johnfromstaffs ◊ 2023-05-05 00:28	That is a 58/59 London plate, too late for an E series Vauxhall which died in 1957. I think it’s a Wyvern, no overriders.
humungus ◊ 2023-05-05 00:39	A 58/59 plate would be too late for the movie, too, since it came out in 1954. Would VLD make more sense? Austin A40, incidentally, is listed here: /vehicle_1784806-Austin-A40-Sports.html
johnfromstaffs ◊ 2023-05-05 09:05	No, VLD is also 58/59.
johnfromstaffs ◊ 2023-05-05 09:10	It might be M, or N, indicating 51/52. LD and LO were both London C C, and roughly kept pace with each other.
