Here is one I hadn't heard of before... While finding this movie online helping my brother in Japan, I started watching... much to my surprise a Sunbeam Tiger...

I have the film on my hard drive, but I just tried watching it at the link you provided and it plays fine there.

I suppose the featured appearance of an Alpine in Jacques Tati's 70mm masterpiece "Playtime" is old news? See an Alpine in color! In 70mm!

It's a black alpine with red interior, driven by a woman. It's stuck in traffic in the turnaround near the end of the film, when Tati makes a large-scale visual joke that the turnaround is a giant merry-go-round.

The Alpine gets a few nice shots because the female driver is Tati's wife at the time, proud of the car he bought for her.

And he should have bought a car for her: at the time, he was openly having an affair on-set with the film's female star, who happened to be the Tati character's love interest in the film.

Thanks for posting this great part of history. It certainly makes the point that you would not want a horn ring in this case!

Thanks.

Yeah, I noticed that too. Interesting that they kept the cross-bar, though!

I think that footage is part of "Tiger Sharpening its Claws." SS sells it on a compilation tape (DVD too?) which includes several other Rootes factory films.
