To own the Corgi version was the wish of every kid of that time. To have the real thing rather takes that to a new level.
Beat me to it. I’ve never been much of a car person, but if I could have anything, it would be that DB5. I think anyone who was a kid when that film came out wanted one - or an E-type.
Do you get the car as it was in the film (i.e. if it was real?), or the actual one they filmed a movie with (acknowledging it's not real?) - answer to both would probably be the DeLorean from BTTF. Though on the latter I'd be tempted by the Ford Anglia from Harry Potter or the ECTO-1 from Ghostbusters.
But, if you just get the same model of car, then maybe the DB5 from Bond.
Some great cars mentioned on here, and would certainly be happy with a 68 fastback GT Mustang, has to be Green as in the McQueen movie, still to me the best car chase scene, I saw the remaking with his son Chad last year, recreating the iconic scenes as a tribute to his father to celebrate 50 years and they had to modify the cars as the jumping over the streets, caused the suspension to give way?. If I remember they had three cars in the original movie. When the car 'jumps' back in reverse with the burn out caused a few issues as well!. Here is the story, https://www.driving.co.uk/news/chase-hunt-begins-missing-mustangs-steve-mcqueens-bullitt/....... If I could not get one I guess a four cam like this 'runaround' like the 1967 Ferrarri 275 GTB/4s NART spider by Scaglietti, one of only 10 made just the thing for about £40 million, if one is available!.
Dodge Viper, however I couldn't choose which one from Film or TV... So this one please. 2008 SRT-10 model - The colours are perfect cheers.
I believe this was the model used in "Wanted" with James McAvoy driving and Angelina Jolie sliding her body all over it. EDIT - Confirmed it is the model in wanted, but I'll keep the white stripes cheers.
Red 1960 MG Elvis drove in the film Blue Hawaii, he liked it that much he bought it and took it back to Graceland, I’m a saddo and have touched the steering wheel when it was at the o2 😃
Italian Job minis. Original, obs. Quite liked their van, too. And the bus.
They had the van on display at The Goodwood Revival last year.
Brilliant Dave! How cool is that? Must go to the Revival next time it's on!
It's a fantastic weekend mate, by far the best classic car event around. It's still scheduled for September this year but pretty sure it won't go ahead.

A heart doctor friend of mine goes every year in full costume with his family and his photos are always just amazing. He seems to know so many people there, but his videos of the circuit make me drool!
