Gamer ◊ 2025-07-16 13:55	That bad?
johnfromstaffs ◊ 2025-07-16 14:00	Well, you look at it and see what you think. The boot lid on the Alvis is narrower when you compare against the width of the subject car.

johnfromstaffs ◊ 2025-07-16 15:18	Thanks for that, dsl. Reasoning: as previous concerning boot lid opening, position of petrol filler, mainly the likelihood of encountering a left hand drive Alvis 3litre in Sweden (or wherever) in 1983. Plus the fact that one M-B 170S has already been spotted in this film, which I had missed because I was trying to find out how many lhd Alvis 3litre saloons were built! -- Last edit: 2025-09-02 19:53:35 (dsl)
