Ooooooooooooooooooh... that's our GORGEOUS MG Canelas, based on MG TD mechanics but built on a bespoke chassis and custom bodywork! Portugal had such AWESOME cars back in the 50s...

The background is interesting. The policemen wear kepis, and the tan-coloured uniform of the gendarmerie in French Colonial countries. I doubt if this is Guadaloupe or Martinique, so is the venue in North Africa?
