I think it is a Jowett 8 or 10, but I am not sure and so far cannot find any proof. |

how about a dodge |

I think its a BMW circa 1935. |

Too small for a Dodge I thought about a Fraser-Nash-BMW, but could not match it. The film was made in 1943 in the UK. Taking a genuine BMW for the good guy would probably have been not such a good idea. |

You are probably right and it seems a little small but that grill certainly looks like a 1935 BMW. Can't find anything else with that exact shape. Some Jowetts are close but the top of the grill is too angular. I also thought about Lancia but that probably wouldn't have been any more likely than BMW. |

Quite probably the make is 'Standard' but the 'Flying Eight' Tourer is a smaller car than this. The 'Flying Eight' Tourer had flexible side-screens in place of the glass side windows with the quarter-lite as shown in the movie vehicle. Not a 'Flying Eight' as here www.imcdb.org/vehicle.php?id=82102 -- Last edit: 2007-01-24 11:47:33 |

1939 Flying Light Twelve Drophead Coupe as below. The following are for the 1937 model although by 1939 brochures for the Flying Twelve saloon show they use the later 'Water-fall' radiators. Link to "www.motorbase.com" -- Last edit: 2007-01-24 12:21:32 |
