AK 1271 was built with 16" wheels and would probably carried an F or G registration prefix. This car has the special order 15" wheels. Also the instrument bezels are black not chrome.  My car is AK 1500  ('93) and bezels are chrome, but has the same 3 wiper set up, which was originally matt black. I guess it's one of the unlisted specifications.

So that must mean that the K plate on the car is a made up one for the film, as you can't make a car appear newer than it is, OR, it's not AK1271.
