Kessler's Staff Car

The BBC's brilliant SECRET ARMY dramatised the lives of the brave men and women who ran the resistance evasion lines, which assisted Allied aircrews to escape from German occupied countries into neutral countries like Spain or Switzerland, during the Second World War

Kessler's Staff Car

Postby Kriekmann on Mon Apr 21, 2008 9:10 am

In series 3 : episode "Revenge": In the opening of the episode Kessler pays a visit to the Reich Kommisar Bruxelles. He arrives in a superb Black Staff Car. Does anyone know the make of the car? I think in series 2 a smaller version of the Car makes a couple of appearances.

Oh yes, yippe I've found it...

Have a look at this page for a pic of the car that Kessler rides in during the opening scene of episode three of the third season of 'Secret Army'...

Sarah,

Thanks for that. In series 2 Kessler is seen riding in what looks like a smaller Version of the Opel Kapitan : would it be the Opel Kadett?
The episodes are 20 : "Trapped" and 23 "Weekend".It would appear that a lot of good research was done in the series to get the vehicles right : Opel "Blitz" 3D series trucks, Phanomen Granit Ambulances, Kubelwagons, Diamler Dingo armoured cars and of course the ubiquitious "Jeep" to name a few.
I had a feeling that Kessler's car was an Opel as you can see the badge on the boot on a couple of occasions but it was the "marque" that stumped me.
Thanks again.
