1953 Riley 1½-litre RME Dance with a Stranger (1985)	The registration number is NUV 85 and the vehicle details on DVLA are: Date of Liability 01 10 1989 Date of First Registration 28 04 1953 Year of Manufacture Not Available Cylinder Capacity (cc) 1496cc Vehicle Colour BLACK This is the wrong engine size for an RMF and as far as I can find out, several months after end of production for the RMA. But I agree with johnfromStaffs that it doesn't look like an RME. Possibly an RMA built late in 1952 but not used until the following spring.	2013-04-06 12:46
1955 Sunbeam Alpine Mk.III Dance with a Stranger (1985)	The registration number is RHP 704, which according to DVLA was first registered 25 05 1955. So probably a Mk.III. -- Last edit: 2013-04-06 12:31:21	2013-04-06 12:31

1936 Pontiac De Luxe Eight Cabriolet Town on Trial (1957)	This car is RHD and the registration dates from 1936/7 so it seems likely to have been in the UK from new. Is it possible it was built in the UK? -- Last edit: 2013-01-06 21:17:43	2013-01-06 21:17
1950 AEC Regal III Town on Trial (1957)		2013-01-06 21:00
1950 AEC Regal III Town on Trial (1957)	The following message board post dating from 2001 and 2007 gives some information on this model of turntable ladder. http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/aecsociety/message/9275 It states that this is one of ten ordered from Merryweather in 1947, built on AEC Regal bus chassis and delivered to various fire services across the UK between 1949 and 1951. NPJ 750 is stated to be the second of two delivered to Surrey County Council, and to have been in use until 1971. It is also said to be preserved, but gives no more details. See also http://www.talbottrng.freeserve.co.uk/fspg/lists/tlp.html which shows the other Surrey example (NPA 250) before the start of restoration in 1999. It is not clear if the resoration was completed as NPA 250 is listed here http://firebrigadesofsurreypreservationtrust.webs.com/preservedfireengines.htm as "whereabouts unknown". -- Last edit: 2013-01-06 20:55:46	2013-01-06 20:54

1955 Thames 7cwt Van [300E] Wallace & Gromit in A Matter of Loaf and Death (2008)	There are either two 100E saloons and two 300E vans used in this film, or they change colour part way through.	2013-01-06 00:47

1953 Citroën 11 B 'Traction' Indochine (1992)	This vehicle and the BMW 502 in the same picture should be 1 star - they are just "setting the scene" and don't move and are not use by any character.	2013-01-05 23:39
1934 Austin Ten Open Road Tourer Indochine (1992)	One star as it is not used by a character. As this is a 1934+ two-seater with dickey, it is a 'Clifton' and not an 'Open Road Tourer' according to the Austin Ten Drivers Club website: http://www.austintendriversclub.com/dating10s.htm Most pre-1939 Austin Tens have been listed on imcdb as 'Austin 10/4' and not 'Austin Ten', for consistency this one should be a '10/4 Clifton'.	2013-01-05 23:28

unknown Kon-Tiki (2012)	The Dodge VK in andrepa's link has different headlamps. I would suggest this is a Canadian-built Dodge T-110 / D60. T-110 seems to be the civilian name and D60 is the military equivalent, but other examples on this site have all been listed as T-110. It may be the tipper truck version, see picture here: Link to "www.facebook.com"	2013-01-05 21:46

1973 Volkswagen Pritschenwagen [Typ 2 / T2] Auf Wiedersehen, Pet (1983-2004)	ingo wrote Faked plate. This scene takes place in the "German" building site, which was actually in England. If the plate is false, it may be that this is actually a RHD model sourced in the UK. As there is no better view of the cab I don't think it's possible to tell the difference. -- Last edit: 2012-07-29 22:15:22	2012-07-29 22:13

Auf Wiedersehen, Pet (1983-2004)	My apologies for omitting some of the episode numbers. The 2000 Land-Rover Range Rover Series II and the 1988 SAAB 900 S are both from episode 3.01. The 2000 Vauxhall Vectra MkI is from episode 3.02, not 2.02.	2012-07-29 20:48

1983 Honda CB 400 NC Superdream High Hopes (1988)	The side cover that would have had the model name on it has been replaced by one from another bike, which doesn't fit properly. "CB 400" is just visible in the second thumbnail above. The vehicle details for A921 RYU are: Date of Liability 01 11 1990 Date of First Registration 31 08 1983 Year of Manufacture 1983 Cylinder Capacity (cc) 399cc Fuel Type PETROL Vehicle Colour BLACK My understanding is that it should have two front brake disks, why there is only one I don't know.	2012-05-27 12:23
1980 Mercedes-Benz 450 SE [W116] High Hopes (1988)	In the film, the owner of this car is a secondhand car dealer, and is seen here wearing his sheepskin coat.

Morris-Commercial MRA1 Sea of Sand (1958)	Not the same as either the Chevrolet or Dodge trucks used in the film, as the headlamp shells are different from both. Possibly a genuine wreck left over from WW2? -- Last edit: 2012-05-27 11:26:48	2012-05-27 11:25

Daimler Ferret Scout Car Modified for Movie Sea of Sand (1958)	This could be intended to be a Fiat AB41, but there are many differences. Information and photos of the AB41 and other Italian armoured cars at: http://the.shadock.free.fr/Surviving_Italian_Armoured_Cars.pdf The closeup of the gun turret shows it is covered in what looks like thin metal sheeting. Possibly a Daimler Dingo with false bodywork. -- Last edit: 2012-05-27 11:00:01	2012-05-27 10:54
Dodge T-110 Sea of Sand (1958)	Information (in French) on the Canadian-built Dodge T-110 trucks, with many photos: Link to "www.asphm.com" These trucks have been modified for the film, to look like the Chevrolet 1533x2. The cab has been cut off, and the horizontal slats on the grille removed and replaced by vertical ones. -- Last edit: 2012-05-27 10:48:04	2012-05-27 10:46
1941 Chevrolet 1533x2 30 cwt Sea of Sand (1958)	These are the correct model of truck as used in WW2 by the Long Range Desert Group. From http://lrdg.hegewisch.net/lrdgvehicles.html : "The 1533x2 used by the LRDG were purpose built military modifications of the 1 ½ ton YR series Chevrolet trucks. These modifications included a special truck bed as well as modifications to cab, front grill and suspension. Further modifications were made to the trucks once they reached the LRDG machine shops. Because the trucks were being made for the British Army they were now right hand drive. The popular "water fall" grill of the civilian truck was replaced by a grill with fewer slats to allow better air flow." Presumably there were not enough genuine Chevrolets available to make the film as some of the trucks used are Dodges modified to resemble the Chevrolet.

Up in the World (1956)	Well, it's good to be appreciated. No, I haven't registered on the site before, although I have been lurking here for some time so I have a reasonable idea of what contributions should look like. I have a number of films and TV programs queued up, so I will be uploading some more soon.	2012-05-26 15:22
1955 Daimler Drophead Coupe Up in the World (1956)	After researching this further, this cannot be a 1953-55 Daimler Conquest Roadster as the Roadster did not have quarterlights. It has to be a Daimler Drophead Coupe, launched 1955. 54 built 1955-57.	2012-05-25 17:36
1948 Morris Y-Series 10cwt Up in the World (1956)	The same vehicle (registration number SML 568) is used in two roles in the film: at the beginning as Norman's boss's van (main picture), then later the same van is used by the kidnappers, disguised as a TV repairman's van.	2012-05-25 14:33
