I supplied Peter Bell half a dozen cars for this movie. They ended up running out of cars and Lance asked the receptionist if they could use her Commodore 4 cylinder to just shoot the last scene on a day with him driving it across a paddock and thru a farm gate. Lance misjudged the gate and tee boned the Commodore writing it off and putting himself in hospital. They used this scene in the movie. The Capri was a great Sports Sedan and I am wrapt to hear that it is the hands of someone who appreciates it.....may recall more of this later... Regards,
Tony Rutherford.
