That film clip of the racer nudging straw bales was a Lagonda. Just saying.

I switched into the program 10 mins late so must have missed that, what was it the 1950s Lagonda V12? Anyway some really nice footage of the Le Mans DBR1s

Yes. It was a clip from the film Checkpoint.

Well that blows all the originality guff out the water then

I agree

Green with oxblood hide is perhaps THE classic combination for English sports cars.

Exactly what I was thinking. Will this particular car increase in value as much as an original one? Or did someone get a bit carried away............

Lovely car, though. Wouldn't say no.

The rover does not sell for quite so much unsurprisingly

Lovely jubbly!

[JonRB]

Judging by the "next time" clip, with that car being sold in the same auction, it does rather break the suspension of disbelief over the tight deadline.

Good show, tune in next week.
Police SD1 means "Liver Run"

Indeed for those of us that can remember those times.

There's an almost new Jag XF-S in the car park at work, and that's dark green metallic with red interior......probably the only XF in that colour combo in the UK I would think, but it looks brilliant

Hang on, 6k hours in labour and 50k in parts? Have happened to the £85k mentioned earlier?

Evan at a 150k there will be no profit then.
