It's a Land Rover, NOT a Jeep . Like a Jeep, but for gentlemen.

It was a prop, he was one of the great British comedians/magicians of his generation.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

^^^ this. He portrayed a bumbling magician who was always surprised that his tricks worked, and he laughed at his own jokes. I still can't help but laugh out loud when I see clips of him.

Apparently, when he was at the height of his fame in the UK he was asked to go to The States to demonstrate his act to some big-wigs. Apparently they just didn't understand the humour....
