i never use number plates, but according to the date letter it should be a 1974 car. It is very odd to see a suffix plate spoiling the look of a late 1930s car. Wonder why it happened? No doubt someone will look it up and tell us what it is. -- Last edit: 2016-08-02 10:58:13 |

Nothing found. |

Perhaps the car had a personalised registration that the owner didn't want shown, and the film crew grabbed a random pair of plates to replace the real ones. EDIT: I think this was filmed in Ireland, which would explain number plate oddities. -- Last edit: 2016-08-02 12:00:03 |

Registration TKG 460N Make RENAULT Model 16 Description TL Same as /vehicle_890330-Rolls-Royce-25-30-hp-GAN5-1937.html - or its twin?? Some differences in detail, eg wheels, no supplementary boot, small front lighting, but these are easily altered in a restoration. |

I cannot agree with your supposition, chalk and cheese. 1) Shape of windscreen. 2) Subject has swept tail with bootlid, referenced link is a D-back with external boot and curved under panels behind bumper. 3) Front wings appear to have a swage line in the subject car, none in the link. 4) Position of door handles is higher in the subject, above the horizontal swage running the length of the car. None of these could be altered during a restoration without massive change to the pressed steel. 5) The position of the bonnet ventilator is totally different. It looks more 25/30 than Wraith, but I cannot go nap on a coachbuilder. Of course, it could always be the genuine numberplate with a false car behind it. -- Last edit: 2016-08-02 18:12:03 |

So the only logical conclusion is that 2 different RR owners chose colour schemes based on a half-eaten Mars bar. |

It may just be that both cars are owned by the same hire company. I am also aware of at least one Bentley painted in those colours. Rolls-Royce Sand and Sable. http://pics.imcdb.org/10516/bentpainting.jpg -- Last edit: 2016-08-02 17:04:12 |

Awareness obtained by simply looking out of the window??? |

Assuming the garage door is open. |

http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C535839 This is a Series 3, proving that the vogue for sand over sable lasted for at least ten years. I have the complete history of my car, including the factory build sheets. It was originally "Docker's Special Tan", Docker's being a paint manufacturer. It was refinished in Black in 1954 (!) and refinished again in 1958 in Sand over Sable, and has had at least two further repaints, the sand having migrated to a more subdued tone. |

This is a 25/30 Wraith from 1938/9 with a Limousine body |

I've got it. It's WLB32. A Thrupp and Maberly Limousine that is in the Kilgarvan Motor Museum in Ireland. |

The motorcar in question appears twice in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwhnlV089qY. First, between the time 10:55 and 11:22 and secondly between 1:17:08 and 1:18:33. |
