The New Avengers (John Steeds Car)
I often wonder if The Avengers and the Professionals used the same Yellow Rover.

Do any of you remember the Channel 4 drama "The Deal"?
Basically the story of Blair and Browns rise to power.
My local Rover Club supplied the 2 Moonraker SD1's used in that program,one of which was mine!!
They were originally to be police escort cars,
but ,when the cars got to London,they liked my mates Vanden Plas so much,they used it as Maggie Thatchers car instead of the Jag they had originally planned to use.
John(my mate) has since sold his car(I've seen it on E-Bay in Cheshire area),but I've still got mine,and it's taken best SD1 at last 3 Rover Enthusiast South West shows,
Not bad for a 1985 Rover 2000!!!

In the film sliding Doors on tonight there was a c reg mettalic green one in the background as John Hannah and skinny blonde bird married to Chris Martin, talked.
Funny to think that in 98 when the film was made there were loads of them, probably still an everyday sight.

It is crazy that only what seems like yesterday they were everywhere.

Now i the same 2600 sat on a drive everyday on the way to and from
work and THATS IT
I remember the Max power mag with the Prism Motorsport SD1 and
in the back there was another 2 wide arch SD1's for sale in the back.
Now you dont see any anywhere.

...was that the black / dark grey wide arch jobs...?
I remember they pics well...yum!! yum!!

I remember seeing a film once with Michael Caine driving an SD1, can't remember the deatails of the car or the film. Also George Cole drove an SD1 in Blott on the Landscape, and watching Clockwise on TV the other afternoon reminded me when John Cleese is arrested at the end, he is driven off in a Series 2 SD1 Police Car, escorted by a Series 1 SD1 Police Car, and as he is being driven away he does his "Left! no right!, no left!" speech causing the driver to make some rather sudden and erratic steering inputs.....loadsa bodyroll......

1980 Box office flop although a fave of mine "Raise the Titanic" very rare triton green V8-S just comes into view in one of the few shots made in england. Would have been a new car then!

does any one remember the police footage which became known as 'the liver run'basically 2 sd1 traffic cars race against time from the m11 to a hospital in london with a liver for transplant(was to go by helicopter but grounded due to fog),filmed by the in car cameras it shows the skill of the traffic police-i know i have it on vhs-i will try and find it to copy

Me too!!

Saw this on a police camera action the other day its good .

Saw that on plice camera wotist the other night, had me glued to the TV!
