'J' reg is August 1970 to July 1971. |

A check on the registration shows it's an Austin Sprite - (when the Healey agreement expired. |

The rarest version with just 1022 produced. |

Birmingham plates so probably factory registered. White front sidelights without orange segment very unusual - could be final run-out feature. |

Austin instead of A-H also likely from chrome screen pillars - Oct 70+ = final 3 months of A-H plus final 6 months as just Austin |

I have checked the DVLA which says VOP 436J is a Green Austin Healey Sprite so the Index/VRM/Number Plate is wrong for the car and was probably only used for the film. But looking at images on line the front grill is wrong for a Sprite but looks like a MG Midget |
