s13a ◊ 2019-09-07 08:06	I might be wrong, but the wheels and the dashboard reminds me of an early Austin Mini. Just a speculation...
skywatcher68 ◊ 2019-09-07 09:47	Good eye! That has got to be a Mini speedometer.
Animatronixx ◊ 2019-09-07 14:04	Is "470 VRA" a real registration? I wouldn't be surprised if this is an actual promotional car and maybe not especially made for the movie. The answer to my main question "Who???"might be this: My first idea was Flewitt Coachbuilders of Birmingham, but it wasn't them. Does anyone recognize that badge or has a good idea what it reads?
Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2019-09-07 14:12	Could it be "Kestrel"?

dsl ◊ 2019-09-07 16:32	Might have a Renault Fluoride connection??
Baube ◊ 2019-09-07 16:37	if only we could read the " Crest " in AnimatronixX's pic... (speaking of that, looks like it ends with a "L" to me ) -- Last edit: 2019-09-07 16:41:49
s13a ◊ 2019-09-07 16:43	Could it be "Restall"?? They apparently made seats for Morris Mini's (so there is some connection to that)
Baube ◊ 2019-09-07 16:44	that could be it
Animatronixx ◊ 2019-09-07 17:43	Aww! That's all my hopes first brushed and cleaned, but ultimately spit into the sink and rinsed with water. Yeah, "Restall" makes sense, as it's placed on the rear of the bench (thumbnail No. 13). Nevertheless, good job, everyone! This is still the most tube-shaped toothpaste tube promo vehicle (mind the gap!) I've seen so far.

Animatronixx ◊ 2019-09-07 18:02	Still worth a try, though?! Either way round.
johnfromstaffs ◊ 2019-09-07 18:17	Unfortunately, while my teeth remain in excellent condition, my hair is gone beyond recall.
skywatcher68 ◊ 2019-09-08 02:40	AnimatronixX wrote They missed an opportunity by not placing headlights in the caps. "Your teeth could be as bright as these lights!"

They would have looked very stupid. Vitapointe was a preparation for ladies’ hair! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PqHtjLTFppg -- Last edit: 2019-09-08 08:47:13
skywatcher68 ◊ 2019-09-08 20:49	That's what I get for not reading the whole thread.

johnfromstaffs ◊ 2019-09-10 12:10	However, when faced with a large, rare, fillet steak my lack of hair presents no problem, whereas lack of teeth would.
