With a 4-door body and this trim, it could be a 1972 1100 or 1300 MkIII only sold for a few months there or even a Spanish-made Austin de Luxe with a 998cc engine and sold in Denmark in 1975. Nevertheless, from what I know, both had different grilles, but the shape of the inner rear view mirror makes me think it's most probably a de Luxe. -- Last edit: 2008-07-14 21:13:38
DAF555 ◊ 2008-07-14 23:57	Wasn´t this type of grille also on the Austin America? Not suggesting that this is one. The filming was done in Århus and it´s supposed to take place in the sixties so the car is correctly numbered with licenseplates beginning with XB belonging to this area up till about 1968 before the system was computerized. Århus area was among the last ones to keep their specific area code. So both the XB plates would be fake, but probably the plates beginning with EB belongs to this car. This would probably make it a 1975 Austin de Luxe as rpcm suggests. But I´m not all that good on danish licenses to be certain.

However http://www.aronline.co.uk/blogs/2011/07/19/bmc-11001300-danish-variations/ says all UK 4 doors stopped being imported after 1972. Therefore nothing better to suggest than the de Luxe which was 4 door.
