BMC (British Motor Corp.), the owners of the Mini, refused to donate any cars for this movie. The chief of Fiat Motors, however, offered to donate all of the cars needed, including Fiat 500s in place of the Minis. Director Peter Collinson, however, decided that, as it was a very British movie, it should be British Minis. Fiat's boss still donated scores of cars for filming, as well as the factory grounds, and even though the authorities refused to close the roads, the Italian Mafia stepped in and shut whole sections of Turin down for filming, so the traffic jams in this movie are real, as are people's actions during it.
The silver Aston Martin DB4 thrown off the cliff by a Mafia bulldozer was a fake car. The red Jaguar E-Type (smashed up in the same scene) was restored in the 1990s and featured in a UK classic car magazine. The Lamborghini Miura, which featured in the opening scenes, was recently discovered in a secret car park in Paris and bought by a collector in Wales.
