Quadrophenia

(1979, Phil Daniels, Leslie Ash, Sting)

Set in the 1960s, it's clear this was a limited budget movie. Vehicles in the foreground of the street scenes are accurate to the period - in the background are many cars from the 1970s! Most notably this authentic police car heels over on a corner, while passing behind is a Southdown Bristol VRTSL3 in the later National Bus Company livery. It carries advertising for Southdown's Coastliner service:

In the same sequence is a police Bedford SB/Duple Midland carrying registration DYO850:
