Has anyone seen the Movie called "The General" about a notorious Dublin gangster, in one scene the getaway car is a black Dedra driven at speed through Dublin streets. Interesting , starring Kevin spacey as the General.
Its actually the film Ordinary Decent Criminal and its a grey Dedra driven by Colin Farrell!

A British film of 1959, "Hidden Homicide" includes footage of an English bodied Astura being used by the baddies in a car chase through the streets of suburban London. I have tried to find clips but so far without success. No doubt due to my incompetence using t`ìnternet

You can find the whole film on youtube, this bit gives it an honorable mention:

There is a rather good chase involving a Bentley and a Lambda in the 1968 Hammer film The Devil Rides Out. You can see it at the beginning of part 4 on the YouTube clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28d2RcbJ48w&NR=1
The sequence in fact begins at the end of part 3, and if you persist a little further into part 4 you will see what was then John Maltby's Lambda (now Tony Stephens') among the assembled cars.
Maltby's car appeared again in Camp on Blood Island where it was apparently destroyed by a grenade (Tony will probably find the dents under the back seat) but clips of that film don't appear to be available.

Re Camp on blood island, I think the Lambda belonged to my dad at the time, as i remember him telling me something about they paid for a new windscreen to replace the one that was cracked in the filming.BCO was the second car that i travelled in as a sprogg :)
