MG TD TF 1500 - TD in the movies

Does anybody remember the Stanley Kubrick film 'The Killing' from 1956 starring Sterling Hayden?
Here's a link to the original trailer for the movie, what can you spot about the TD?

I wonder if this car still exists?

Other than the flat rear tire and the louvered "bonnet", nothing else.

mirrors on the fenders...
Hope everyone has seen "Two for the Road" with Audrey Hepburn...

Yes, almost ordered a vanity plate "24THEROAD" but never got around to it. My wife's favorite movie but it's like pulling teeth to get her to go for a ride! Go figure...

Custom paint job with the hood a different color than body and the swoop paint on the doors and body doors.

Also whats up with the MG emblem on the radiator? They may have blacked that out because of the glare.

Big dent in the center of the front bumper.

I know this car still exists... from the 1966 movie, "The Group"

Amazing what Hollywood can do - it's now a TC in The Group!

That can't be a real TC, she mearly held the steering wheel, and there was no bouncing on that road. If it were a real TC she would have been wrestling that wheel and the car would have been bouncing and jouncing down the road. ;-)

If Hollywood can sell a TD for $250k that was made two years after the movie it was in, they can do anything :-)
Christopher Couper

Blair, 'She had a fine strong back and a tapering waist' and that was just the TC!
Cliff Harvey

No outside door handles?? Jud

Jud -
Good catch... kids nowadays are doing it, they call it "shaving"... the owner did it back in the 50's. There is another scene in which Candice went for the outside handle, then bobbled and went for the inside latch...

The TC now has the handles back on the car...
