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. Jeff's Victor wasn't a base model , it was an SL with the snazzy black and chrome wheelcovers and separate back seats. .i could never understand , as a kid, that he was always skint but had such a flash car.

PiperCub Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Diana Rigg/Emma Peel/Lotus Elan - Amusing fact I read years ago. Rigg really liked the Elan (who wouldn't) and she was asked by the producers if she approved of her character using one in The Avengers, she thought it was ideal. She had one question though, "I can't drive, is that a problem?". So that's why in early episodes of the show, she isn't actually doing the driving - either mocked up or using a stuntwomen shot at a distance, while she learnt and got her licence. Used to happen quite often apparantly back in the day, John Gregson in the movie Genevive is another (had learnt to drive but hadn't time to pass his test before the film shooting started).

The biggest irony being that he made a packet on the car when he sold it a few years back as the value of McClaren's had soared! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerzy Woking Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 I like odd/coincidental connections too. Christopher Dawes died along with his two passengers in 1999 when his McLaren F1 hit a tree on the A120 near his home of Merks Hall, Gt. Dunmow. Not too long after, Liam Howlett, the genius behind The Prodigy, purchased Merks Hall. And he owned a McLaren F1 which he was often seen driving. He sold it (chassis number 023) as it was "too terrifying to drive". Sold the house too. Can't find a photo of the car and him together though.
