Hi, Does anybody know the name of the blue car driven by the mafia boss's chauffeur in this film. It is seen following the convoy. I think it must be a Lancia, Fiat or perhaps an Alfa.
Cheers

Could be wrong, but ISTR it's a Fiat 2300 Coupe.
I don't think it is, according to these pictures:

Think I've got it - Fiat 130 Coupe - what a beauty

Can't be.
The film was released in 1969, the 130 Coupe wasn't launched until 1972.
Yes, it must have been the saloon version, released in 1969.
Which looks *nothing* like the Coupe.
A Fiat Dino?
Have you found a picture of the sedan version? I can't seem to find one :-(

okay, unless that one is a MKI and they used a later one in the film, I'm sure the film car is a two door...
Which is why I said it's a 130 Coupe.
The Mafia definitely use a 130 Coupe in the film.
Argh. I mean 2300 Coupe..... for both.
maybe, I thought it had rectangular headlights in the film and not all of that glass around the rear, anyway, I want one of those 130 Coupe's - that is really a pretty car :-)
Well batted, Einstein.
_Sold_ in '72. The body for the 130 coupe (the square one) had already been exhibited before the film was made.
A bunch of motoring favours were called in from various makers for that film, including the Miura
And Fiat were more than helpful for the film, which is why the roof of the factory was used for the shoot, and why they were able to literally gridlock Turin, for real.
Well, it's only telly now, and it's a Dino Coupe.
They definitely use a 2300 Coupe as a mafia car later in the film.

Well, it's on the telly now, and it's a Dino Coupe.
They defnitely have a 2300 Coupe as a mafia car later in the film.
