This car (Tiffany Case's one) deserves "***" as Peter Franks' Triumph Stag V8.

Infamous for switching sides when doing a wheelie to go down an alleyway. I read that the stunt was performed twice & the best of the two were combined, but no-one noticed the 2nd stunt was done on the opposite side.

Source: http://commanderbond.net:

Keen to withheld it’s lasting relationship with the James Bond franchise, Ford supplied the producers with 8 brand-new editions of what was currently one of the word’s most sought after muscle-cars.

Filming in the spectacular backdrop of Las Vegas’ glitzy casino scene, the James Bond crew filmed the chase sequence of Diamond Are Forever in a total of three location. The main bulk of the chase took place on-location on the streets of Las Vegas, whilst the entrance scene took place in Universal Studios’, and pickup shots filmed at James Bond’s traditional home of Pinewood Studios, back in England.

Just as in the previous Bond-flick, 007 drove his love-interests cars. Instead of revving up Tracy’s cougar, James drove Tiffany Case’s Mustang through the streets of Las Vegas, performing a series of hair-raising stunts including the highlight of the sequence in which the car was tilted upon its side, and driven on only two wheels.

Today, the whereabouts of only two of the Mustang Mach-1’s used in the filming are known. Mysteriously the other six 335bhp cars have simply vanished!

The was an auction with one of the cars:

Belongs to Tiffany Case (Jill St. John). Later on Bond takes the wheel and he is chased by the police through the streets of Las Vegas.

The chase culminates in this impressive stunt where the Mustang passes through a narrow alley tilting on two wheels.

When the car comes out the other end of the alley it is tilting on the opposite side to which it went in. This is because originally they filmed a stunt where it was balanced on the right side but a crowd of people were watching and this spoiled the stunt. So they ended up putting a shot where the car was balanced on the left side.
