• Features in the film 'The Mummy Returns' • Initially used as an Embassy car and then requisitioned by MI5 • A rare sight on UK roads First registered June 1937, this imposing Packard limousine is attractively finished in two-tone silver over blue, with cream cloth upholstery for the passenger compartment and black leather for the chauffeur's.

It is powered by a 5.2-litre straight-eight engine which drives via a three-speed manual gearbox.

Initially the Packard served as an embassy car in London from 1937 to 1939 before being requisitioned by MI5 for the war effort, during which it reputedly served at the code-breaking Government Code & Cypher School at Bletchley Park.

More recently this Packard has appeared on TV and in films, the most notable being The Mummy Returns (2001) in which it had a starring role.

It has since served as a wedding car.

With hydraulic brakes, geared steering, independent suspension and a synchromesh gearbox, it is said to be relatively easy to drive.
