While the A30 had a full chrome grill, the A35 had it painted in matching colour. Only the Mk.II A35 Van had this white painted grill. At that time the sedans were no longer being made in favour of the Mini and the A40.

Alexander ◊ 2005-10-13 13:39	Well, the model for the film was only made a couple of years ago, but the car that is referenced is definitely the one I named above. I would say that is what counts with animated vehicles. -- Last edit: 2005-10-13 13:48:37

antp ◊ 2006-01-30 17:19	I was going to watch it as soon as possible, you were faster than me
Richard Davies ◊ 2007-09-04 22:56	I read that a real A35 van was painted up for publicity purposes.
shiraqio67 ◊ 2008-08-08 22:06	They did two. One was dolled up with dents and rust while the other was just covered in anti pesto stickers. the second one was sold without the stickers on ebay a few months ago for about £7000 which is a lot for an Austin A35 van (especially one without mot!!!)
Star Wars Fanatic ◊ 2008-12-26 23:52	The main picture should really be changed as it is a promotional shot.
IRT_BMT_IND ◊ 2008-12-27 00:24	I have the DVD and can get a better shot.

scaryclown101 ◊ 2009-12-13 04:36	No it's 1962 for crying out loud.
scaryclown101 ◊ 2009-12-13 04:36	But I think Its pretty cool!
Trainboy12 ◊ 2009-12-29 15:26	It should get 5 stars, because it is used in nearly all of the movie.
130rapid ◊ 2009-12-29 17:49	Nick Park's movies are great. Does somebody remember all extra equipment parts of Wallace A35? I laughed till choke when the airbag deployed at end of chase. -- Last edit: 2009-12-29 17:53:35
antp ◊ 2009-12-30 12:45	Trainboy12 wrote It should get 5 stars, because it is used in nearly all of the movie. That's the 4-star rating. 5 is when the car is part of the plot, or a famous symbol.
