Spotted a 4200 outside in the car park of 007 Casino Royale I watched a couple of days ago.

There's a fleeting shot of an original QP in one of the episodes of the Man in the High Castle on Amazon which is odd since that's set in 1962 and they didn't come out until 63. The same for the 600 Grosser which also features. Is that too geeky?!

There's loads of that in TV , details are important , I watched a Police TV drama set in the 60s , old police station, panned out and there was a CCTV camera on the wall, a bit later on they were under a bridge and another CCTV camera was in shot, switched it off after that as it wasn't the 60s anymore

Not just in films - my wife is a fan of Nativity scenes and we have an annually more elaborate one with new buildings, bread ovens, animals or whatever she's made. There are whole shops devoted to the subject in the Mediterranean countries, shows, competitions etc. There is a debate about whether they should be set in late December 1 B.C. or whether current objects should be incorporated.

After all, mediaeval churches, Renaissance paintings and other artworks have key players in whatever they are portraying, whether carved in stone or painted in oils, dressed, with hairdos, even physical characteristics contemporary with the era in which they were created (e.g. fatter women were regarded as more beautiful until relatively recently and before the jet-set emerged and made them fashionable in the latter half of the last century sun-tans were a sign of lower social class, probably because it showed that you had to work - when the economy was heavily agricultural and a lot of work was outdoors).

I'm always amused to see amongst the accessories you can buy for markets in the vicinity of the stable or inn or whatever, stalls groaning with chorizo, jamon and other pork products plus others with crustaceans and molluscs in what was probably a pretty kosher part of town, and more bizarre, an adjacent stall with potatoes, maize and chillies, antedating C Columbus by nearly 1500 years. I've yet to see one of the Kings arriving with his myrrh in a 4200 though!

Saw a qp in Dom Hemmingway, a film with Jude Law in it. Only caught it halfway through but it looked a half decent film.
The QP is right near the end.

Just watched The Man from UNCLE and I think there's a 3500GT parked outside the hotel in Rome after around half an hour. Excellent film by the way. Car **** throughout E-Type, 250GTO, Trabant and lots of other 60s Italian metal and Alicia Vikander is pretty easy on the eye as well.

In the new advert for Sky (which I'm heartily sick of) is the car under the sofa a Bora or Merak?

Not exactly a film but there are several GT police cars in Dubai in Ken Blocks latest Gymkhana video.

Don't you love small smart phone screens...not

Android phones do strange things if you go back and correct any spelling. Press space and it invents new words by merging the word you corrected and the last word you typed. Tech gone mad Saf :)

A very brief shot of the back end of a GranCab being repossessed and towed away in Southpaw. If you hadn't guessed, t's a boxing film - the usual fodder of a champ who loses everything and then comes back, but not too bad
