Cheggers Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Wow, that was filmed in 1974 in Ealing, where I was living at the time (as a 9-year-old)...happy memories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrett Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Hey, at 1:19 a Peerless GT drives by on the other side of the road. Class! Edit to add: The library funk is amazing, and I piss myself every time they say 'Brown Roger' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warren t claim Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Interestingly the following cars all seemed to be pretty powerful models, even the Escort looked like a Sport. I doubt any of them appear on a DVLA database and any curious shiter entering the reg numbers would end up shot on a tube train or similar. Here's part 1.http://www.youtube.com/redirect?q=http% ...

Shep Shepherd Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Very Sweeney-esque in places - I was expecting Regan and Carter to turn up in their Consul GT at any moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j-j Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 That was magnificent! Thanks for sharing - sometimes I wish people still spoke like that. Ditto on the Star Trek music and Shaft theme tune but God the Wah-Wah is funky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maximalist Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 The not so funky STASI version The first five minutes are enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warren t claim Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 What qualities do we think would make an excellent surveillance car in 2012? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autofive Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 strange that a CIA film was produced in London. I wonder if it was originally a police / MI5 film and simply used by CIA. I can't imagine many americans would know what a vauxhall magnum looks like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synx508 Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 AXrescuer - that's fantastic, thanks for posting a little window into the real life version of "CI5". I've eaten at the pub that they drive past near Uxbridge, it's now a pretty good Indian restaurant. I would expect MI5 to pick similarly anonymous and common cars to do this sort of work today. I suppose that would be a VAG product, thinking about it! How times have changed, only 10 years ago I'd probably have said a Ford or Vauxhall.

MrDuke Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 The one (and possibly only) thing I really like about the AshtrayVan is its complete and utter invisibility - I can park it literally anywhere and no-one ever complains or even looks at it. I suspect that if I donned a hi-vis and white helmet, and carried a clipboard, I could surveil* to my heart's content, completely undetected. Also, if the target makes an unexpected departure in their V8 SD1, I can keep up with my TURBO yo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warren t claim Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 I'm thinking of something discreet but petrol powered for quietness whilst idling and accelerating. Deffo need a big fuel tank and plenty of oddment space for stuff. Got to look not out of place anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to look not out of place anywhere. 5 series beemers, volvos and v6 mondeos are used by police for discreet follows (and armed discreet follows) in durham(the police driver training school is in durham ) although some 4x4 are used too but local council and DHSS use smaller cars and vans. MI5 - who knows, their budgets are huge, and staffed (like special branch) from the M.O.D., what do army / raf / navy use as staff cars these days? - that provide clues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
