[edit] A Shot In the Dark - Movies with Minis in them
I saw you added 'A Shot in the Dark' to the list of movies with minis in them - good catch! I'd forgotten about that one. One of the members of my local Mini club read it and said:
"BTW, did you know the Mini Peter Sellers drove belonged to director Blake Edwards? The car still exists and was the subject of a feature article in MiniWorld (or Mini Magazine?) some years ago. Apparently driving the Mini in the film was what got Sellers hooked on Minis in his personal life."
Are you sure about the detail you added about the car belonging to Sellers or could your memory be off a bit?
It's possible you are both right - and this guy is thinking of an earlier Pink Panther movie...but I kinda think he's right. I didn't want to RV you because you may have more solid evidence. SteveBaker 03:06, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
Hmmm - well the car is a Radford Mini De'Ville...but the story is *way* confusing:
http://members.aol.com/cotsmm/cots3_7.html
"Few cars achieved as much fame in the 60's as Peter Sellers wicker painted Mini Cooper used in the Pink Panther film "A Shot in the Dark". Sellers commissioned this car from the Radford company in 1964, specifying every conceivable extra and built to a standard usually reserved for Rolls Royce motor cars. Sellers used the car as his personal transport for a number of years then he sent it to film director Blake Edwards as a gift."
OK - so the car was owned by Sellers when the filming was going on - but then given to Edwards later? That doesn't sound like Edwards was the one who hooked Sellers on Minis?
...but then this web site:
http://www.radfordmini.free-online.co.uk/films.htm
"The film sees Sellers play the bungling Inspector Jacques Clouseau and driving A Radford Mini de Ville with wicker-work sides. There are quite a few good shots of the car although it seems that three differant cars were used all being L.H.D.
The Radford Mini de Ville that was used for the majority of the filming still exists. it was shipped back from America in 1994 and now resides in the 'Car of the Stars Museum' Cumbria, England."
So now there are three cars? One of which was Seller's personal car with all the extras? Seems kinda unlikely. Urgh! I hate facts! SteveBaker 04:02, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
To clarify all of the above, I imported this car to the UK from California in 1993 and thoroughly researched it's history at that time before carrying out a restoration to original specification. Peter Sellers had been hooked on coachbuilt Mini conversions a couple of years before the film was shot. He suggested to director Blake Edwards that Clouseau should have one in the film and the production company ordered a left drive French specification Mini Cooper from Radford. This car was used for the majority of the British studio scenes.
A second unit went on location to France to shoot a short sequence, containing a naked Clouseau and Maria (employing doubles), showing the Mini driving from the nudist camp to the traffic jam in Paris, using a similar looking Mini 850 in black with wicker side panels. However, from memory, it did not feature the fog/spot lamps, sunroof or roof aerial which the Radford sported. I believe that this car was one of a special batch ordered by a Paris dealer from BMC. The traffic jam in the Paris square was filmed in the UK and utilised the first car again.
The scenes with dialogue inside the car and filmed through the Mini's windscreen appear to involve the use of a third car, as the just visible rear seat is a totally different pattern to the first car and this could well be Peter's own Radford. Being a right drive car I assume the film was reversed to rectify this anomaly and the occupants' hair styles do seem slightly altered to dilute the mirroring effect.
When shooting finished, the company was quickly wound up and Blake Edwards shipped the first car to Los Angeles and used it for a few months before passing it to director Billy Wilder who, with Blake, was working for the Mirisch Corporation. Over the next three years, various members of the Mirisch family had use of the car before finally being part-exchanged for a Jaguar at Hollywood Sportscars. The new buyer owned it until just before I acquired it. In a letter in my possession, Blake Edwards recalls crossing a street in LA some years later, seeing the Radford and flagging down the driver saying " Hey, that's my car from "Shot in the Dark"!. The owner remembered this occasion too.
As correctly stated the car was bought from me by the "Cars of the Stars" Museum but their website misdescribes the car as being one of Peter Seller's Radfords. Its use in the film was inspired by him and he certainly drove it but it was whisked away to the US as soon as the film was completed.
The film car appears to have been a rush job conversion by Radford as the donor car was finished in Fiesta Yellow and the black repaint covered only the external panels. In the final scene when Herbert Lom is seen planting a bomb under the bonnet (hood), this is apparent as the inner wings are clearly visible in pale yellow. I am sure Peter's cars would have been detailed to a better standard and to a higher specification.

