That's not a 13/60, that's a 1200 - the 13/60 has the Vitesse style upswept 'eyebrows' over the headlamps matching the red line on @Hobby's right-hand screenshot

Someone put the red line there to show what they thought the bonnet line was!

 

I was wondering if there were any other rear engined cars that it could be? The sides look too upright as well for the 500 judging by the photos .

 I know that's not a 1360 , but the 1360 has a very obvious grill that the pictured cad does not . also

the 1360 did not appear until 1967 and the film is from 1964 .

 

 Triumph 1360 .

 That looks like the 2007 reintroduction style that does have noticeable curved sides , but the

original shape was very vertical .

 

 Like this .

One for the hive mind! Over on NGRM someone posted this and we started discussing the approaching car at 0.16s. Some are convinced it's a Fiat 500 but, to me, it doesn't look right (person driving it must be a stick insect, the curve of the windscreen doesn't curve like the Fiat and the two bulges just below the bonnet don't exist on a 500). I recon it's something bigger. So, any ideas?

 

Simca?

   Could be the 600 very similar.

 No , the 1100 has a prominent grille .

 

 

 It was decided , on another forum, that this car had in fact got a couple of large spotlights on the front, with the grill seen behind.

The late 1100s had the grill extending right under the headlamps, too.

Fiat, but a 600, or possibly an early 850, I reckon.

That's an earlier one, at a guess, a 1200. I was going to suggest a 12/50 as 2-tone paint was extra on a 1200, but something doesn't look quite right about that one. The chrome headlamp bezels look larger and squarer than I remember. Aftermarket replacements?

Other possibilities Daf 33 or 44, NSU Prinz 4, Renault 8, Simca 1000.

12/50s all came with a Weathershield sliding roof.

Those are both the same type of Fiat 500, but from different angles. The close up emphasises the lower width.

The new one is quite different with the bonnet opening cutting through at headlight height.

Th red line on the doubled-up picture outlines the bonnet opening, nothing more.
