Looks like a Delaunay-Belleville from around 1906. Hope someone can identify it from the plate. |

It appears to be C158 which has been transferred to a modern Mercedes-Benz. (C158 also does not appear in 2004-5 London to Brighton runs.) -- Last edit: 2010-05-27 11:59:52 |

This particular vehicle is featured in what evidently gave the movie its alternate title. It is treated most unkindly throughout until it is actually totalled, so it's perhaps a replica of some kind or made for movie. As a proper Python should be, Terry J. was a trifle mad, but I don't think he'd destroy an actual vintage automobile. Mr. Toad later crashes another car, but the wreck of that one is not shown.

This was already the most funky looking of the bunch to me - this would probably confirm it's MFM. Is this the one that Mr. Toad steals and lands in jail for? |

No, I think this is his own car. He goes to jail later for stealing (and instantly crashing) what Wiki identifies as a 1904 Berliet HP40 Tourer. |

I support the possibility that this is a mfm replica, on the grounds that the proportions of the thing do not match those of most brass age cars. The wheels are too small and too thick, the radiator, while resembling that of a Delaunay Belleville, is too large, as is the engine compartment. W. O. Bentley on the D-B; “Sound, but not resounding.” |

For comparison with the thumbnail picture above, in consideration of whether or not the subject vehicle is mfm. I know what I think.![[Image: img_0746.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10516/23/img_0746.jpg) By the way, this is NOT a Morgan. -- Last edit: 2023-05-06 13:04:12 |

It is absolutely a car made specifically for the movie. Based on a Land Rover series 2, designed and constructed by the special effects department at Shepperton Studios in 1995, and according to the vehicle supplier for the film “unbelievably heavy - it weighed tonnes”. |
