Saw Rush tonight, great movie. Only one question, what is the green wagon in front of the McLaren building? James Hunt parks behind it in his Mini.

thanks

Might just be a VW squareback, had louvers on rear quarters.

That's James Hunt with his Austin A35 van. Here's the same van recently;

I haven't seen Rush but maybe that's it?

EDIT: Can't get image to work and I'm tired.

An A35 van similar to a Jensen Interceptor???

Must be something else, surely?

That's not it. I just saw the movie as well and also wondered what the car was. No idea what it might be though.

Yea not Austin, the Jensen comment is probably way off. But its a sharp car, as soon as a few people see the movie, Im sure someone will know, you cant miss it.

I haven't seen the movie and I know that this car has little relationship to an Interceptor besides the name, but is it possible that it was a Jensen GT?

What about a Reliant Scimitar?

Those aren't it either. I saw the car and was trying to figure out what it was the rest of the movie.

I need a Jensen GT to bookend my roadster.

Scimitars are cool cars. They had Ford Cologne V6's, were made of fiberglass and not many made it to this side of the pond, supposedly between 10 and 12.

Just saw the film (loved it). I think it's a VW 412. Like a VW Wagon, but slightly different.

Yup, 412. Saw it last night, highly enjoyed, mostly because they got the details right
