Tv star cars.

I was wondering if anyone on here own's or has own'd a car or have known about the existence off one that has appeard in a t.v series. I know shows like The Sweeney and The Professionals have been covered time and time again but what about other shows however weak the link?

I used to own a Chevette that was in Minder, it was still a piece of shit though.

Years ago I went to look at an FB Victor that had allegedly been in the film 'Absolute Beginners'. Didn't buy it tho', so meh...

Two blokes I used to work for had a used-car lot; they supplied a Capri and a Cortina for Brookside in about 1986. I think that's as close as I get...

My Nissan Sunny was used as the main character car in the third instalment of the Red Riding Trilogy a couple of years back.

 

 

and my Triumph 1300 had a quite a bit of screen time in an episode of Heartbeat.

I had a cavalier (G28 XNC) previously owned by Phil Redmond's production company which apparently appeared in various background shots in the show but never watched it so can't say for sure

(It was a silver blue 4 door saloon in the unlikely event anyone remembers seeing it)

Mash, that's awesome... almost as awesome as red riding itself!

Bear with me for this one... I used to work with this chap, Dennis... turns out he's an actor, and has been in some high-profile stuff. He played an Asian shopkeeper in one episode of Waterloo Road, and parked outside the shop, beside the yellow Renault Trafic that was his character's van, was his car. 1995 Hyundai Pony 3-door, in green. Truly a shite-TV moment!

Superb stuff this. I did'nt see Red Riding but i've read the books......that Sunny looks just right in that scene. You should have bought that Victor me thinks.
