Excellent work Trig! Just a couple of pedant notes: the tatty Granada is a Consul (different grille; but looks like our shade of blue ) and the Ford Cargo is really a D-Series.

WOW!!! A Volga estate!!! Right hand drive, too! Rare as the proverbial snow flake in Hades, the Elstree studios had two blue ones, that were used in "The Champions" and other 1960's TV series made there. Given the paucity of their availability I suspect that this might be one of them, albeit re-sprayed. Great to see one! Thanks, mate!!

[Pedant mode] You do realise there's no such thing as an MGB GT Roadster? It's either a GT (steel roof, with hatchback) or a Roadster (cloth roof, proper, if tiny, boot). [/Pedant mode] Otherwise, GR899 stuff! Keep it up! I'm loving it!

That is the spit of my Mum's first Renault 20 - PKH 479W. Same colour too. Except my Dad painted the bottom half in 'sea green' hammered finish hammerite. It used to leave a trail of black smoke as you went along from all the oil it was burning.

Mini with strange plate (Irish?) and a unknown American car by Trigger's Retro Road Tests!, on Flickr

The American car looks like a 1973/4 Buick Electra; the "strange plates" will be diplomatic issue, or at least mockups of same. Once again, Ambassador Trig, you are spoiling us!

February 7, 2012

Morris J4, not Sherpa.

Superb stuff - they did get through some FD Victors though. The exploding gold Ventora had me shouting NOOOO!!!

4,460 · February 7, 2012

The Skoda has the same 'strange' type of number plate as the Mini.

Another update with more photos!, still at Series 4 in 1980.

1978 Magirus-Deutz Lorry by Trigger's Retro Road Tests!, on Flickr

I do like this Maggy. It's got the small badge for the, then new, IVECO grouping on the grill.

It's essentially the drop-side version of the Fiat OM55/Iveco panel van that was around for years. Not the best picture, but one of these...

These can't of been filmed later that 1981???

IIRC that was done on purpose! The MK4 was meant to have false plates as it was going to be a car bomb but the terrorists made a mistake giving the car an inappropriate reg. Terrorists quite often make silly mistakes, for example, going to Gibraltar or not bothering to eat for a long time...

I was thinking that, surely there would be a fair smattering of X and Y plated stuff visible in the general street scene shots, but can't see anything that late. No Escort MkIII or Honda Quintets for example

Ford wouldn't of missed a trick in promoting the XR3i/2.8 Capri either.
