What Kind of Car Do the Countess and Ilona drive?


I'm thinking it's an Imperia or a Minerva or some other Belgian make but I'm not having much luck finding out. I'm kicking myself for returning the DVD without listening to the director's commentary. The car figures prominently and he probably mentions what kind it is.

I believe it's a vintage Bristol.

Yes, it's a 1953-1955 Bristol 403.

Re-rent this for the special features if you haven't already. They answer several of the mysteries that most viewers complain about, and confirm the unequivocal intentions of the wrighters and director.
