I used to enjoy Man About the House and I'd completely forgotten those opening titles. There is actually a short thread dedicated to it: Chummy in "Man About the House" series.

For those with even longer memories, Hugh Burden drove a Seven in the ITV series The Mind of Mr. J. G. Reeder

A 1932 AH Tourer, according to the Internet Movie Cars Database

Found this clip of an American Austin circa 1930 on Youtube:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cg9prP22qHA

Admittedly slightly annoying - but does anyone know what it's from?

It's a 1930 movie Remote Control  - a comedy/adventure starring William Haines and Mary Doran.

A late Ruby, DTA 436, makes a brief appearance in the opening scene from the 1958 Alec Guinness film The Horse's Mouth:

A Youtube video described as Melbourne, Australia, in the 1930s, my guess it's more likely late 1920s; lots of American cars, but a couple of Sevens seen briefly:

Lovely- looks like St Kilda Road heading into the City of Melbourne back when the traffic was manageable.

Yes, all Melbourne, mostly on St Kilda road & Swanston street, in Melbourne CBD. the parklands are along the Yarra River south bank leading up to Government House.

looking at the fashions, suggests mid 30's

nice to see
