Paul's got it right, The scout car shown as Vandaleur's was a Humber Mk II (I think - the main difference between Mk I and Mk II was the engine and some small fittings). A Diamler also appears in the film. It's the open topped one seen shortly before the Irish Guards move out.
The original Diamler Mk I had a folding top. This is depicted in the Tamaya kit. The front section folds back over the rear, which then sort of slides back over the engine deck. These seem to have been removed on a regular basis, and so were not fitted on the Daimler Mk II.
Speaking from experiance, the Accurate Armour kit makes up to a reasonable representation of the Humber. Be forwarned, though, that the body is a solid chunk of resin, so you'll either be doing it with the hatches closed, or be putting your Dremmel tool to a lot of use.
