my experience with movies is that they care not one iota for rare vehicles..or fully restored immaculate rare....
they are props..and to them if a $50 thousand vehicle needs to be destroyed, so be it...while thats a big amount to collectors...its peanuts to a film with a 150-million budget. and where just the promotion runs into several dozens of millions more.
I can't begin to imagine the number of beautiful, rare, vehicles, planes, boats, destroyed forever by Hollywood
Frankly even a rust bucket has usable parts to keep others running --unlike M series jeeps where you can actually build a jeep from the ground up with repro parts... iltis parts are rare and getting rarer...
and its a shame these four were wrecked.
