Sid James, Ian Carmichael, Jeanette Scott and Heinkel, "Double Bunk"

This film was unlicensed and in storage for many years at Canal Plus, Paris. A few years ago I phoned them up and spoke to a very nice man who spoke English superbly and asked if it would be re-released. He said that it was very unlikely that it would ever be re-released, but about 2 years later it was, and now someone has put the Heinkel scenes on YT, enjoy:

I was the one that ripped these scenes and uploaded them after you started a discussion about this last year:

I wondered if it was you! Oh well, it's always worth another look, perhaps some new Rummers have not seen it yet!

Notice that as Sid James shuts the door with Ian Carmichael inside a parked Citroen ID11 suddenly appears. Also nice touch that Ian buys a 2nd hand Heinkel, trading in a thoroughbred Bentley sports car AND paying an extra £100.

Jonathan, I actually had you in mind when I stated that some newer members might have not seen it; you can order the DVD from Amazon. It is a gentle comedy, not a great film but quite good for lazy Sunday afternoon viewing, you can see some other intersting vehicles in it, including a trolley bus. It was mostly filmed on the Thames somewhere around Hampton Court/Teddington and I would love to know if anyone here has a better idea of the locations.
There are also good shots of George Cole/"Arthur Daley" driving possibly this same Heinkel in Blue Murder at St Trinians, and Ian C again in "I'm Alright, Jack".
From a similar era there are some nice cars and one funny one in "School For Scoundrels", the original one, with Ian C again and the ever-brilliant, ever-caddish Terry Thomas.

These old films give a lovely look at how England/London used to look and the sorts of vehicles around then.

The car is the Trojan publicity car not a Heinkel - see Trojan Archive Trust.
