When I first saw this film, as a child, I far preferred the ‘old’ car.
Still do 
I knew a little. Just did a quick Google search and a video about his predicament turned up. I won’t post it here as it is way off topic. But he managed to fare a little better at the end owing to money raised so that is a good thing.
It caused me a tear or two I can tell you. He was a fine man.
His girlie?

I came across this Vintage 1957/58? Zephyr Mark II (206E) on my travels.
In 1956, the Consul, Zephyr, and Zodiac were all restyled. The six-cylinder cars’ engines were enlarged to 2,553 cc (156 cu in), with power output correspondingly raised to 86 bhp.
The wheelbase was increased by 3 inches (76 mm) to 107 inches (2,700 mm) and the width increased to 69 inches (1,800 mm).
Top speed increased to 88 mph (142 km/h), and the fuel consumption was also improved at 28 mpg, (10 L/100 km; 23 mpg‑US).

Great times Bret, the good old “badge engineering” knowing all the spin offs is the preserve of the car nerd.

Apparently, it could be 4-cylinder 1960 Ford Consul Mk2 De Luxe.
The Zephyr was a 6 cylinder.
Ford and Vauxhall did a lot of multi badging, so did Leyland
