Default Italian Job Cars - 06-06-2006 , 12:01 PM






Hi, Does anybody know the name of the blue car driven by the mafia boss's
chauffeur in this film. It is seen following the convoy. I think it must be
a Lancia, Fiat or perhaps an Alfa.

Cheers

Could be wrong, but ISTR it's a Fiat 2300 Coupe.

I don't think it is, according to these pictures:

Can't be.

The film was released in 1969, the 130 Coupe wasn't launched until 1972.

Which looks *nothing* like the Coupe.

Have you found a picture of the sedan version?
I can't seem to find one :-(
