carfan ◊ 2006-03-20 21:54	Just to let you all know, Most of these vehicles can't possibly be newerthan 1945 because this movie is supposed to be set in WWII. I'm not saying all of these cars are Pre-1945 I just think that a few are older that that.

You are probably right but its not unusual to see cars that do not match the year of a movie when the movie is set a long time in the past. Most films are not made to be really historically accurate. The only thing that is sure is that the car cannot be younger than the movie -- Last edit: 2006-03-20 22:22:39

freddy ◊ 2008-08-08 09:59	Hello, there is a car missing. In one scene there is a japanese convoy in the background of the camp consisting of two "japonized" Borgward B2000a/o troop carriers packed with soldiers. These military cars were built in Germany in the mid 50s. Maybe someone could extract the picture which I can´t. -- Last edit: 2008-08-08 10:00:29

johnfromstaffs ◊ 2013-08-28 09:38	Alessandro58 wrote List of vehicles complete now. In the picture in front of the large country house, presumably the Berkshire location, appears on the right what looks to be, from the width of its radiator grille, a Standard Flying V-VIII. Why no interest in this extremely rare British car? -- Last edit: 2013-08-28 09:38:23
