Slight possiblity it could be an Austin/Morris/BMC/Leyland FG? |

Just possible to see part of the horizontal bar through a common Austin, Morris etc. grille opening, after 1967 onwards by round (not rectangular) sidelights. Impossible to say if the larger BMC or Leyland would be seen through the rain, but unless the truck is seen elsewhere in the movie I suggest Austin S200 [FG]. |
