Another which I can picture but not remember the details - it was a traditional Brit 50s thing (Jag? Bentley?) convertible with German/Austrian/Swiss body in a late 50s Swiss/Austrian colour film parked in traffic along an Alpine lane on a sunny summer day. Body might have been a name something like Spion - there was some chatter on the page about what/who until it was solved.
Found it - 1957 Jaguar Mk.VIII Spohn Coupé. Not really an Alpine lane ...

Another 1-off random background. Well known car valued at multiple millions now. Not so much in 1969.

... and Steve McQueen's customised Mini Cooper S is probably worth a ping.

Two nominations - not very exotic, but definitely quirky:
- Austin A35 Pickup in the real world
- enigmatic Commer Express 4-door Estate in India. No obvious explanation for who/how.
Another which I can picture but not remember the details - it was a traditional Brit 50s thing (Jag? Bentley?) convertible with German/Austrian/Swiss body in a late 50s Swiss/Austrian colour film parked in traffic along an Alpine lane on a sunny summer day. Body might have been a name something like Spion - there was some chatter on the page about what/who until it was solved.

Back to the topic of random background cars,
Sorry, indeed I missed the point
As rare background car, we have this Citroën GS Birotor:
https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_927850-Citro%C3%ABn-GS-Birotor-GZ-1974.html
(one of 847, and not many survived)
The related Citroën M35 only occurred in "on purpose" background cars, that does not count I guess
