This is the only other view of it in the film - very blurry but the plate appears to be 'UKF721H' which corresponds to a 1970 Land Rover. However, not sure if this is actually registered to this specific car.

We've identified this vehicle using the details you provided LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER OTHERS 1970 Registration number: UKF721H Body type: Light Utility 4X4 Colour: Green Date of first registration: January 1970 Apparently has had 20 owners, a colour change from blue to green in 2004. In 2006 it failed its MOT on 17 counts plus 3 advisories, which I'm guessing would require a big strip-down rebuild. Now has S3 front as new thumbs and as I said above S3 sills and 82+ mirrors, which may show that the rebuild was fairly total into an S3 lookalike. But the plate trail seems fairly solid, so I think we can accept it is a 1970 S2a with extensive cosmetic surgery,
