'Thames 10cwt Personnel Carrier' [400E] There was also a 'Thames Estate Car' [400E] version with different seating, but this was rarer being more expensive, which can be identified having bumper over-riders. ![[Image: 400e0de.3315.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/0is505/400e0de.3315.jpg) -- Last edit: 2006-05-20 19:38:47 |

I read somewhere this was a Bedford Commer Dormobile. |

That is rather strange. The 'Dormobile' is a camper conversion done by 'Martin Walter' using all sorts of vans and wagons as base vehicle. The Bedford CA was well known: http://www.expeditionlandrover.info/Dormobile/pictures/rCA1.jpeg Followed by the Bedford CF: http://www.expeditionlandrover.info/Dormobile/pictures/rCF.jpeg A Commer was also available: http://www.expeditionlandrover.info/Dormobile/pictures/rCOMMER.jpeg And also one based on a Thames 400E: http://www.dormobile.org.uk/Images/detling001.jpg I found one picture of a Thames without the special roof but listed under 'Dormobile': http://www.lrfaq.org/Series/Dormobile/Brochures/index4/thames.jpg I don't know if that roof window was a conversion done by Dormobile. But the movie image hasen't even got such a window. So I guess we can keep it as it was. While I am speaking of campers ... here is a nice one: http://www.campsitesrus.i12.com/dunton_romany.jpg |

'Dormobile' was so popular at the time that it was applied to almost any van with windows even if it was not made by them. So the scriptwriters were only using a name that anyone would immediately know. |

What's that white station wagon parked beside? A Vauxhall? |

Its a Vauxhall Victor 101 Estate. |

No, they just abandoned it somewhere in the Alps, nothing else. -- Last edit: 2010-10-04 11:05:00 |

Aug/sept 62 plate. |

It belonged to David Salamone who used it as a go- karting van when he was 11, and he was 21 at the time of filming  |

If so and the plate is not a total fake, 256 DNY would fit - July-Sept 59, Glamorgan - but someone has done some deliberate camouflage of last letter. DNW was Leeds Aug/Sept 62, DNV Northants Feb-March 63. |
