The VW factory, as we know, was revived by the British after the second world war and run by the army after British car makers rejected the design/'free' factory (don't forget retrospection has perfect vision). The MoD ordered a batch because a) they needed them, b) British manufacturers were also struggling to meet orders after the war due to war damage etc and c) they were running the factory and needed the orders to keep it going.

They're filming something, but what?

Yes, and he has just been to Italy and back with no MoT or Tax and put it all on the YouTube. I wonder if the local plod will go round and nick him and confiscate the car as he would not have been insured either.

Conversation between the driver and (what I think is a) female passenger?

64 apparently.

Interesting that the Healy is on whitewalls. Nice early P1800 sneaking away in the background too.

I think they were filming a publicity film for Porsche. That is one of teh earliest cars that was tested by Porsche in 1948. It is what is known as a Gmünd Coupé. 

There is a car in the Porsche Museum that still wears that plate
