1958 Wolseley 6/90 Series III
A Hard Day's Night (1964)
RILEY2.6 AUNo worries! I have to admit that I would not paint my car in Black and Chartreuse Yellow, although it had been used in the 1920s on other makes. Also, as a Riley owner I would really love to find a Two-Point-Six or a Pathfinder in a film; not likely though!:(

Sunbar UKNo disrespect was intended about Riley's use of two-tone paintwork, 'RILEY2.6'. :/
I probably associated it with some of the more "memorable or unusual" colour combinations used by some manufactuurers and thought fashionable at the time.

RILEY2.6 AUOK, be nice about the two-tone paint work, I have a Riley Two-Point-Six in two tone grey. BMC called two tone \'duotone\'
By the way, the Two-Point-Six was also available in one colour if desired.
The lack of Two-Point-Six chrome on the side of this car and on the boot suggests a Six-Ninety, but the lack of Six-Ninety chrome on the side is also a problem. The boot script is correct for a very late Wolseley Six-Ninety Series III.
The Two-Point-Six number plate lamp / reverse lamp surround was different from the Six-Ninety unit, but the shot is too far out of focus to tell here.

1958 Wolseley 6/90 Series III
A Hard Day's Night (1964)
chris40 ENTo deal with some of the complications above ... I too think it's a Wolseley 6/90. It's possibly six years old and it's not impossible that a damaged bumper has been replaced with a Riley one that would fit. Furthermore, I think your CD plate (yes, Sunbar, before the introduction of special diplomatic registrations small CD plates were the norm, but they were a bit of a nonsense because you could go into an accessory shop in the Edgware Road and buy one) seems to be actually a (possibly self-adhesive) white figure 6, replacing one damaged or missing on a dingy plate with separate silver-grey characters which I think I can discern.

Sunbar UKAgreed.... and there are no CD plates (unless could it be a small CD plate). CD plates I think were common even in the 1960s. I cannot be sure but I think I remember small oval CD plates but not this shape. This looks like a crest or badge.

However, there are probably some odd features seen on the car. It doesn't only look as though a number plate has been removed but that its intensionally blank with what looks like a small shield or badge?

It implies to me that, by law, the car does not have to be registered in the UK for some reason.

1958 Wolseley 6/90 Series III
A Hard Day's Night (1964)
Sunbar UKDoes anybody recognise the style of number-plate?

Could it be a 1960s diplomatic car, a blank plate with a crest? If so its possibly an export version or modified-upgraded, but it does appear to be a Wolseley with a Riley bumper as indicated by DynaMike...

Possibly a Wolseley is more likely for diplomatic use without the Riley's (garish) two-tone paintwork and they thought the Riley's bumpers looked stronger for London use?

Riley2.6 AUI am not sure that this is in fact a Riley Two-Point-Six. It has a Riley Pathfinder / Riley Two-Point-Six rear bumper, but it does not have the chrome trim all along the side of the car and the boot badge is in the wrong place too.

I don't really think it's acceptable in the sense that these are genuine screenshots of great films, they ruin the pictures.

Shows very good by the wheel covers. Exactly like the ones on my MKII.
Car body confirms. It is even the 1959 -1960 Lowline model.

A Hard Day's Night (1964)
Sunbar UKThank you Alexander and datsunZ.

I've been able to read a little more about Ogle cars. I didn't realise David Ogle actually died as a result of an accident in the same car. But I do remember the name of Tom Karen who was the designer following David Ogle's death and responsible for the work with Reliant cars.

Thanks again. :)

Thanks datsunZ, I've been trying to find more about this car. Ogle are mainly design and prototyping consulants in Letchworth UK about 25 miles from where I live. They did some work for the company I worked for about 10 years ago and I recommended them based on the work I remembered they did in the 1960s based on the Mini and Reliant cars. Is your source of information from the internet?

A Hard Day's Night (1964) antp BENote that in Paint Shop Pro (and probably others) it is easier, you do not have to cut/paste: select an area, invert the selection (so everything except that area is selected), then the brighness/contrast change is only applied to that part.
