The James Bond Alpine in the movie Dr, No was a Series I. In addition, the
"LaSalle" hearse used by the bad guys was transformed into a Humber hearse
when it went over the cliff!
In the original Dr No book by Ian Fleming, the Alpine was a '53-54 Alpine.

probably filmed in 61/62 so I would Guess that it's a 61or 62car. that
would make it a Series II Could be wrong there...
Absolutely not a Series IV or V however. Did that model have the early
series Fins? Should also be blue as well.
