Hmm, looks promising. Had no idea such a thing was in the pipeline.

[Guest]

Set in 1981? My generation of Charmant came out in 1981, wonder if they'll give one of the characters one? (no)

[CortinaDave]

NO WAY!! The white mk5 cortina is my old car.. sold it on fleabay in 2005...

 

 

 

and as it looked when i had it...

 

 

I hope they're not planning to throw it about too much, I sold it because it was really soft around the Y pieces...

[Marty]

Its that bloody Marina again..... The one that appeared in EVERY episode of LOM, weathered well since 1973 hasn't it?

[MrRegieRitmo]

Whats wrong with that path? The pictures not showing but I can't work out why.....

Mind you, when I pasted it into the address bar, I got something very different from a Marina!

[MrRegieRitmo]

Lovely Quattro! - just like the one I've shown in my Goodwood pictures but at the opposite end of the model life span.

One has to look beyond the obvious....

[pogweasel]

Where will this ever end?

 

Should I look forward to Gene Hunt in 1996 razzing around in an early Mondeo to the strains of drum'n'bass.

 

You little wonder, little wonder you

and as it looked when i had it...

Great! they've taken some plain bread and made a jam sandwich!

Oh sorry - that was far too subtle for me.

 

Still not sure why your IMG link didn't work.....I assume you saved it to your own image bank before linking to it?

That's the people who supplied the cars for you! In case you were wondering, that really IS half a roof rack supporting the lights, I spoke to the man who lashed it together.....

The good news is that series 2 has a better quality of cars and vans in it, some of em mine.....

[CortinaDave]

only police car anoraks will give a monkeys though... looked convincing enough on the telly.I didnt hear anyone in my house say "ooh look that isnt a correct period police light bar" I was more concerned about them pulling any handbrake turns etc in it... unless its had a lot of welding, it must be pretty collander-esque underneath by now.

[FredTransit]

Trust me, a few people noticed! The attention to detail has improved with the new series.....

[VWPowered]

great link that

[Electric Leyland]

Making my way back from work tonight, walking along the street almost home, suddenly came across this spectacle occurring up a normally very quiet and unremarkable little sidestreet....

 

 

 

 

Can you see it?

 

 

 

 

 

 

There was also a Sherpa cop van, but I'd just missed snapping that, and Phil Glenister, darn it.

 

Fancy!

[FredTransit]

They are filming the trailers, not long now.

[Electric Leyland]

Correct, the bloke I asked said it was for a trailer. Any of your collection in it Mr Transit?

[FredTransit]

Not this bit but.......

 

[Electric Leyland]

That Sherpa was the same as the one I spotted round the corner (no photo though)

[FredTransit]

yep it's the only one they have got!

[retrogeezer]

The audi looks like a model in this shot:

 

[MrRegieRitmo]

I'm just shocked it's as early as V reg, don't think I've ever seen one older than W or X & even then it was a special occasion to see one that early!

[FredTransit]

It's a prop plate mate...... Can't tell which one it is unless I see the exhaust

[Volksy]

Yer the quattro is a bit of a boob. Headlights and bumpers date that one as a post '84, Also, they wern't imported to the UK until Spring 1981, but LHD only, and with the quad square lamps.

Please don't remind me.

[MrRegieRitmo]

What's different about the bumpers? Oh yes I should have remembered the saga of the car not being right for one of the earliest!

[Richard]

Christ on a bike, they're not dragging that up again are they? It ran out of steam by the middle of the first series of Life on Mars.

[scruff]

Well I can't wait!! Great pics E.L
