Muppet, a single word response isn't conducive to getting a thread started but since you took the trouble to reply, I've just watched it again on the Sky+. As Charlize Theron and the gang drive up to Ed's mansion one of the boys notices an Aston Martin Vanquish. But ... after Charlize leaves, when she is talking to Mark Wahlberg at the van, Ed drives by in the background in a grey Z3 with the hood up.

The Italian Job
Hi,
Think the first film of 'The Italian Job' was the best, starring Michael Caine. The cars were fab in it. Think the second one was disappointing. The best movie on cars recently has been the animation film 'Cars'. Loved Luigi the motor mechanic.

Unfortunately not...................It was a ground up restoration that cost me fortunes, even renewing the light switches and ashtrays
