Appears that it could have fins over the rear wheels .....as Aston Martin cooperated with making the movie there coud be some coonection there...but doesnot look like an Aston to me. -- Last edit: 2006-04-11 14:29:14

It was registered NOY 1 (visible painted on the radiator in the left thumbnail in Sunbar's post) and belonged to Cliff Davis who raced it at several circuits in the UK during 1955. It still exists and was present at the Goodwood Revival meeting in 2006 in a static display.
