I believe the time period for the show is around 1953-54, guess they
couldn't
find a nice TR2.
Given that film production companies do *sometimes* spend
reasonable time searching for cars that exactly match the time period for the
storyline, I guess there are some that don't have too many
'automotively-minded' reseachers to get the production absolutely right. I've
met a good few of the latter group in recent years. Equally, there are quite a
lot of people (in the UK anyway) who won't make their cars available for a
shoot and so the production people have to go with the best that's available,
even if it doesn't quite 'fit' for the enthusiast.
