It could be couldn't it. The rear seat is Cooper and although the bonnet badge is a Morris one, I reckon it is probably a Cooper type which is slightly less wide. If the film was made in 1964, the car wouldn't have been terribly old and probably hadn't been messed about with TOO much?

Yes could be - the Austin Cooper grille has visible vertical slats behind, can't see any on this one. Body colour looks pale so possibly smoke grey or tweed grey...?

Meanwhile, here's Mike Yarwood in a Mini.... :lol:

Dont go blaming Tickford....
Perhaps a stylist may own up, but ultimately some clown signed off the cost to own it!

In my day in Newport we would have sorted out the bonnet shut lines for sure! (pure mini...)
