Footnotes

Selon les informations communiquées par le vendeur, ce master prototype unique de la mascotte a servi pendant la production du film de point de départ pour des versions résine, qui sont celles qui apparaissent à l'écran y compris lors des tournages de poursuites effectués dans le centre de Londres. En effet, du fait de la difficulté et du délai de fabrication de l'exemplaire en acier moulé, ce sont les versions résine, plus simples, qui ont été utilisées pour ne pas retarder la production ; cette version originale était restée en attente sur le plateau, comme solution de secours.
La "Panther De Ville" du film était l'une des environ 60 Panther Westwinds conçues par Robert Jankel dans l'esprit de la célèbre Bugatti Royale, dans le but d'attirer une clientèle aux goûts de luxe. La voiture du film avait bénéficié de certaines modifications d'aspect, dont une livrée spécifique noire et blanche, et était équipée d'un moteur V8 ; elle est exposée à Disneyland Paris.

According to information supplied by the vendor, this one-off Master Prototype mascot was used during production of the film as a basis for resin versions of the mascot that eventually appeared on screen including during filming on location in central London driving scenes, as due to the time and effort used to produce this cast steel example, simpler resin versions were used so as not to delay production, with this original version on stand-by as a back up on set.
The "Panther De Ville" car used in the film was one of about 60 Panther Westwinds models, originally conceived by Robert Jankel with styling reminiscent of the famed Bugatti Royale and designed to appeal to customers with luxury tastes, with some styling modifications, a replacement V8 engine for filming, and with distinctive white and black livery, the car is currently on display at the Walt Disney Studios Park in Disneyland Paris.
