Just watched.

Unread post by Gibbo2286 »

An old film on the Legend channel, dramatised story of a mail train robbery with all the good old British actors and not a foreign car in sight, where did all the beautiful cars go?
Austin Westminster Van Den Plas 4 litre Princess, several Minis, Jaguars and a few Ford Zephyrs/Zodiacs/Cortinas, a Corsair Austin Gypsies, Morris J4 vans , even a Bentley.
Story ended in a scrapyard where in the pile there was one solitary Peugeot 404 (I think) :)

I dip into the Internet Movie Car Database from time to time, identifies the cars and other vehicles in films/tv/videos.

Here is the crop of images pulled out by IMCDB for the film you watched...
The comments link that film to later work on car chases in Bullitt, and the Sweeney.
