In Hamburg, media mogul Carver’s henchmen track James Bond’s car to a multi-storey car park in hopes of retrieving the GPS Encoder. Bond (Pierce Brosnan) manages to elude them by using the remote control driving device to lead them off the top of the car park.
This one-third scale model is one of three surviving models used to film the finale of the action-packed car chase sequence. The production built a miniature set and air cannoned the miniature cars off the top.
Unusually this miniature model has a detailed undercarriage because it would be visible when filming from below. It also includes intentional continuity damage.
