Thank you, thats what i had in mind but needed to hear it from someone else.
Blooming lovely car.
Talking of Poirot, one of our cars was used in the movie 'Peril at End house'.
It was the red Cheverolet. sadly not in our ownership any more. My dad imported it from south america and restored it. its still as shiny as the day it left the paint shop and that was 25 years ago and it gets used for wedding etc still. 1931!! cant see many of the modern day chevys doing that

Without being too boring this is incorrect. The car in Jeeves and Wooster is earlier than a Mk11 (which is from the thirties). I believe that the car is a very early International (an earlier 1 1/2)from the late twenties. Lovely car.
Campion did drive a Lagonda, an M45, as did Captain Hastings from Poirot. Lagonda`s from the twenties do have some similarity with Bentleys but they had smaller engines and were nowhere near as quick! (Hastings` was either a s/charged two litre or a three litre).
And in a final effort to confirm anorak status the picture above is of a late thirties Aston Martin 15/98 (or two litre).

Quite right. But, for tull bragging right on pre-war Astons on pistonheads, why does the 15/98 have a green AMOC badge????
And no, its not to match the colour scheme...

I`m not a member of the AMOC (fine institution though it is) so I don`t really know. Is it something to do with being pre-DB?

Sorry old son, Hastings drove a Bentley I'm afraid. But utterly gorgeous just the same!
There are several differnt colours of Amoc badge. The red one is for all mebers. The green one is for thbose who race cars- hence that car has, at some poine been raced in AMOC events, and has the "right" to wear that badge. There are also blue and yellow ones, for (I think) winners of different races.

I can`t remember exactly without watching an episode but seem to remember it was a 3-litre so earlier than an M45.
