I have posters etc but i´m not allowed to put them up. Rolling Eyes Something about minimalism! Laughing I bought Rita Sue and Bob too just because of the Rover in it.

What looks to be a Black 3500 se in an action scene in the 4th Protocol with Micheal Caine and Pierce Brosnan.
Micheal Caine gets picked up in Rover and then the Rover races around the streets to get to a station in time for a train departure. Rover then races into station and hanbrake turns alongside the Train.

Ah yes, the supposed same car was in the club mag a few years back, though it had materialised into a Vitesse at some stage!.

I don't know if the producers did a bit of plate swapping, but it sure wasn't a Vitesse in the film (it had a sort of 'tan' coloured interior too IIRC). I'm not even sure that it was even a 3-5. It seemed to sound more 6-pot to me, I could be wrong though.

I recorded it last time it was on tv, so I might have a spotters moment at some stage and try and determine exactly what it is! Very Happy

Funny you should say that because at the end in the Funeral scene there is a blink and you will miss it moment where there is a black Vitesse amongst the Funeral cars.

Lots of P6's too! Very Happy

Not films exactly but...
What was that tv series in the eighties with Penelope Keith?. Saw a clip recently and I'm sure she was driving an SD1.

Oh, and I remember a nice Oporto red VDP in an episode of 'Howards Way' cruises up full of business types!

Watch the god awful cannon and balls film "boys in blue" and theres lots and lots of Sd1 police cars, a 2000 automatic if i remember righly which apparetly they never made, mind you it would be bloody slow.

Also Clockwise with John Cleese theres half a dozen police sd1s.

Was it To the Monor Born?
The thing about 80,s TV is that whenever they on location in a city, you will nearly always see an SD1, especially if the Police are in it.

I think it was a bit later than that one. Inbetween that and the one where she was a lawyer or something, driving a MG RV8.

Hang on, just done a search....it could have been 'Executive Stress' maybe.
Though it could also have been 'Moving' or 'Sweet Sixteen'.

Anyone remember those?, I don't!
