A few classic Minder screenshots.

Great stuff Trig, thanks for your superhuman efforts!

 

I really ought to get the box set. I've been catching a few episodes randomlay recently on ITV4 and I remember the one with the scrapyard. The one with the green Rancho came on the other week when I was at my parent's and me and my dad both let out a "Shiter's Shout" at the same time!

[trigger]

I thought I might update this thread seeing how popular Vin's is, I still have completed the whole series yet neither!

 

Carry on from 1984 then.

Stonewashed jeans FTW!

 

Unknown recovery truck is a Jeep Cherokee.

[boobydoo]

Good work,Triggles!

 

But £1995 for a shagged G reg Capri in 1985..........I don't think so.

[eddyramrod]

The "unknown recovery truck" is a Jeep, probably a J20; and the "crashed Lada estate" is an FSO, or Polski Fiat, 125p. Great grabbing, well done!

[Pete-M]

Nnnnngh @ 2.8i Ghia X Granadas. I do love those old barges.

 

Top pics!

Ami8, not 6

 

I'd forgotten how shabby places were back then...

[Tayne]

Well done Trigg, excellent work.

I've watched all the Minders but not paused to see all the cars on the street.

 

Can I also just say OMG ! TAGORA!

[Felly Magic]

Looks like a Solara to me

[DSdriver]

A bit of useless information: the transit van in pic three used to belong to a bunch of removals guys who had their office across the road from me in Bethnal Green. All their vans were painted in the same matt terracotta and I don't think the idea caught on so its a pretty safe bet.

I keep returning to pic 9 for reasons totally unrelated to autoshite. Great arse, do we know who it belongs to?

You must mean this lady here, yes, she was quite fit, she was noshing off Barry from Last of the summer wine in this episode, I think her name is Shireen Anwar.

[DSdriver]

mmmmilf

getting back to this pic

Reminded me of a time a strolled into a breakers in Deptford. Similar set up - arch under the railway. Anyway I was about thirty feet in when I heard a chain rattling behind me.

I turned round and nearly shat myself because they had a full grown lioness on a chain in there.

GR8 pikeyproofing.

[Skizzer]

Great thread, thanks Trigger.

 

We've been watching the reruns on ITV4 - Mrs S missed out on Minder first time round because she was still back home in Germany then. Now she's lived in London for 20 years she can follow the dialogue , and has also been using it to fine tune her shite-spotting skillz (which are much improved since spending quality time driving around with me).

Cor blimey no, it's an Ami Super with the 1015 GS engine...

He's not wrong, y'know... Slotted wheels? Check. Horizontal grille trim? Check.

Thread resurrection warning !!

 

Could anyone track me down a screenshot from the Minder episode this was in

Into 1984 now!

 

Series 5 Episode 8 apparently (Balance of Power)

 

When Arthur comes out of the polling station there is a Toyota Celica TA22 (1st Gen Coupe) in the background, that's what I need a shot of.

 

Any help warmly received.

Thanks, Ian.

[trigger]

I will look into it now for you mate.

Rather annoyingly there's a tiny mark on the disc so my computer won't read it so I've had to take a photo from my TV, I can't read the number plate as the cars too far so it's unreadable but i hope this helps.

Above and beyond the call of duty !! Many thanks for the quick reply.

A fellow TEC (Toyota Enthusiasts Club) member with a TA22 had seen that episode but couldn't find it on the net anywhere.

I'll pass your shot on to him which is sure to make his day.

Thanks again, Ian.

Cant catch the reg

Thanks very much for those two shots. Much appreciated !
