It was supplied as a static prop but was later got running, after this scene was filmed. It had a brake failure and ran into another vehicle on location and was wrecked. It was used as a background wreck in some footage that didn't make it into the film where the patrol get held up by a traffic jam. If you look carefully you can see that it has a split windscreen unlike the Mercedes model. The side profile also shows off the mudguard shape.
