Default Chase scene from 'Robbery'

I've never actually seen this entire movie, but this wicked chase featuring an MK 2 makes me want to. I wrote a post about it for the HP, but you can watch this clip below. Hope you enjoy it!

I was hoping someone would identify it. I should have just guessed wrong and someone would likely have set me straight, ha ha! Is it some kind of old Daimler or something?

Yeah, I think I saw the Daimler "D" in the steering wheel. I did quick a check, but nothing came up that was even remotely close.
That scene where they were hauling the guy out of the back seat into the ambulance was something else _ like who cares about the chauffer right ???
Heaven forbid if they forgot that red blanket _ what was that all about ?
Some odd British policy when dealing with emergencies ?
The first thing that they would do here in Canada and the US is put a neck brace on.

Not many cars you can kerb a front wheel like that and it still drives.
Well at least around the next corner or maybe further.

Thanks! I knew someone would come through with the answer. I don't think I've ever seen one of these before.

Yeah, that was a pretty hard hit! Probably needs an alignment now. Ha ha!

I was thinking they were using it to cover up the fact that he had a briefcase handcuffed to him? And yeah, they just straight ignore the chauffer, ha ha! Briefcase guy will likely just get another when he replaces the car.
