quicksilver Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Does anyone remember the Dodgey Charger 'Generally' from the Practical Classics 'Dukes of Wisbech' feature in 2001? I recall at one point it got nicked and was found about a mile down the road neatly parked in a public car park. It's still around but with the numbers and flag removed and now runs a 2-litre Zetec for the go to match the show.

MiniMinorMk3 Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 Along with Starsky and Hutch reps, the General Lee must be one of the most copied themes on cars. There used to be an XJ40 near me, long gone now, and this Baja was a reguar at the Metro Centre a few years ago. bunglebus, Split_Pin and Banger Kenny 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warren t claim Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 FFS I had a mate called Robbie who had a Reliant Robin General Lee back in 1989! He replaced it with a Bedford CF A Team van replica before getting banned after a high speed pursuit on a GSXR750 he'd forgotten to insure.

The fact I see it as a bigger issue than not using a GMC van is a pointer to how fucked up my brain is.

mk2_craig Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 It says something about these TV series' lasting impact when people are painting up much more modern vehicles as replicas, decades after the shows were cancelled. Though to be fair I haven't yet seen any Peugeot 207s in Starsky and Hutch colours. bunglebus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did start work on it, removing the rear bed spot weld by spot weld and got some sections bent up to repair the rear chassis sections, he then gave the work to someone else... It still exists and is parked half a mile away but apparently the work done isn't up to MOT standard so it's sat for a couple of years now. catsinthewelder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
