Cars and the Stars!

[Motown]

Whats your favourite Car and Star combination?

This can be famous actors/actresses or characters from TV an Film who owned a particular car. 

 

Gene Hunts Audi Quattro from Ashes to Ashes.  Oh and Keeley Hawes might be extremely attractive but id be telling her to get her arse off the bonnet ?

Cant see the car just a lass sitting in one?

What about this one? ?

[bunglebus]

The Hoff and KITT. Stupid car, terrible actor; perfect combination 

[Roobarb]

How about this little known one...

Chevy 3100 truck and Clyde. Just watch out for those right turns!

I do love the 924. On my ‘one day when I’m rich and infamous’ list.

I think her motor was a scrote, XR3 I think; I can't remember what the septic drove but given it was the 1980s on ITV it would have been a Ford product of some kind.

In reality Mr Atkinson is a bit of a petrolhead and even includes a Skoda Superb.

Makepeace had a MK3 Escort Cabriolet (1.6i, it didn't get called an XR3i cabrio until the MK4 facelift.) IIRC it had a WC reg number so yes it will have been a Ford press fleet car.



Dempsey (the septic) had a Merc W107 350 SL.

Okay, the character wasn't allowed to drive this car (except the one time, notably, in the episode 'Golden boy', where he explains he wasn't actually insured on it!), but what an iconic duo.

Jeff Randall in Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased) had a base Vauxhall Victor FD (2 litre).

Jeanie (Hopkirks widow) had a Mini (BAP 245B) which is still on the road.

But I loved the Victor, and yearn for a VX4/90.

In an early episode makepeace drove a mini.

The Council GT has recently be restored alas George's MK3 2.0XL (NHK296M)  along with most of the other Sweeny cars were scrapped during the 80's.

Aye, I've been following Mr Shifters posts on FB of the Consul resto, beautiful job. Shame about the other Sweeney motors, rumours keep circulating about the gold Granada Ghia RHJ 997R still being in existence, albeit in a bad state.

Basically.

Black Country rockers Slade celebrating the success of their Christmas 1973 hit Goodbye T'Jane with their brand new tent and Hillman Imp.

[sheffcortinacentre]

The bullit Mustang "field of dreams"  advert is a good one too

[JeeExEll]

Loads of pics on the net of Jackie Stewart with this Mk1 RS3100, but this colour pic appears to show it as the only Purple Velvet one. Don't honestly know if it's a doctored pic or if it's gen, looks gen to me.

Gorgeous colour for Ford models 73 - 76. But you just couldn't imagine, say, a 76- 79 Mk4 Cortina Ghia or a 78 Mk2 Granada this colour, it just wouldn't look right.  Ford geekness can be very strange.

Cannot be surpassed.

That reminds me of an amazingly (intentionally) tacky advert I saw while I was in Germany, featuring the self confessed Berlin Wall demolisher himself.
