The position of the screen wiper and the hood bag detail are unusual which points to it being the same car. We can only imagine the laughter and language that would have accompanied Hattie Jacques getting into the car, that's before the large dog jumped in!
I'm sure you're right Malcolm. In the film the two protagonists (who are eloping in the A7) stop at a petrol station and, from a distance, witness a strikingly similar car (Hattie's) being pulled over by the police - this alerts them to the fact that their car is being searched for, and they slip away on a side road. It's over in 30 seconds and I have little doubt it's the same car with a few bits moved about or re-painted for the scene. Including the radiator cap being turned to 90 degrees!
