And an older and newer picture

 

 

 

Watching this upset me as a 10 year old. 

It says 1980, but I'm guessing more early 1979 due to the Cortina being a Mk4 instead of a Mk5/Cortina 80.

Fair play to Lovejoy for having the bottle to ride pilly, helmetless, on the back of a 1978 Z1000 while it's being thrashed through traffic. Trust me, 1978 tyre technology coupled with a bike that can handle like it has a hinge in the middle made this a brave stunt!

When he checks the hotel register it says April 79, the date given for films is I believe when they are/were first released.

Lovejoy was great.

Mostly shot on location so lots of background vehicles.

Note the Hull reg number on the Alfa. Ellisons of Hull brought in brand new LHD Spyders converted them to RHD and then registered them. There are a surprisingly large number of RH, KH, AT and AG registered RHD Spyders.

I did wonder about that reg, I didn't know that.

They threw the same white Jag and red Renault Dauphine into a quarry several times...

The Dauphine footage was used in Father Ted when Father Larry Duff was distracted by his mobile phone while driving!

Interesting, a guy round here used to do that, a bank manager's son.

Can you imagine a premier league team being given today’s equivalent of a Maestro?  They won the European Cup the year before that as well.

Sex Education ran for 4 series on Netflix (2019-2023) , its pretty funny if you like crude humour but is quite AS relevant as all the characters drive 70-90s cars despite it being set in the 2020s.   She is one of the lead characters.  It also stars Gillian Anderson and the guy who currently plays Dr Who

Nope, never seen it.  My friend used to have a w123 estate in the same blue though...

A Delahaye and you have either better eyesite or a larger screen that I have.
