I spotted what looks like a Lotus Elan parked in the movie Dirty Harry. Near the end of the movie when Harry's crooked boss is reversing away you can spot the Elan briefly in the top left corner of the screen. Maybe it belonged to one of the film crew?

If it's an S3 or earlier (I can't tell) then vacumm failure would mean lights down

THANKS for the shot AND it is an elan!
But weren't they only fitted to the S4 (I suppose it could have been retrofitted) ?

No, I think that item came up recently in discussion and most of the USA Elans had the fail-safe lights.
John: I think perhaps you can change the title if you click the EDIT button on the root message.

In the photo here,

it looks like it may have had gold bumpers, making it a Sprint with the fail-safe lights.
