How many minis where in the Italian job?

It's impossible to say exactly how many Minis were used in the filming of "The Italian Job" (1969). Here's why:

* Stunt Cars: The film used numerous Minis for stunts, many of which were likely destroyed or damaged during filming.

* Multiple Takes: Many scenes required multiple takes, leading to a higher number of Minis used than just the final count on screen.

* Behind-the-Scenes: There were probably Minis used for rehearsal, transportation, and other non-filming purposes.

Estimates and Known Facts:

* Around 35-40 Minis were used in total, according to various sources.

* 10 Minis were used for the final chase sequence, with a mix of original Minis and modified ones for specific stunts.

However, the exact number is a bit of a mystery. If you're interested in the specifics of the film's car usage, you might want to look for behind-the-scenes documentaries or interviews with the film's crew.
