The sad thing about that is i'm betting it wasn't made for the film.

I think it was. The guy he was racing against was in Jamie Shaw's, the guy who owns Carisma.

Way too many film cars in this thread, I thought it was about TV shows.

And if we're adding cartoons:

And more from a cool cartoon






Looks just like mine in fact :-)

Every time I see Lloyd's orange souped-up Rice-mobile in Entourage I nearly wet myself laughing...

IMO there is no more inspired piece of automotive casting... (can't find a pic)

Although it is given a run for its money by Hank's Porsche 964 in Californication. It is a true sign of a great car when it just gets sexier the more beat-up it gets...

Captain Scarlet's car and the SPV with it's advanced safety bumper!

Spectrum Security vehicle

FAB 1

Banana Splits:


But I'm guessing we're talking real cars based on production models. if so, the Green Hornet had a car based on the 1966 Chrysler Crown Imperial:

Columbo's 1959 Peugeot 403

Charlie's Angels preferred Mustang II Cobra or otherwise:



Jim Rockford's Firebird:

Oh and don't forget Magnum PI

There was an awful US TV series called Viper.

It featured a morphing Dodge Viper that helped them solve crime.

Libby in Neighbours used to have a really cool green Beetle, it featured quite a bit for a few months. Anyone remember it back in 2004 I think. Can't find any pictures for st though!

This is the best I could find, you can see the cool metallic green window frame

Didn't Lou give Toadfish a really cool old Holden or something? Looked like an Aussie '57 Chevy. IIRC it was custard yellow with a white roof and cow print upholstery.

There was a series in the US called Drive a couple of years ago. It had potential, but as usual Fox decided to mess about, air the episodes in the wrong order at stupid times of the day, varying week to week and then decided to cancel it 6 episodes in because it didn't get the ratings.

Nathan Fillion drove a '70 Challenger, despite them repeatedly calling it a '72 in the show.



There was also a cool Trans-Am.

The Return of the Saint - Ian Ogilvy version

Z-cars:
Always used Zephyrs or Zodiacs from the Mk 1 right up to the horrific Mk IV:

Ah, Purdey's TR7 and the haircut that was as popular as the Jennifer Aniston/Rachel cut in the 70's

Classic TR7 panel gaps there

Awful show but the OH loves it..

Hollyoaks is good for cars, most recently a Capri, Elise, and I remember a lovely white vr6 a few years ago.

[EDLT]

Someone on Emmerdale had a red Monaro VXR.

Hawk in Spenser For Hire had a white BMW 6 series, which, if my memory is good, replaced a white Ferrari 308 / 328 he had in the pilot. For the life of me I can't find any pictures of either on the internet so here's a gratuitous shot of a white Beemer.
