jplemoine ◊ 2006-04-02 00:01	Hispano-Suiza? (bouchon de réservoir...)
Junkman ◊ 2006-04-03 01:53	I think it is a Talbot 110.
pilou ◊ 2006-04-03 11:07	The hood mascot is the winged Bentley " B".A late thirties Bentley Derby 3.5 or 4.5 litre drophead coupe but coachwork ?? .It is peculiar in that it has a divided two piece windshield and two rear top windows
Junkman ◊ 2006-04-04 11:45	The car does have a one-piece windscreen. What appears to be a divider is in fact a rod mounted inside to which the rear view mirror is attached. The coachwork is most likely by Park Ward on a 1936 Bentley Derby Chassis.
juergensmuda ◊ 2006-04-08 19:48	I could check it out in the books, but cannot read the registration. What I already foundout is, that the first digit can't be a "D", "O" or "B"... if I would know the complete registartion, I could tell you which model it is, who bodied it, who owned it, etc...
antp ◊ 2006-04-08 20:23	maybe "Q"? Well, there are only 26 possibilities -- Last edit: 2006-04-08 20:23:58
DAF555 ◊ 2006-04-08 21:05	I´ll try to get a better capture of the license plate.
DAF555 ◊ 2006-04-09 00:31	I couldn´t get any better than this, and that doesn´t solve the first letter. Maybe it´s running on false plates? Here are some more captures of the car:
juergensmuda ◊ 2006-04-16 07:13	Sorry, no such reg.-number found in the files for any Derby-Bentley. It will probably only used during the filming or was changed only for a short period. Officially, there wa never any Derby-bentley registered long enough with this number that the reg found it's way into the books or worksfiles -- Last edit: 2006-04-16 07:29:33

jmw_48 ◊ 2008-07-13 13:09	According to the RROC this is 1936 Bentley 4 1/4 B159GP H J Mulliner DHC and is in California
robgeelen2 ◊ 2010-10-30 15:22	It is, I agree, and it is for sale. It is a one-off body, specifically designed for Duncan McMartin, original registration number DGN300. -- Last edit: 2010-10-30 15:24:39
dsl ◊ 2011-06-02 18:10	DGN 300 plate issued Sept-Oct 36 which agrees with last 2 entries.
