    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!

    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 :) )

    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:
    "Today my friend your diary entry will read:'Took a prozzie hostage - and was shot by 3 armed BAAASTARDS!' ":D

    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 !

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