Driven by Wooster. Jeeves' bowler hat turns into a low rise top hat in one shot during the chase.

That doesn’t look like an Alvis speedometer.

1934 Alvis Speed 20 dashboard.

I wouldn't take the speedometer as evidence that the car is not a Alvis.

Making a replica speedometer that could be rigged to display whatever speed you wanted would be much easier than trying to film the car's real dashboard.

One for IMDb's Goofs section then. :D

No, I was taking it as evidence that American film companies view their audiences as dolts.

For my money, this whole movie serves as the evidence of that, given that they threw out most of P.G. Wodehouse's wit and replaced it with a generic espionage plot, with an insulting black stereotype tagging along, to boot.

The speedometer is that of a 1935 Pontiac.

I thought that it looked fairly depressing. Morris had a period of putting the minor instruments in the speedometer at about the same time in the 30s.

Nice. As I said, one for the Goofs section on IMDb as the movie suggests it belongs to the Alvis.

As an ex-Alvis employee I try to do my best, they are paying part of my pension. At least the Alvis Speed Eagle looks unmessed about.
