It was sad to see, such beauty to go over the cliff and end upside down. I think they should have used a Citroen DS instead or maybe a 1970's Volvo Estate... I think this is one of the few scenes, where a car hits the bottom of a cliff and it don't explode, most of films, where a car goes over a cliff or simply rollover, the car always explodes.

Ralph ◊ 2006-04-22 19:44	On the first picture is a 280 SE or 280 S, also on the second. I have ownd the same car for a long time.
antp ◊ 2006-04-22 19:51	So they used multiple cars?

How do You spot the different models from outside if the vehicles are debadged or fake badged? Doesn´t a 280S look exactly the same as 450SE chassiwise? SEL-models of course are longer than SE. -- Last edit: 2006-05-03 18:08:30

Kooshmeister ◊ 2008-03-17 19:22	Yeah one was in Spain, the other in gosh I forget where, somewhere in Greece. Both cars were used by the assassin Locque, though, so either Locque just has a thing for Mercedes or he had his car from Spain brought to Greece.
G-MANN ◊ 2008-10-08 17:26	Used by Locque (Michael Gothard). When it ends up teetering over a cliff, Bond kicks it over, avenging the deaths of all those Locque killed. "He had no head for heights." -- Last edit: 2008-10-08 18:11:05
G-MANN ◊ 2008-10-08 17:27	To end this debate, the 450SEL badge can be seen in the scene this car first appears as well as the scene later on. -- Last edit: 2008-10-08 17:27:59

dsl ◊ 2012-08-06 16:57	Ignoring the badge, are any of these pictures actually an SEL body? Also none have headlamp wipers which was standard on all 450 SE and SEL from the start in May 73 (UK data). I think it is just a 280 S/SE all the way through.
