TV cars

[ETCHY]

What's the cars you remember most off the telly/were your favourite's?

For me, Jim Rockfords gold Firebird (I still fancy doing a reverse J turn like he did but might look a dick doing it in a Picanto )  & the Mk1 Granada's/Consuls off the Sweeney spring readily to mind.

I liked the Saints Volvo P1800 in which he could outrun E type Jags and the like...

[sierraman]

Eddie Shoestrings Cortina Mk3 Estate. 

[Rovorsche]

Went to see this at the cinema several times and really wanted an American V8 cos it was sooo fast and really handled well.

[SillyBilly]

Frank Cannon's Lincoln Continental Mark IV.

I can’t believe you have never done a J turn!

Yeah I know, to be honest it's one of those things I should have done when I had my Capri. I drove it like a dick most of the time so should have!?

Remember?

I bloody well own it!

[brownnova]

I bloody loved Kitt from Knight Rider

That and I loved watching re runs of the Avengers for John Steeds cars! 

[ETCHY]

Steeds Jag is cool !

Another vote for Jack Regan's Consul GT, and his later MK2 Granny 2.8iS.

Also, the Bodie & Doyle Capri 3.0S and Escort RS2000 combo had a big effect on the young me, along with Dave Starsky's be-striped Gran Torino.

Also, as in my avatar. Not the most desirable, or in the best condition, but the appearance, (and subsequent premature death) of that dilapidated Zephyr kicked off what would be one of my all-time favourite programmes.

 

[Timewaster]

Yet I never owned a Capri.

Or a MK2 Escort for that matter.

My fav was the fall guy's GMC pickup truck. Huge air, big bounces.

Yep the Professionals was cool. Do you remember the Dolly Sprint, TR7 & SD1 used in the early ones?

Yes, I remember the Dolly sprint, and I'm sure Bodie was driving around in a brown Rover P6 in the early episodes (pretty sure it was also Frank Haskins' Rover in the Sweeney). Cowley's car was a pre-launch SD1 in the early episodes and I remember a Zakspeed X-pack kitted MK2 Capri featuring too.

Simply has to be top of the list for me.

Still remember bits of the car chase in Condorman from 1981, I was 6...

Yes! Watching as an adult is painful though, they bent hundreds of 68-70 Chargers making that series. In the end they resorted to re-using old clips and even miniature remote control cars as they were finding it hard to get new stock - sellers were wary of selling to the company by then as they knew their pride and joy was going to end up banana shaped.

Eddie Shoestring's Hillman Hunter.  Brace yourselves for the car chase of a lifetime.

Click on the link if you want to see it.  For some reason Youtube won't allow the vid to be embedded.  Short vid of Steed's Jag coupe.  Faster than a racing car.  Tally ho old bean.

 According to Patrick McNee an absolute pig to drive with the big wheels.

[Volksy]

More film than TV .. but this!

 

[adw1977]

Onslow's Cortina in Keeping Up Appearances

[Asimo]

Geoffrey Palmer's Volvo in Butterflies.  Just so respectable!  And the boyfriends Mk1 Granada. But not Wendy Craigs poxy m**i.

[Dick Cheeseburger]

It's a toss up between the Minis and the Harrington Legionnaire. 

Actually, I'll take the HL please.

DJH 180K, the yellow 1972 Volvo 145 De Luxe from The Good Life. The same car featured in the first series of Survivors, as it was owned by a member of the BBC's production team who worked on both series
