chris40 ◊ 2008-10-05 10:47	It does to me, too. Hasn't the same LG45 appeared elsewhere in made-in-Hollywood films with 'British' settings?

I expect there was more than one Square Four out there, although dear Wiki reminds us that the model was redesigned during 1936 to re-emerge in 1937 as the 997cc machine. Accordingly,if a Square Four 1000, earliest year would be 1937.
