That character, I believe, was played by Fred Astaire, and if it was an
E-type, it had to be a pre-production model, because the movie was
released in 1959. I think it was meant to look like a C- or D-type.
Headrest fairing, right-hand drive, and large-mouth air intake, as I
recall (it's been more than a decade since I've seen the movie on tape).
Strange, but I don't remember all the details of the race. The most
persistent image in the movie, for me, is the Coke bottle attached to
the window shade and the radiotelegraph key set.
Cheers.
