How did the name Bullitt Cars come about?
The name Bullitt Cars comes from the cult film Bullitt, which stars the legendary Steve McQueen. We felt it was important to build a brand based on a classic car film and we’ve never looked back. As you drive along the A1 into London, past Mill Hill Broadway, it’s impossible to miss the large lettering for Bullitt Cars and that’s exactly the effect we were hoping for. People drive past and they remember Bullitt Cars!
The plot
Based on Robert L. Pike's crime novel Mute Witness, Bullitt (directed by Peter Yates) sees Steve McQueen in one of his most famous roles as tough-guy police detective Frank Bullitt. The story begins with Bullitt assigned to a seemingly routine detail, protecting mafia informant Johnny Ross, who is scheduled to testify against his Mob cronies before a Senate subcommittee in San Francisco. But when a pair of hitmen ambush their secret location, fatally wounding Ross, things don't add up for Bullitt, so he decides to investigate the case on his own. Unfortunately for him, ambitious senator Walter Chalmers, the head of the aforementioned subcommittee, wants to shut his investigation down, hindering Bullitt's plan to not only bring the killers to justice but discover who leaked the location of the hideout.
