Toyota obligingly sliced the roof off its rare, expensive and exotic 2000GT especially for this film, because Connery couldn't fit in the coupe, and, in any case, an open top made filming rather easier. In the film the only gadget in this car is a TV monitor, from which Connery watches a Toyota Crown full of baddies being dropped from a helicopter. However, the Corgi version had rocket launchers. Two 2000GT convertibles were made for the film; Toyota has one in its museum, but the other has disappeared.
