Bloke gets one serviced in Park Royal! It thunders down my road, and it makes all the HR Owen's holding yard (filled to the brim with lambo's & prancing horses!) hardware sound shite!

What a car!

The Mustang GT 500 dubbed Eleanor is actually one of 12 that were built for the movie. Unfortunately, two of these were destroyed in the climactic bridge jump and junkyard crusher scenes. Of all the Eleanors built, no two were alike because each car was constructed for a specific purpose. One was built for handling, another was built for power, another built for looks, etc.


While all the Eleanors appeared to be Shelby GT500’s, they were really modified Mustang fastbacks. Also, the Eleanor that people remember in the movie was a four-on-the-floor, but most of the 12 were automatics because it's easier to act and do stunts when you’re not manually shifting gears.
