What car is this

[MikeH]

My wife was watching a 2009 remake of “The Prisoner”. This car was in episode 2.
Anyone know what it is?

Alpine 64 got it. It’s a Škoda Felicia 1100, about a 1966-1968 model, made in what was then communist Czechoslovakia, hence why it would be used in a spy film. Pronounced “shko-daa” the word oddly enough means “that’s too bad” or “it’s a shame” in the Czech language (Wifetm is Czech)... it’s the sort of thing you say after you see your small child fall down “awww... škoda!” The car got the name because that was the family name of the gent that started the company.

Thanks for the history lesson, all interesting facts I'd never heard before....

Thanks. I was thinking it was some kind of Morris.
Looking it up, now that I know what I’m looking for, I find it’s a 1959 to 1964 production.
