When Mannix leaves Graves house the license plate on his car is Y 16 230, but during the time he is being tailed and at the traffic signal it is NMO 918.
When Mannix is being tailed by the other private eye, he stops at a red light and puts the top down on his car. In the next shot, he continues to drive, turns the corner and the boot is on his convertible deck. To put the boot on, he would have had to exit the car, walk around both sides, and affix about a dozen snaps to get it in place.
At the very beginning is Kathy walking to her Jaguar. On the next row of parked cars there is a white Dodge "Ajax Garage" pick-up (which will soon follow her out of the lot). The truck is parked four spaces from the end of its row, with three vacant spaces to its left.
When she is about 6 feet from her car, they switch to a closer shot of her, a split second later, right at her car. But now that white pick-up has miraculously and instantly moved three spaces to its left, to the end of the row, and all the spots are now occupied.

Besides the other issues in the opening scene, they show Jessica pulling the emergency brake and nothing happens. It is possible that the emergency brake was disabled. But an e type with that brake is a manual - if you look you see the black base of the shifter up ahead. So if you had no brakes then you would immediately downshift, which she never does, or push in the clutch. And when they show the close up of what should be hitting the brake, there are only two pedals so it's an automatic - but with a manual there would be a third pedal. The close up insert must be from another car, although the corner right panel in the close up does look like what you would see in an e type, so maybe they had both an auto and a manual version around the studio at different times.
When Jessica first drives off from the parking lot she is going around the corner and up the hill the first time they show her foot on the brake. She would not need to brake there. Later she is fishtailing down the hill and going fast enough to slide around, but then turns to miss the truck and is able to come to a stop in a very short distance with no impact. When the car goes up on the dirt it is barely rolling.
