Sure about 3? It was sold as 323F here and Protege5 in the USA and 3 was only used for the next model in both cases. Mid 2001 (so MY2002?)-03 [BJ]. |

Though the plate is fake in this scene, it is the real plate's combination and returns as a 2003 Protegé. The 52cm plate on the tiny US cake tin can be seen in episode 4. |

A North American Protegé would have amber indicator lenses. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:%2702_Mazda_Proteg%C3%A9_ES_2.0.jpg And because the car has a fake plate in this shot I suspect that it is a European-spec 323 doubling for the Protegé. |

You don't understand. It has a fake plate in this scene, that's true, but in episode 4 it has a real Russian plate with the same combination. I checked that and it came back as a 2003 Protege. Possible that it was sold as a Protege in some Southeast Asian countries in European specification. I'll post a picture when I get home. -- Last edit: 2018-10-09 11:41:16 |

What I mean is that the car in this particular shot is not the same car as the Protegé with the "cake tin". |

![[Image: protegetaillights.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/16833/protegetaillights.jpg) But it has Protege tail lights too. Not sure why they would use two different specs for one car. |

I've been trying to say all along that two different cars were used. Three star role, so important enough that the film crew might want a back-up in case the car broke down. Keeping the actors and crew waiting while someone tries to fix a car gets very expensive very quickly. |

I can understand that, but still I won't let the idea go that it's a Protege, despite the lacking sidemarker. |
