The classic car from the British Bafta-winning comedy film Genevieve has gone on display to mark the 70th anniversary of its release.<br />
<br />
The 1904 Darracq named Genevieve was driven by young barrister Alan McKim and his wife Wendy, who were played by John Gregson and Dinah Sheridan, in the 1953 film.<br />
<br />
The vehicle had been discovered among piles of junk at an East London estate shortly after World War Two and bought for £25.<br />
<br />
It was completely restored before appearing in the film also starring Kenneth More and Kay Kendall.<br />
<br />
The Darracq is being showcased at the National Motor Museum at Beaulieu, Hants.
