This scene was set and had to be filmed in southern France (as some other French scenes were filmed there). I compared it with few other "retros" known to me and nothing does come so close like Gepard. Any other ideas? -- Last edit: 2017-04-09 20:45:08

Weasel1984 ◊ 2017-04-19 22:48	Yes it is generally very similar the only thing which makes me doubt is the rarity of the car. Worth to notice that the guy on the pic - one of the main characters - wasn't a proffessional actor - in real life he was a Polish businessman, who lived for years in France. I guess it can be even one of his cars - this would explain a presence of this exotic vehicle in this foreign location. Of course it could be a coincidence too. -- Last edit: 2017-04-19 22:50:45
