Your car in a movie

[Doctormop]

Hyacinth's neighbour had a five-door Metro.  Cannon and Ball had a three-door dressed as a police car in The Boys In Blue, and Metros were the basic panda cars on The Bill for a while.  Also I think Stephanie Turner drove a red one in Juliet Bravo.

X300, isn't that M's car in Spectre?  The one that gets T-boned in an alley?

Think Stephanie Turnip drove a red Mini 1000 Eddy, seem to remember its windscreen getting smashed by a juvenile delinquent in an early episode, her replacement, Anna Carteret, (Insp Kate Longton) had a Metro, followed by a maestro in later episodes, and yes, I am ashamed that I remember this.

One of the taxi drivers in Rita, Sue etc is my mate Dennis, with whom I worked for a few years (long after the movie).  He also played an Asian shopkeeper in Waterloo Road, with a shitey yellow Renault Trafic.  His actual Hyundai Pony could be seen parked outside "his" shop next to the van!

I remember reading about that scene in PC,  can't remember what the show was but they got the owners club involved and dressed up all the cars as series 1's by swapping grilles and bumpers round.

and a 2 door Austin 1100 mk3 in Hazell,  my car was this colour in 1978 and lived down south is could be the same car (unlikely).

My Renault 9 appears in the opening titles of The Winter Guest because it wouldn't start when they asked me to move it.

[AlabamaShrimp]

Mk2 fiestas? Nothing specific I'm sure they've been in the back of loads. Real challenge will be the Frontera..

Brown P6es always leave a lot of dead bodies and total devastation in their wake.

Just like in real life.

cannot think of anything featuring an X300

I think there was a Mel Gibson film where he played the father of a kidnap victim and in that he drove an X300

[Eddie Honda]

Same colour - greenstone - in Quadrophenia

 

[Peter C]

from the little that i have seen of both films,

 

each of which i turned off cos it WOZ NASTY i would suggest that the director is in need of professional help..

Nasty? Yes.

 

Unique concept? Yes.

 

Art? Up to you to decide.

Apparently my allegro was in a movie or a TV show or something.

 

BL production line scene, so it must have been a pretty good show.

 

I guess it was 'The Rotters' Club' from 2005. I watched it at the time. BBC2 I think...

[NorfolkNWeigh]

In some of the footage it was identical to my old C70 T5 down to the wheels...

 

Knackered ADO16 in Clockwise, the second most famous of John Cleese's ADO16 destroying roles.

 

Speaking of Ronin, how about the V70R which I must admit was a bit shit compared to the S8...

 

 

Can't think of anything with a Disco TD5 in...

You've obviously never experienced the delights of an SAS TV show called Ultimate Force , Phil Mitchell's brother, you know the one the ginger bird that was shagging the Prime Minister used to beat up, is the leader of the British Army and they win wars every week. Ably assisted by lots of TD5 Discos in pre and post facelift flavours.

The actual fireball is almost certainly a Jaguar XJ40. They're highly explosive cars in films.

 

This is probably the only time one has appeared in a film without exploding into a fireball:

Yes! That's the one, thanks Vin.

My dad's actual Morris Minor had a film role but not one you're likely to have seen - it features prominently in a short 1950s-set film called 'Count Your Blessings' made by a local amateur film group about 20 years ago. Myself and my family also appear briefly as ramblers, having received a phone call that very morning asking if we would like to be extras and dressed in fifties gear from our own wardrobes! I was about 8 or 9 at the time and I remember how tedious it was - all we had to do was walk from the village hall around the corner out of shot, about 10 or 20 seconds, but it took hours just to film that one scene with all the retakes.

Quantum of solace has a few jaguar S types and XJ's lurking in the background.

Quite a few RRC's in movies but I think one of the most infamous is

 

 

and my old one was the same colour, minus the blood splatters.

 

 

Or my current one from the correct angle

Red car facing the beach near the centre of shot. When they washed the fake snow off it was the cleanest the car had ever been.

'77 Brooklands Green Dolly 1300 in Ashes to Ashes. Much like my own car it's missing it's nose badge!

 

 

Not keen on the wing mirrors though...

My 323i was in a TV series called Looking after Jo Jo. It was set in Edinburgh in the early 80s. It was actually meant to be set in 1982 but the BBC weren't worried by the fact that my E30 wasn't launched in the UK until 1983.

 

I spent a very nice day in 1997 with Robert Carlisle and others. The character Danny was the driver of my car. The actor was from the Scottish soap at the time (Take the High Road IIRC)

 

It wore false plates for the day and although I was there all day, the car was only on screen for about 25seconds in the final cut.

 

A very profitable day as well for me
