I don't know if it's been mentioned here before but I just saw a terrific
British comedy circa 1962 and in full colour called "The Fast Lady". It
starred among others a portly James Robertson Justice driving a Rolls Royce,
a very young Julie Christie playing his daughter, driving a bright red Mini,
a sleasy car salesman Leslie Phillips trying his best to sell the current
BMC and other products including a red MGA 1600 MK2, and his fellow boarder
Stanley Baxter who buys a late twenties Bentley Speed Six which is called
"The fast Lady" to impress Christie, and which he is attempting to learn
how to drive so he can pass his learner's. Lots of sustained road scenes and
lots of cars in full colour. At the very end a white Hundred with red
interior driven by a lovely lady pulls over and gives Leslie Phillips a ride
back to town.
Truly a delightful British comedy in the best sense.
