I watched about 4 minutes of it. Considering the cast, it was bl--dy awful. Presumably the "Nazis" knew they were trying to catch a 1950 Royce in the MG, in 1940.

70s and first half of the 80s were common with such approximations ...
Another example, why a Kübelwagen in desert colors in 1940 ?

1. The budget didn't allow for repainting it.
2. The schedule didn't allow for repainting it.
3. The owner didn't give permission to repaint it.
4. It was cheaper than other Kübelwagens in the correct colours.
5. The director didn't care.
6. Any combination of the above.
