Here you see the problem with my copy: instead of its regular 1.66:1 format, I had a 1.33:1. The sides are cut, and the cars, specially this one, are never seen in full.

OD 9546, County Council of Devon, 1934.

The Aston Martin, but I'm no expert on these.

This http://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/december-1989/66/link-past Says it's an International, so 1934 Aston Martin International. The article in Motor Sport was written by Bill Boddy, the Editor of the magazine, who knew his subject, so hopefully this is correct.

Described here (a downloadable spreadsheet of Astons etc spotted in films) as Mk II 2/4 Seater, but this page suggests 1934 International = Mk II 2/4 Seater and vice versa.

...... but not sure if we have an overlap with the 2 convertible MkIIs in this batch which look very very very very similar.

a quick look at Sedgwick and Gillies indicates that this could be a minefield. The subject car appears to have a mesh grille, Mk IIs had plated radiator shutters.

from the clip with James Mason walking past the Rolls Royce ,getting in the Aston and leaning over to open the door for the lady,l can see the front transverse dampers.they are transverse meaning it is a Mkll.1934.not the earlier international.
l am restoring two 1934 Mklls. lucky me !

Bill Boddy’s credibility takes a knock. Unfortunately he is no longer here to defend himself, I retain the rôle merely of reporter of what I read.

Had it been a Bentley…..
