Scent of a Woman Mondial

It was a T-Cab, says so in the movie.

"That sir is the T Cabriolet...."

 

Yeah, that line always annoyed me. They managed to leave out the word "Mondial" in the movie. I loved the Ferrari salesman though!

I love the F40 in the showroom!

 

Me too! Simon, you are one lucky guy to own one of those beasts. Sadly, I don't think I will ever be able to afford an F40. It's my ultimate dream car. I would prefer an F40 over any other Ferrari of the past or present including the Enzo.

"Known from coast to coast like butter and toast." Great scene, Great movie, Great cars. Hoo ahh.

 

lol i saw the Ferrari part of the movie just by chance. I love the part when the cop stops them when Al is driving. I forget what he says though. Either way i enjoyed it.

Mondial Cabs also appeared in 'Dirty Rotten scoundrels' (white) and in 'Only You' (red)

 

Officer Gore: Who's the kid?
Colonel: My boy, Charlie. He wanted me to let it out.
What was I supposed to do, disappoint him?
Officer Gore: Yes!
Tell you what I'm going to do, Colonel. I'm
going to let you go, under one condition.
Colonel: What's that?
Officer Gore: You take this rig right back to the dealer.
Charlie: You, you got it!
Colonel: Shut-up!
Officer Gore: Want this (handing the license back to the Colonel)?
Colonel: Gore, your face and your voice look familiar.
Ever been to the Officer's Club?
Officer Gore: No.
Colonel: Ever been in the Army?
Officer Gore: No. Coast Guard!
Colonel: Good Lord!
Officer Gore: (Chuckling), your Dad is looking good, Charlie.

 

Weird Science too

 

about Onasis and Jackie Kennedy...

re: Scent of a Woman -- Do you think F-car salesmen really pocket thousands in cash bribes for a test drive?

 

...and I take it, that salesman was an actor and not a legit salesman?

 

salesmen ...actor ....difference? But is the movie image of the arrogant snooty f-car salesman correct? I think not in my experience (except at auto shows..) but it worked well in the script and was a funny scene.

 

I remember reading it on here somewhere, but i've never seen the film.

There was also a coupe in Rockstar

 

the difference is it makes it more interesting/realistic if they use real people instead of actors.

 

the Mondial t cab used in the film I recall was a 91. It was also fitted with the Valeo auto clutch system. It was also the FNA press car used for all the promotion. unfortunatly I do not recall the vin#.

best regards, Jim

 

I think this car is currently available at FoSF. At least it was there yesterday.

 

I guess they are advertising it as THE one in the movie. How much more are they asking for it because of its history?

 

according to their website they have this one for sale at $ 48.000

Although that part is funny, i was talking about this part...

Gore: you test driving this baby?
colonel: dont she purr?
Gore: Not at 75MPH
colonel: you should hear her at one hundred twenty.
makes me smile...

I just ordered the movie $6.99 from deep Discount DVD.
I'll post the video clip after I receive it if I can.

 

I just cry laughing everytime I hear the Coast Guard comment.
"Good Lord!"

 

The one on the FoSF website is a 1990 with a five speed. If the one from Scent of a Woman (1991 with Valeo) is at FoSF they are not advertising it. Wouldn't you want to buy the Scent of a Woman car in a second at $48K?

 

Unlikely to have had Valeo clutch in 1989.

 

the car in Scent of a Woman was a 1991 T Cab it is a 5sp the Valeo was only available in 92-93

I have the chassis # somewhere need to dig it up.

As soon as I do I will get back to you.

The scene was supposedly shot at Steven Kessler Motorcars.
