sixcyl wrote the action occured in 1952, this 11B with squared boot doesn't exist yet in 1952

But very close. The Drummonds were murdered in August 1952, the square trunk came in the fall ;)

chris40 wrote IIRC Sir Jack Drummond actually had a Hillman Minx estate car :)


In the original case, Sir Jack Drummond and his family were in France on holiday when they stop their Hillman Minx (with UK registration NNK 686) for the night near the Dominici farm.

On morning of the 5th August 1952, Gaston Dominici's son found the bodies.

dsl SXNice to have the confirmation. Agree 7027 BY was a 1961 plate, Croydon issue. 2016-06-01 21:57
Dirty Berty ENI can put every ones minds at rest as this WAS originally my Green/white 1961 Standard 10 Companion Reg 7027 BY back in 1971. I had bought it as a cheap (£25) transport to/from work and its condition was pretty dreadful - to the extent that we called it " Dirty Berty". I worked for a company that had just taken on the old Roootes Group picture archive - and we were contacted by a French Film Company in 1972 to supply them with a picture of the MK IV Hillman Estate car NNK 686 that was being driven in 1952 by Sir Jack DRUMMOND when he and his wife and daughter were murdered as they were to make a film of it. Eventually I was asked to try and source a similar Hillman but had no luck(no web/internet in 1972!) - so rather cheekily offered "Dirty Berty" as a substitute, sending a Polaroid Photo by post to their offices in Paris( see attached picture of Polaroid I did not send). Photographers flew over to Gatwick to view the Standard in Horsham (West Sussex), took loads of photos and measurement and upon their return agreed to buy Dirty Berty for £85. They paid for the Channel Crossing and having bought the Standard a new battery (it would not hold a charge) and one new wiper blade the old thing actually made it to Paris. It was immediately driven across Paris and put on a Car transporter train down to the south of France. A free night in an Hotel and a flight back to Gatwick completed the deal. I thought that the film "L'affaire Dominici" had been banned and never released so forgot all about it. Until the Web finally revealed that the film had been made and released and that it DID star a (re-painted two tone green) "Dirty Berty". The original single rear door was turned into dummy double doors as this was vital to the plot....... Sorry everyone for causing so much confusion - but well spotted.[Image: 7027bystandardcompanion.jpg]

DidierF FR4 panneaux (à losanges "aplatis") pour la caisse : les probabilités parlent pour un AHS-2 de 41+ ou un AHS-3 de fin 44 ou un AHS-4 de 46. Le type est le même, semble-t-il. Bref, un AHS. 2015-05-23 20:39
DidierF FRCe n'est pas un MT mais un T (roues 19'', réservoir à l'avant).
Pour autant que je sache, 67+.

greybear ENIt looks very crude, not like the work of a specialist company. The registration number is that of their real vehicle, the Hillman Minx 'version break' as it is described on a French website. 2008-11-06 20:48
sixcyl FRNo , I don't see why? Could it be an aftermarket modified version from an independant body builder? 2008-11-06 19:30
bref FRAn early Peugeot 101 in my opinion 2008-11-05 20:07
greybear ENWas the fact that the Hillman had two doors important to what happened? 2008-11-05 18:03
Sunbar UKSo it appears therefore that the movie company had the rear door of the Standard modified to make it look like two rear doors of the Hillman Minx Estate in about 1951. 2008-11-05 12:33
chris40 UKIIRC Sir Jack Drummond actually had a Hillman Minx estate car :) 2008-11-05 09:00
Sunbar UKThe rear door(s) look strange. Two doors, not one?

No left-side hinges seen and the glass looks like its divided in an unusual manner?

Normally a single rear door hinged on the right.

Gag Halfrunt UKPresumably the Standard is the Drummonds' car. Even it is too young for 1952.

DynaMike wrote It does look strange, but that's just a result of the profile of the door: the lower part is slightly recessed to allow the air to get into the air intake. This Dauphine is the same colour as ours (Gris Pompadour), and also the interior is the same. But the wheels are not original, they should have been beige and whith no holes.


Optical effect , then ;)

True story of a tragedy that occured in 1952, in south of France with murder of a british family (Mr and Mrs Drummond and their daughter) ... guilty of Gaston Dominici, who was said to be the murderer, have never been assessed.

Many anachronisms with the vehicle set in this film ..most of them couldn't have existed at the moment of the story

There is an odd detail with this Dauphine. The 1st thumbanail shows us a normal openning rear door, in the 2nd thumbnail, the rear door is not well closed on its upper part, and seems to have two parts , with the rear part weld to the body ...stange :wow:
