Were there three or four cars used for the film ?
One of the Swordfish cars that was also used in the Looney Tunes film still lives in Blackpool.
Also there's another Swordfish Tuscan being auctioned later this month.

I think a couple where just shells on chassis used to throw around in action sequences. One of the Swordfish cars that was also used in the Looney Tunes film still lives in Blackpool.

ETA I wonder what the provenance of the car been auctioned is, as it claims it was owned from new and used in the film. TVR supplied all the cars and from what I understand they were decidedly second-hand when they'd finished with them.

Agreed ,the car Looney Tunes/ Swordfish car was built up from a shell.ETA I wonder what the provenance of the car been auctioned is, as it claims it was owned from new and used in the film.

As for the auction car, it would be interesting to know it's history and see how much it realises at sale time.

I'd definitely love to see the history about that car...One of the Swordfish cars that was also used in the Looney Tunes film still lives in Blackpool.

There were four cars used. One should still be at the factory (the bullet hole car). Another one is used as been said before for the Looney Tunes film. Don't know what happened to the fourth...
There is only ONE who has been registered and driven with the W998 AFR plate, and that car is mine.

I am sure the car made it to at least one Pie On The Beach.Gassing Station | General TVR Stuff & Gossip | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
