This catalogue entry records a 1927 Austin 12/4 in burgundy from the 1920s.

1920s on screen

The twenties should not look like a street filled only with cars made in that decade; older vehicles can belong in a researched setting too. Clothes intended for travel help a departure read clearly, especially when the scene includes luggage being carried from a house to a waiting car. A leisure journey can be shown through the gathering of passengers and belongings rather than relying on a long sequence of movement on the road.

Possible roles in a production

A pre-war vehicle can support a researched historical arrival, with costume and luggage helping the journey belong to the place and date of the script. Period plates and visible lettering should be checked for a pre-war street scene, especially where the camera holds on the front of a waiting vehicle. Entrances in long coats or formal clothing deserve rehearsal with the supplied vintage car, rather than expecting performers to adapt during the first take.
