datsunZ 2006-12-26 22:31	I had also thought at 1962 Morris(AUS)Freeway,but had a different body(copy that of 1961 Morris Oxford V/VI"'Farina-style",but had also 6 cyl.engines)
samyuk 2006-12-26 22:42	yes, you are right, its an Australian Morris Major series II, made from 1959 to 1964, sharing the same basic body structure and engine as the Wolesley 1500 and Riley 1.5

antp 2006-12-26 23:48	Funny that this "old" car is from 1959, as the movie is set in 1960 and that the 1958 Customline is supposed to be brand new compared to this one -- Last edit: 2006-12-27 11:54:13
