Onscreen for a few seconds, as if it was meant to be seen. A bit out of place for these streets - maybe the director's car slipped in as an Easter egg??

Looks like a Bentley.

Choices in 1954, MkVI Standard Steel Saloon or R-type Standard Steel saloon.

I don’t think it is a coachbuilt car.

Could it be an Alvis TA 21 https://alvisarchive.com/1950-1967-the-three-litre/the-ta21/ ? ...or is that too far fetched?

No, I think it could be.

1 I can’t see the crease down the centre of the front wings.
2 I can’t see the small air intake grilles below the headlights.
3 I can’t see the roof mounted wireless aerial.
4 The rear wheel spats look more like an Alvis.

Well spotted.

Good call - I had a hunch the grille might be narrower than a Bentley should look, but ignored it.
