No German location listed on imdb but a lot of eps 3 & 4 take place in Hamburg, Lübeck and places in between, as confirmed by cl82. This is genuine film shot at the end of a pan across from Smiley's Opel See the Opel page for more place identifications.

Have picked out a few - here's some more: SPECIAL SAAB COLLECTION 2 or 3 door 99 with black grille and chrome bumpers. I don't think there was any other visible Saab anywhere. Lesser cars: - a big LWB Cadillac - a 4 door Chevette (not Kadett) These can all get pages if anyone really wants, but no better views possible.

SPECIAL SAAB COLLECTION [Image: loki8.gif]

2 or 3 door 99 with black grille and chrome bumpers. I don't think there was any other visible Saab anywhere.

Lesser cars:
- a big LWB Cadillac

- a 4 door Chevette (not Kadett)

These can all get pages if anyone really wants, but no better views possible.
