Retro Rides is an odd "place" - I think of it as "Deliverance" without the banjos.

Depends entirely upon how good a runner you are. Pig-like squealing skills are also helpful.

Seriously though; there's a nice Ford Anglia in that film, it appears in the scrapyard scene early on, before events begin taking an odd turn. You can just make it out through the back window of the International Harvester Scout in this screen grab from IMCDB:

It's an MG and cops it virtually straight away. There's also a MK1 Capri, MK1 Cortina and a few other bits of European tin to be seen. The original film is so much better than the re-make, but then that's usually the case. All the accidents are real, and yes, it really did wipe out on the lamp post.

Eleanor is still alive and makes occasional appearances at shows around the US still.
