Cool, Rick. I figured someone would have information. We did record the mov=
ie, but haven't watched it yet. Leo McKern is one of my favorites... "Ah, I=
'm being called by She Who Must be Obeyed."
I did see the same thing with them clipping a wider mirror into the origina=
l holder to do the "two-shot." But the wider mirror would actually be a nic=
e accessory. Wonder if anyone ever made them?
And my favorite Healey siting scene is still one of the closing scenes of O=
n the Beach, where she stands next to her BN6, watching the submarine come =
out under the Sydney bridge. Good eyes can spot the stock factory blanking =
plate in the cockpit filling the space where the heater controls would have=
gone, since the car had been produced for warmer climes without a heater.
Cheers
Gary

<div>Thanks for posting this. I've become a "collector" of films that
have Healeys in them and have well over a hundred of them, but this wasn't
one. In watching the movie, I was wondering why it had such an oversized
rear view mirror until I saw they used it to reflect both the driver and
passenger in the car in the same shot. As a Mercedes guy, I'm surprised
you didn't mention the Gullwing Mercedes in the final scene, driven by Leo
McKern, later famed for "Rumpole of the Bailey" The whole movie is
