked like an Aston Martin going over the
cliff in "The Italian Job" was a Lancia Flamina in disguise. This fact
is from the Feb., 1999 Practical Classics.

Grace Kelly, and the housekeeper, drove, I believe, a Sunbeam (Talbot)
Alpine in the movie.
