tiltboy:
Not trying to Hijack your quiz again Richard but:

Anyone know what the B in 365GTB/4 stands for?

Again - todays star prize is - NOWT!  :lol:

JEZ

Bush Tucker Man:
You're correct Jez

It was indeed the wonderful 'Gumball Rally' & a (young-ish) Raul Juali

It also featured a young Gary Busey in a Camaro

The real star sequence was the shots in the Los Angeles storm drains, as seen in the Terminator film with the truck & motorbike (& the 50's giant Ant films)
Imagine a Daytona & Cobra pirouetting at 100MPH in standing water, magic =D>

The English car it inflenced was the Rover SD1 (compare the fronts)
Some publicity shots showed the SD1 in conjunction with a Daytona

tiltboy:
Thanks Rich for that.

May I hijack once again?

How does the Gumball Rally NOT QUITE link to Sonny Burnett - twice?

Good luck.

Jez.

Bush Tucker Man:
Apparantly it's a pseudonym used by one of the charactors in the forthcoming 'Miami Vice' film & there was a Daytona in the TV series
(I don't know if one's going to be used in the film??)

tiltboy:
There were actually two cars, neither of them Daytonas, but Corvette replicas. Not identical either, one had pop up headlights and the other had them faired in.

Both cars were bought from Miami Dade police recovered goods auction by the TV company after they were seased from the manufacturer by the U.S. trading standards for using the Ferrari and Daytona trade marks!

A mind full of useless information.  :wink:
