Is nobody going to comment on the stellar performance of the little Ruby that starred in last night's Channel 4 film 'The Little Stranger' (EAS 893)?

It looked marvelous and sounded as smooth as silk.

I was chatting to Steve Hodgson on a ZOOM call last night when he stopped and said "that's a Ruby on the TV"!

I presume the very same...

The Ruby was the star of an otherwise fairly depressing film!

The Ruby fairly thundered along and without doubt the best part of the film...

I haven't seen the film yet, but the Ruby EAS 893 is recorded on DVLA and the A7 chassis database as a 1935 ARQ ruby. But on all the still shots I can find of the car (admittedly none very detailed) It appears that the swage line does not extend to the rear of the car a la ARR ruby; which is strange.

 It would be interesting to see some front shots or interior.

That's certainly an ARR in Nick's screen shot.
