This car was driven
by Leslie Banks in the 1934 film The
Fire Raisers, directed by Michael
Powell.
I've noticed that, although the number
10 on the petrol tank is still there,
the numbers on both sides of the bodywork
have been crudely painted over, as
has the Union Flag on the driver's
side. The glass for the passengers
fly screen is cracked, and there is
a large printed sticker of some kind
at the top edge of the firewall/scuttle,
again on the passenger's side.
The use of the car by Leslie Banks,
playing a Fire Assessor called Jim
Bronton, is supposed to say that he's
not rich, but he has pretensions to
wealth.
