<P> During the getaway the Minis are pursued by police around the rooftop test track of what was then a Fiat factory in the Lingotto building in Turin . The weir the Minis cross in the car chase is just down river from the Ponte Vittorio Emanuele I at the end of Via Po in central Turin . </P> <P> A portion of the car chase was filmed as a dance between the Minis and police cars inside Pier Luigi Nervi's Exhibition Building, with a full orchestra playing' The Blue Danube' . It was cut from the final version and appears as an extra on the DVD . </P> <P> The final escape from Turin was filmed on the road to Ceresole Reale via Lago Agnel and Colle del Nivolet (the highway does not lead to France or Switzerland because it's a dead end). The bus was left hanging off this corner in the climatic ending . </P> <P> Roger Beckermann's orange Lamborghini Miura in the opening scene is actually two cars . The first was a Miura P400 that was sold as new afterwards . In 2015 it was found and verified, and now belongs to Cheshire Classic Cars . The car tumbled down the chasm by the Mafia bulldozer was another Miura that had been in a serious accident and was not roadworthy . </P>
