"Poet's Pub" (1949) has some nice footage of MT 7688 at 17 mins 30 sec onwards and in the obligatory car chase from about 1h 4mins.

There's also a Seven in yet another car chase, also from around 1h 4min, in "Doctor in the House" (1954)

There was a shot of a salon driving across the Thames in the Big freeze on BBC 4 recently.

Don’t know if anyone else saw it but there is a 7 in the “mummy returns” in London. Destroyed by the bus Sad  but there was no starting handle so I assume no engine.

That brings back memories - and the car is still around according to DVLA.
