Well he usually hung over the drivers shoulder, gun in hand shouting so I don't know if it counts as a hero driving, but anyway:



Ford Consul GT, appeared in teh opening titles of The Sweeney. I always preferred the villains cars and owned a MK II for a while for no other reason than happy memories of watching them powersliding around with John Thaw in pursuit...

(For the anoraks the Jag's in the Sweeney were usually S Types - blaggers must have preferred them because they had bigger boots!)

It's such a shame they destroyed so many Charger's for that stupid show.

Al Bundy's Dodge Dart gets my vote!

ronnie3585

The white '69 Challenger RT from Vanishing Point (the original) is pretty cool - the driver gets my vote for best hairdo too!

As you can tell by the cars ...this series is pre PC (80's)

(Like Bodie & Doyle with their Escorts and Capris)

Just thought of this now, the 'Bluesmobile' ('72 Dodge Monaco, with a 440 cubic inch (7.2 litre) Hemi V8 engine, proper order!)



It was the model before the catalytic converter, so it'll run well on regular gas.

You'd need to replace the cigar lighter.

Of course the current Aston Martin isn't half bad either.

The Bandit's '77 Pontiac Trans-Am:

Don't know if anyone's watching it, but there's a new series on the Beeb at the moment called "Ashes to Ashes". It's a follow-on/sequel to the superb "Life on Mars" but set in the 80's instead of the 70's, and the hero, if you can call him that, DCI Gene Hunt drives a bright red Audi Quattro. (Pedants like to point out that the Quattro wasn't available in RHD in the UK in 1981, but who cares )

I see you got it sorted while I was replying, but I'll leave this here anyway; it might help others to do the same thing.

Also from that era, the Avengers, Steed's Bentley and Emma Peel's Lotus Elan.

Thanks, I figured it out, eventually. Didn't realise I only needed the video 'code' rather than the whole URL!

Ah yes...Life on Mars/Ashes to Ashes excellent for car-spotting.

Problem is the current series is set in '81 so a lot of era defining cars hadn't yet been launchced (various hot hatches, Sierra Cossie etc.). A Sierra Cossie saloon would have been perfect for Hunt and co. but that's really early '90s isn't it?

That's the best scene of the new series so far BTW:

I think Hutch's car was a Ford LTD, a Galaxie 500 was an altogether cooler looking car !

Anyway one of my early memeories revloves around Simon Templars Jaguar XJS ! The white one with the Reg. plate " ST 1 ". It was a very early 1975 pre-production manual V12 car, though they did use several including automatics which confused the life out of my as I tried in vain to figure it out from the sound, which was probably edited in afterwards anyway !

GB15

Stallones 1950 Mercury from the Film Cobra. He actually owned the car himself.
