The Italian Job car was regd 619DXX not DDX, Was this just a typo? Chassis no given is correct age for the reg no. (London CC 29/3/62)

Chassis 860277 left the factory in Signal Red with a Red interior in March 1962, the registration 619 DXX is a London registration ( XX ).
Car appeared in the film 'The Italian Job' starring Michael Caine and was smashed up with a digger along with 848 CRY, the Red E-type Roadster
( now owned by Phillip Porter ). One photo shows ( inbetween filming ) Michael Caine hitting 860277 with a sledge hammer to give the car a more smashed up look.
Because the Roadster was Red the FHC 860277 was quickly pained in dark blue for the film. Because of the severe damage sustained to the roof the car was presumed dead.
It has survived but may be a Roadster for obvious reasons
