Violet Elizabeth Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 Did anyone else read in Autocar about a Dutch magazine that had proved that it was a not a Ferrari after all but a Renault Alpine ? Apparently they also took a Chrysler Crossfire (those crazy dutch !) round the same route late at night and it took 16 minutes, twice as long as the film. Still a fun film to watch though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Violet Elizabeth Posted January 24, 2004 Author Share Posted January 24, 2004 It is I, Clouseau ... dans ma Ferrari ... drahving around Paris, vair, vair fast - early one moaning in ze Seventies Some French director called Claude LeLoche, apparently had 8 minutes of film left after shooting a film, so he strapped the camera to his new Ferrari 275 GTB and drove from the Arc de Triomphe up to Sacre Cour like a bit of a nutter. It now turns out that it may have been a Renault Alpine, with Jean-Louis Schlesser driving, and the soundtrack was taken from a 1966 Ferrari 330 P3 on a test track. Perhaps. All good fun either way.
