Default Italian accent "Pretty Car" - is from Italian Job?

I've noticed a few people do the "Pretty Car" statement in a (usually poor) Italian accent. Is it from the Italian Job just before the mafia push the Aston over the side of the cliff with a dozer?

I use it quite often. I've seen others on here do it and James May did it last night on Top Gear refering to the Alfa.

Anyone else know this little saying as being from the Italian Job?

Jag and the Aston get trashed by the dozer.

The Miura is trashed at the start. Beckerman drives into the dozer.

A Lambo Miura is driven at the start by Beckerman and is destroyed, along with Beckerman when it's driven into a hidden bulldozer in a tunnel.

When Charlie and the gang meet up with the mob they have at least two cars, a red Jag E-Type and the Aston. I know the Jag goes over the edge, and I'm pretty sure the Aston does too.
