Does this E*R monogram mean it's a Royal Mail motorcycle? -- Last edit: 2015-04-02 17:50:45 |

On the search for that location /vehicle_802848-Standard-Vanguard-1950.html I've found a Wiki-page about this movie: /vehicle_802848-Standard-Vanguard-1950.html At "Goofs" it's written, that the "policemen" wear 1960ies British police-uniforms - but helmets with George VI-crests (since 8 years outdated at the time of filming) |

strange, for me, looks like a german bike something as DKW or TWN |

It wouldn't be surprising: this series was filmed in Germany/Denmark, as far as I remember. |

The plate matches a London issue, "allocated in blocks" July 59 to July 60. So if fake (which seems probable), it's a pretty good attempt. E*R should be the Royal Mail logo, but I don't think they did their bikes like this (although open to better info). |

^ Its actually not a bad representation of the 'EIIR' Royal Mail logo although not exact, for a copy it matches quite well for style and location. 1965 BSA Bantam Royal Mail with 'EIIR' logo on fuel tank |

.... however it doesn't appear to be a BSA Bantam but a reasonable substitute bike with the movie's approximation of the Royal Mail livery. |
