The opening scene of Octopussy is set at a military airbase in an unidentified Latin American country, but was filmed on location at RAF Northolt near Ruislip, England; the Range Rover Cabriolet used in filming was a left-hand drive model with registration plate R4641. The origin of the Range Rover used in the making of Octopussy is unknown. It is a rare conversion of the 3-door Range Rover done by British specialist coachbuilder Rapport Ltd.
