Sunbar ◊ 2020-05-15 21:36	Looks like a Bentley winged ‘B’ mascot in the thumbnail, n'est pas?
Sunbar ◊ 2020-05-15 21:54	Those instruments are probably borrowed from something else (would a 40s-50s Bentley have a rev counter?) and look 1960s plus with fluorescent orange pointers. Speedometer has MPH/KPH dual markings and not recognisably Smiths. The top of the windscreen also looks too curved compared with the external view. Studio mock-up for interior scenes? -- Last edit: 2020-05-15 21:59:07
johnfromstaffs ◊ 2020-05-15 22:21	The instruments are definitely non standard. There is no proof that the Winged B is attached to the subject vehicle, only to whatever is in the thumb. At some point I shall go into the motor house, sit in my Bentley, and compare the view of the interior woodwork. -- Last edit: 2020-05-15 22:23:54
Baube ◊ 2020-05-15 22:22	hope so.. if not a 78mph turn could make the Sprouse twins easier to differentiate... -- Last edit: 2020-05-15 22:22:43
johnfromstaffs ◊ 2020-05-15 22:25	I have no idea who the Sprouse twins are, but closing those curtains might help.
Baube ◊ 2020-05-15 22:27	one of the twins is seating in the middle in the main pic ( long-haired guy ) his twin brother is also an actor -- Last edit: 2020-05-15 22:27:31

Baube ◊ 2020-05-15 22:32	i have the strange feeling the speedometer and the other gauges are coming from a GM truck from the 90's ( Suburban, Tahoe.. ) found it http://gtcarlot.com/colors/car/47635201-3.html i think they just built a dashboard from scratch for the interior shots -- Last edit: 2020-05-15 22:42:40

johnfromstaffs ◊ 2020-05-15 23:05	So, in summary, the interior has no connection with the exterior, and the exterior does not show any detail required to name or date the car, beyond the parameters I indicated at the top of the posts.
