Cast

The closing part of Octopussy is set in West Germany, but most of the scenes were filmed on location in England; the Alfa Romeo GTV6 used in filming is a left-hand drive model with registration plate BT F 608. The origin of the Alfa Romeo GTV6 that was used in the making of Octopussy is unknown. It appears to be a standard first generation GTV6 (1980/81/82) with a V6 engine identified by the power bulge on the bonnet of the car.
