    Heartbreaking. That car was of a far better design and quality than much of the trash being sold new in showrooms in 1961...saw another reel of a 1957 Vauxhall Victor completely rusted out and abandoned in 1963.

    At today's prices, £60,000 - 225,000. During the 1973 oil crisis I used to watch all - MkII Jaguar banger racing. Some of them had less than 50k on the clock, but were too thirsty to keep so were scrapped. Many beautiful cars reduced to wrecks. Worth a fortune now. Such is life!

    It's not a Mark IV. It is actually its prewar predecessor SS of about 1938 - a much rarer model than the Mk IV. Body design and mechanicals are mostly similar and often interchangeable. The more obvious telltale differences are the external spare wheel on the left wing and the door handles in the door panels instead of in the chrome trim. These and many other subtle differences were changed for 1939 and were then carried over to the 1945 to 1948 Mark IV models. This post-war time was also when the Jaguar stand-alone brand name came into being because they could not use the SS term because of its connotation with the war.
    Putting this film depiction into context, a 1930s or 1940s car in 1961 was just an old car, almost worthless, much superseded and extremely outdated by comfort, performance, reliability, and technological improvements. Nobody was repairing or restoring them, so the parts were generally unwanted. Then, they were not classics.
    The same relative desire exists today - if we have an economic choice, we prefer not to buy a 1990s car for all the same reasons. If anyone had a choice in 1961 they would not buy one of these or anything like them (except my brother, who had to in 1962 because he could not afford anything better).

      I paid 80 quid for it, as such 20 year old crocks then were worth nothing much. Sold it for 140 quid, thought I made a killing! The reg was HYX 974 - anyone seen it lately?

      The whole British thing of wearing a tie went right thru probably into the 80s. I mean even the butcher would wear a tie. But I did notice he had a suit jacket on while using the cutting torch. Some were "sports jackets" which look like a suit but not quite consider as dressing up. Bit like a tweed jacket. Farmers go out to shoot a few rabbits in a tweed jacket which is like a crap color suit. Many older farmers still wear them today.

    Except it's not a Jaguar Mk 4. The side mounted spare means it's a 1936 or 1937 SS Jaguar saloon. These cars were wooden framed; the 1938 and following cars were all-steel bodied with the spare in a compartment under the boot floor. Which is part of how Lyons was able to keep the costs down. I see Peter Lloyd has made a similar observation.

    That tow truck was probably ex WD. We had one in 1952, thought that was the bees knees. We never did a suspended tow like in the film, we always had a chain from the car to the truck to stop the car swinging about and if it did break loose the chain would stop it doing damage to other road users. This film brought back so many memory's, did you notice that all the tyres were bald. The bloke knew how to use a oxy.propane gun, you can tell that from the way that he didnt press the trigger down fully, the suit was just for the film.

    Been brought up in a scrap car yard in the 70s and visiting many other yards i find nothing surprising in this film even though it was made a decade or so earlier. Big old cars in the early 70s were value less as petrol was expensive and our yard cut up many jags, daimlers, humbers , mercs etc etc for scrap. Breakdown trucks run on trade plates with no MOT and we only fixed ours when it stopped or parts fell off or brake pipes burst! . Many of older generation scrap men wore ties and old suit jackets for work as i remember and this film and methods are a joy to watch i would gladly go back there NOW to these times before the f__king environment agency was thought off

    The tow truck is an Ex military Bedford. Quite collectible even in the 70's. Probably had a huge winch in the back of the bed too. Morris also built a version with the same front sheet metal . That was designed to be made quickly and cheaply by outside sources during the war.

    All I can really say is, it suffered a better fate than modern cars.
    Instead of just crushing it on the spot, they take it to pieces to see what they can use, and cut up the rest like an old steamer.
    I suppose I can kind of see why they burned out the interior, but at the same time I can’t.
    Yall could’ve sold that stuff.

    Good example of the throw away society we are today. Some stuff is junk and not worth saving, true. But "oh the rad went" buy a new one, "oh I'm tired of looking at it, buy a new one" Not just cars but anything, it leads to over consuming.

      @@lewis72 Nothing wrong with that. People put that many on in a new car and trade it in right away. Any vehicle can survive if it's taken care of, not sure about the computers in them, but the mechanicals would.

      They weren't expensive or rare at the time, those pre-war cars. Just regarded as old bangers. But that car would be over £100,000 now.
