>Funny you should mention that. I made an inquiry a few (5-6) years ago on rec.cars.something, asking what car it was that Max Smart drove in the opening sequence of Get Smart (before switching to a VW Kharman Ghia later in the series.) It was a Sunbeam (not sure about the Sprite part).

>I'd agree with you about it being pretty. But according to the people on that newsgroup, it was pretty powerful, with a little Ford V8 in it.

A Ford V8? How could it fit in that teeny little car? :) I once knew someone who had one, and I remember it as a sort of "zippy" little thing, but not with a lot of power...
