The Bentley reverses into the path of a lorry and rolls over, but it's done with odd camera angles and cuts, so you never actually see it. Then they show the underneath of the car on its side with the driver lying against the door, clearly showing a split screen and the 6/80 dashboard. I think there was no chance they'd even gently put the Bentley on its side, so they got the poor condition Wolseley and tipped it. In the chase scene you can not only see the rusty, dented body, but it's chucking it some blue smoke too. If imagine this was it's last outing.
