I know it probably isn't, but this looks a little bit like a 1919 Wolseley: http://car-from-uk.com/ebay/carphotos/full/ebay145939309530423.jpg Maybe the British folk know it better? Could be any of over 500 defunct British makes... |

I'm much too young. Maybe Daimler or Humber as totally random ideas with no real reason to propose them??? |

Now that jfs is back, maybe he knows it... |

I haven’t been anywhere, I’m still in hospital, and working entirely from memory. |

Bloody hell! Another flare-up? |

I hope that things are close to being resolved, but the treatment of antibiotics resistant bacteria is a lengthy process and it will take whatever time is needed. I think that radiator isn’t kosher, by the way, but my drugs may be confusing me. -- Last edit: 2018-01-19 00:34:40 |

I think I may have found this car. It's in the collection of Jim Boland, one of if not the largest veteran car collections in Ireland (where the movie was filmed) Changed a bit in over fifty years but the general shape fits: Link to "scontent.fham2-1.fna.fbcdn.net" Says 1913 Wolseley on the spare. |

Gamer, I can’t see any reason to argue with that. BTW, I had an ECG yesterday, the full works, and if no other problems occur have been given a bill of fitness for the next twelve months. The British NHS receives much criticism and many moans, mainly caused by lack of money, but never from me. What they have done for me since Sept 2017 is beyond rubies. |

Then 16/20 Tourer, chassis 18400? --> https://www.bonhams.com/auctions/17263/lot/421/ |

No idea if it's a 16/20 or not, but it won't be chassis 18400 in a 1966 film apparently made in Ireland - "It is believed that the car was exported new to Australia where it was bodied by Cox's Motor Bodies of Buderim, Queensland, whose plaque is still affixed to it. Various Australian VCC stickers testify to enthusiastic use in that country as recently as the late 1990s." |

Any differences look fairly minor, good find Gamer! The WI 913 registration fooled me for a few minutes however. |

This is a 1914 Wolseley 16/20, Car No. 22397, registered EI 398. It was in Denis Lucey's museum in Killarney from 80's to it's closure in early 2000's. From the caption used in the museum: "The car was used and driven by James Mason in a film called The Blue Max". I don't know where the car is now. (Jim Boland's car, now owned by Val Mills, is in fact car 18400, which as indicated earlier would have been in Australia in the 1960's) |
