Haha, very "british", this scene, like the whole movie.

Which British authority should have used Opels in that years? The whole brand Opel was unknown in the UK, like Vauxhall, Humber, Hillman and the english Fords in Germany.

Wasn't this kind of "showdown"-scene filmed in front of the castle Schloß Glücksburg in Flensburg? I remember, that in one of these German made Wallace-movies Schloß Glücksburg was disguised as a English castle.

Hmm, it's not Glücksburg, as I thought. It's similar, but not identical. Which castle? In every case it's in Northern Germany, North of the river Elbe. The architecture is typical.

The IMDB says it's Arensburg in Schleswig-Holstein.

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schloss_Ahrensburg

Auf http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edgar-Wallace-Filme sind die 4 immer wieder vorkommenden Schlösser aufgelistet
(Zitat Wikipedia: Die tatsächlichen Drehorte befanden sich aufgrund geringerer Produktionskosten jedoch meistens nicht in Großbritannien sondern in Deutschland. So dienten vor allem Straßen in Berlin und Hamburg als Kulisse für London-Szenen. Drehorte für andere Handlungsorte waren z. B. das Schloss Ahrensburg, das Schloss Herdringen, die Zitadelle Spandau und die Berliner Pfaueninsel. Die Innenaufnahmen entstanden zumeist im Studio Hamburg und in den Ateliers der Berliner CCC-Film. Für die nötige Authentizität in den Filmen sorgten oft allein Archivaufnahmen Londons, die man in die Filme einfügte.)

One very rare Polizei-Mannschaftswagen (Police personnel carrier), coachbuilt by Herbert Vidal & Co. of Hamburg-Harburg. Herbert Vidal had a brother named "Oscar" and a nephew named "Sohn" :whistle: aka. Oscar Vidal & Sohn, manufacturers of the Tempo commercial vehicles.
