If...... (1968, Malcolm McDowell)
Filmed largely in and near Cheltenham; "there is a brief glimpse of a Cheltenham District Bristol Lodekka FLF when two of the schoolboys enter a cafe." (thanks Alan Sinclair)
I Know Where I'm Going! (1945, Wendy Hiller, Roger Livesey)
Filmed partly on the Scottish island of Mull, although Roger Livesey never went there, because at the time of filming he was starring in the West End of London. He is represented in the location footage by a double! There is a short scene where a group goes hunting travelling on this small 1930s bus, variously suggested as a Bedford or a Morris - these are the clearest views:
