Humber Sceptre, 1963+. What the hell kind of British plate is that?? |

Fake UK plate. it actually is a left-hand-drive, probably sold in Italy (I never saw one, so it was rare). The taillights are those of a Lancia Flaminia GT coupé Touring... |

Looks more like a fake West German plate. .gif ":)") |

There is nothing "German" at this plate either, just black letters on white ground.  And it's a car, which never was available in Germany. |

It' a fake GB plate. Background of this scene: After the football game Italy-England some "tifosi" are distroing an English Lady's car. The car was really destroid for the movie! ![[Image: vlcsnap2010011010h55m00.6905.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/0is513/vlcsnap2010011010h55m00.6905.jpg) ![[Image: vlcsnap2010010916h41m05.5094.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/0is9/vlcsnap2010010916h41m05.5094.jpg) -- Last edit: 2010-01-10 19:49:12 |

Level Zero of intelligence ![[Image: pfff.gif]](http://maxfsl.perso.cegetel.net/pfff.gif "http://maxfsl.perso.cegetel.net/pfff.gif") ... worse than animals (sorry for them by this comparison )I know it's only cinema in this case... |

We don't have an Italian registered Super Minx on the site, so I'll use this entry. Have discovered that when Touring of Milan started assembly of the Sunbeam Venezia (145 made), they also apparently started assembling Super Minxes, sometime about 1963-65. I've found a tiny photo in a book of the Venezia line with in the background some Super Minx bodyshells with S1 or S2 cabin. Anyone know anything more? Jumping several steps, is it possible they also assembled Sceptres? If so could this be one, and does it explain why it has the Lancia Touring rear lights? |

Most likely this is just a Hillman Super Minx assembled in Italy by Carrozzeria Touring, I am not aware that the same bodywork ever assembled the Sceptre |
