Anyone managed to identify any of the cars in the Guinnes 'domino topple' advert?
Number 3 has a distinctly BMC Farina look -- the bonnet shape suggests Riley/Wolseley? Difficult to get a good look and there's lots of motion blur.

You're right about the Wolseley/Riley, but can't really tell the others.
In order of falling,
No1 is probably a Fiat 125
No2 ?? Looks to have a peculiar ridged roofline
No3 ?? But bigger than the Farina
No4 is the Wolseley
No5 is a pickup - no idea.
No6 looks like a 60's Fiat, though I can't put a finger on the model - maybe a 600 or Multipla
I think from the style of the ad and the cars, it's almost certainly filmed in Italy and the cars were probably Italian (the BMC Farinas were not uncommon in 60s Italy and two - both rotten! - can be seen falling off the transporter in the Italian Job).
If you want to watch it and pause it (with no motion blur!) online, it's at
(visit4info has pretty well every advert you can think of).

You're right -- number 4, not number 3.
Did some more Googling after I posted -- the ad was filmed in South America, and a little searching turned up this