[edit] Morris Minor 1928
Nice to see your article on the 1928 Morris Minor. It looks good. I see from your user page that you're interested in old cars. Do you know anything about Hotchkiss? Adrian Robson 12:00, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
- You're doing well with Hotchkiss! There are some nice pictures of an early car here http://www.dragoneclassics.com/CarPages/1912_hotchkiss_55_h.htm . The engine is marked "Moteur Type AD". Some months ago, I tried to get the owner to allow use of a picture but I don't think I ever got any reply. Adrian Robson 11:30, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Triumph 1800 Roadster + British Cars Task Force
Hello,
Browsing recent automotive articles I have come across your great article on the Triumph, and I thought it would be a very good candidate for being featured in Template:DYK. What is important is that it contains a really nice picture of the vehicle. A small problem is that there is a fair amount of background surrounding the car, so when resized to the tiny 100x100 DYK format, the car gets lost. As this is your photo, I did not want to do any changes to it, but perhaps you might consider uploading a cropped version for the purpose of DYK (if you'd like to keep the original one in the article)?
I would also like to ask whether you would be interested in joining the proposed British Cars Task Force - for details, see WikiProject Automobiles talk page.
Regards,
Bravada, talk - 20:20, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
- Hello again!
- Thanks for everything! The new pic (really nice!) has been added to the DYK nomination and I have (hopefully) fixed the TF descriptions. I hope you will find it OK to join now :D

[edit] veteran 1900 => 1905
Per the change in various places that veteran includes cars produced until 1905, could you make sure that the autos previously in Category:Brass auto stubs and which were made from 1900-1905 get sorted to {{Veteran-auto-stub}}? (I don't really have an opinion on the matter, it'd just be nice to have things consistent) (I went ahead and made all the text in the other templates and categories consistent, but there's the 181 brass articles to sort through...) --Interiot 10:05, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ford SAF
Malcolma, thanks a lot for taking care of the Ford SAF article. I will be grateful if you could state what sources you were using when expanding this article. If you speak German, you might also want to take a look at this page - it provides some more information on the commercial vehicle side of the business. Regards, Bravada, talk - 14:46, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
- Hello again and thanks for your work on the Ford SAF article! I have added the reference tags to the Beaulieu tags by default to all paragraphs, as well as done some copyediting stuff. As concerns references, it would be good if you could use Wikipedia:Citation templates - you can find examples in the Talbot Tagora article, which is relatively well-referenced as it underwent scrutinized reviews by "citation specialists" before it got featured. The other part of the trick are the <ref> tags, but I think you won't have problems with using those.
- I am bothering you with all that as it is important to mark which parts of the article come from where. Even when you create an article from scratch and only use one source, some other people might later add another things and then if you all just list your sources at the bottom of the page (which would be marvellous anyway, as most people don't even bother), one does not know what information comes from where and therefore it is hard to check the references. I generally mark entire paragraphs when most of the information can be found in the sources I cite or when it would be hard to point to specific bits without corrupting the integrity of the text, and to some specific fragments when just one bit of info comes from another source.
- As concerns my edits unrelated to referening, I have altered the style a bit to read more "encyclopedic", and also to make it in line with other articles. I would like to kindly ask you to check for factual accuracy (whether I haven't mixed something up), as well as whether the information contained in the paragraphs can really be found in the book you cited. If not, please strike the bits (use the <s>....</s> tags) that cannot be referenced from the book and we will try to find a source for that. I also still have the German article which gives more perspective on the commercial vehicle side of business - if you read German, you caqn find it here. Thanks again!

