Subject: Re: Rapide in Disney film...
David,
Sorry for the slow response.
The Rapide is the 'chase' car in pursuit of a TR4. The latter turns off into a boarding school and the Rapide drives on. The TR4 parks and the driver collapses as he gets out of the car but not before delivering an important couple of words to a very young Kurt Russell and chum.
As you probably know, the index number of the car is: CZB 67B. The paint looks to be a mid to light green (although this is difficult to discern). In terms of specific features, the car does
not exhibit the 'inboard' 'in grille' lights, does
not have wing indicator lights in front of the side vents, and does
not have chrome panels behind the headlights. It does have, however, twin rectangular fog lights mounted below the front bumper and a badge bar mounted above. There are twin round fog lights mounted on the bar along with three badges - the central one is almost certainly a Lagonda Club badge. The car is on steel wheels but I can't see which type of rear bumper has been used. I have run the clip several times and am becoming convinced that the standard radio ariel mounting is absent from the front off side wing (although it is very difficult to tell).
Best wishes,
Tim
