Ingo ◊ 2008-06-28 18:47	Hmm, it looks like a Citroen 5CV or its derivate Opel 4PS for me - but the Citroen was always yellow and the Opel green.
Ingo ◊ 2008-06-28 18:51	Wasn't there an derivate, made by Austin, too? It's a British movie, so Citroen and Opel weren't so likely.
Sunbar ◊ 2008-06-28 19:04	Its left hand drive so Citroen or Opel are more likely than Austin or another British make. (My first though was Citroen.)
nzcarnerd ◊ 2008-06-28 22:31	More likely Citroen I think.
DynaMike ◊ 2008-06-28 22:43	The Opel 4/12 PS 'Laubfrosch' was RHD as well. It is a Citroën 5 HP, though. These were often yellow, but not always; depending on the years they were also available in blue, brown, dark red and red. I think this is a 1924/25 5 HP Torpédo 2 Places. They were sold in the UK as 7.5 HP, but then it would have had RHD. This one will have been imported later (from France, probably).
chris40 ◊ 2008-06-28 22:59	7.5 HP, but 5 CV, surely?
DynaMike ◊ 2008-06-28 23:01	Strangely enough, but Citroën used HP back then, not CV...
