In the  classic television series “Get Smart” (1965 - 1970) , secret agent Maxwell Smart drove a red 1965 Sunbeam Tiger - loaded with exaggerated, James Bond style spy gadgets hidden inside the car - rotating license plate, ramming bumperettes, machine gun trapdoor in the hood, smoke screen and, (would you believe…) a passenger ejector seat.  Because the real Tiger packed a bulky V8 engine, there was not enough room under the hood for prop mechanisms. Producers often used a modified Sunbeam Alpine lookalike with Tiger badges for active gadget scenes.