[edit] More Simca stuff
Hi Malcolma! I just wanted to tell you that I have started a section on talk:Simca to discuss and coordinate efforts regarding all Simca-related articles! Do take a look, and also continue to contribute your great stuff to all those articles that need them so desperately. You might also consider helping to procure free pictures for the articles that need them. Thanks! Bravada, talk - 06:03, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
- Hello again! I am writing in the hope of talking you into yet another venture. I know I owe you the German Ford thing, but somehow I can't get away from the Simca fixation. I thought it would be good to improve the Simca article itself, and even found a nice writeup on histomobile.com (see the article's reference section), but I am not that well-versed in pre-war and 40s cars, so I was wondering whether you would consider contributing another great automotive history piece. Backed by your extensive knowledge (and the Bealieu book) you would probably have a better understanding of how it all places in the general automobile history (I can barely tell early Fiat models from each other). I can pick it up from the late 1950s onwards. Thanks for considering that! Bravada, talk - 15:21, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
- PS. I just saw you have created an article on the Lux-Sport! Now I am embarassed not to have started it myself :( I guess I can only make up for that by dropping a few lines myself...
-
- Thanks! By Lux-Sport I meant the car you can find under the PZInz L-S title (quite wrong, actually, as it should be PZInż) - but now I see you have little to do with the article :D I looked at the Rover P3 - I wanted to make a DYK out of it, but I can't find a catchy factoid to build upon :( Anyway, looking forward to your Simca contributions. Bravada, talk - 20:04, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
- PS. Of course there would be a redirect - when moving an article, it is automatically created. It's just that article names in general should refer to some actual beings/entities.

[edit] Armstrong Siddeley Sapphire 346 transmission
Hi Malcoma, I was pleased to find the Armstrong Siddeley Sapphire page on the wiki. The article brought back wonderful memories from when my father ownned two long-wheelbase limousine variants for wedding-car hire. I spent countless hours polishing and valeting them to earn pocket money, so I am familiar with almost every square inch of them, and that's a lot of square inches! The reason that I am contacting you is that I noticed that you made an edit concerning the transmission options of the 346. One of our cars had the "Wilson" pre-select gearbox whereas the other had a 4-speed manual collumn-change gearbox, an option not mentioned in the article. I shall make an edit to that effect, but as my memory is a bit sketchy regarding details, I would be grateful if you could verify my changes.
Many thanks=Red Sunset 19:29, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
- The wording of the paragraph relating to the limousine gave me the impression that the only transmission option available to the limousine was the "Wilson" gearbox. I had noticed the prior mention of a manual gearbox but that didn't seem to apply to the later limousine paragraph. Hope I don't appear to be nit-picking. Please revert the edit if you think best.

Hi, thanks for your message! I've often looked at it too, and decided, after coming across a list of UK car plants, to act this time. Yes, good idea to add stats fron the beginning of the industry, I wonder if there is a better way of doing the graphs to make them more compact. The National Statistics source that I used goes back to 1977, but I ran out of patience adding them all!

[edit] Mini in The Italian Job (2003)
Re: The edit summary for your revert in Mini. Actually, there was a red and white classic Mini in the 2003 remake of The Italian Job - Charlize Theron drives it in the early part of the movie and there is an implication that her evident love of the car is the inspiration for using modern MINI's to recover the gold later on. But I agree with your revert for other reasons. SteveBaker 11:16, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Morris Major
Hello, Malcolm A. I gave the Morris Major a mention in the Morris Minor article a few months ago hoping someone might be prompted to give the thing an article of its own. The Morris Major was an Australian built Wolseley 1500 / Rile 1.5 sort of a car in the early 1960s with fins and a squared off front, and employing the 1622 cc engine which in Europe fetched up in the A60/Oxford and siblings. Which is roughly what I know, courtesy of a half forgotten page in the Observers' Book of Cars from round about 1961. But you looked as though you just might be the one to have the combination of knowledge and access to sources and wiki-curiosity to ... um ... do the thing properly. Well, a person can ask. Success.

[edit] Sunbeam Alpine
22/2/08 Hello Malcolm, sorry mate but your recent editions of the Sunbeam Alpine page are incorrect. You are right in saying that the Alpines were derived from the Saloon MK11A and MK111 models but Sunbeam Talbot named them as the Alpine MK1 and the Alpine MK3. Don't ask me why but that's how it was. This anomoly was previously in the text that you have taken out. The car shown is an Alpine MK1, I know because it is my actual car. It is definately NOT a MK3 as there are subtle differences to the exterior and interior, as well as the engine being different. Please check this out at the official STAR website if you wish, the link is on the same page.
Thought I'd do it this way as you're email isn't registered. But feel free to email me back if you want to discuss it further. I won't "undo" the edits, I'll let you re-edit them back. Cheers Bill —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nqtraderman (talk • contribs) 15:11, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:MG_1300_1970.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:MG_1300_1970.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
- On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
