I know the bloke who owns the white Capri from The Professionals.  It's rotten as a year old pear, but he loves it.

It may well have been on TV in the 90's but was set in the 50's so no Ford Corsair in that era. Hartbeat made some similar mistakes........... ;) ;)

Mate of mine owns the motorbike from heart beat, the stretch limo mini used in the  spice girls movie  :-\ and over the years has had one or two other "famous" cars.
His passion is the classics though, he has 4 at the moment,2 of which he hired out for use on Downton Abbey, where he himself appeared for a fleeting second as a chauffeur

I'm sure I spotted a Marina in the background in one episode. :-\

The excellent handling Marina made it's debut in 1972. ::) ::) ::) ::) :)

Thanks! :y :y   But if you remember I have had discussions on the Forum in the past about Granada's vs. Consul's being used in the Sweeney.  This web site answers all doubters!! ::) ::) ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;)
