It seems like two different Minis were used, even though they're supposed to be the same in the movie. It's constantly being described as a doghouse made by Morris, but it could be an Austin as well, I think. |

Hundkoja (doghouse) is what these are called in Sweden, are they in Norway too? |

Nope. Never heard before, that is. |

In the thumbnails a badge is visible on the front of the bonnet. It is long and narrow in shape which suggests Morris, the Austin badge being roughly square with the upper side slightly longer. This all means nothing really, parts could have been swapped over the years. |

Basically a Morris Mini Minor Mk1 [ADO15] - or local name - nothing Cooper visible. Some detail issues: rear looks as if Mk2 tail-lights fitted, but no frontal Mk2 detail visible anywhere else; 4th thumb has poverty dash so basic model, with black dial which I think was 61+, and exterior also looks basic although I'm not sure if there are opening rear side windows or not; grille looks same format throughout, but gradually disintegrating. Everything could match only one car - I can't separate out a Car A from a Car B. |

Definitely Morris - apart from the badge, Austins had 'crinkly' grilles -- Last edit: 2012-03-19 20:27:33 |
