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)
