 Borgward probably worth a page. They were locally built 1954-62, possibly 334 made in total.

 Good chance most cars featured here were assembled in Ireland .
Below Morris Minors from Brittains in Portobello, Dublin and VW Beetles from MDL at Ballsbridge, Dublin (probably :) )

 Everything listed apart from the Sprite was locally built, although the Cambridge seems a British visitor. There's no listing for local Vespa builds, but they did Goggo saloonss 1957-59 - all with 293cc so presumably T300?? In 1959 a new distributor advertised the TS400 Coupe, but it's unclear if they built any or even sold any as one local ad photo looks LHD.

Quote The title suggests the first of a series in this quirky little hybrid made at Ardmore Studios set in London while shot on obviously Irish locations; but this was very much a one-off.

Buses in background look Dublinesque??

 ^^ I think that is possible. Do we see the odd three part upper front window arrangement of the CIE bodies? It’s not totally clear, also the roof vents and the large number of small windows along the body sides.
