Thank you! That is the most exciting set of pictures I have seen for a very long time!

Do you know how to use the Internet?

Yep, Not every serve/router/drive is as filthy as yours!

Shaw and Collins played similar characters to Bodie and Doyle in The Avengers a few years before The Professionals.

Used to love the Profs, so wanted a RS2000, closest I got was a MK2 1600 Sport.

3-7 to 4-5.

OK - it's a minor point, but the GB sticker on the back of the RS2000??

Looks like the BRSCC logo but don't think they would have had any reason to knock out GB plates. Any ideas ?

It deffo was the BRSCC logo on the GB sticker ,I bought one for mine ,not sure if it was to copy Doyle's car .

I think I stuck it on the opposite side to the tv car anyway.

Indeed Patrick Mower is married to Anya Pope

Funny watching 1970's Britain. Sweeney episode where they go to an antique shop in Notting hill, it's as grimy damp and dirty as you remember the 70's, utterly depressing, that area is now gentrified and the houses worth £millions.

Best TV show ever. Gutted when it got binned. My best friend bought a 3.0S Capri inspired by The Professionals.

So did I......

Very nice. His was met blue. We also had our own CI5, SR15 (Simon and Russell).

Don't want to speak ill of the dead but met Lewis Collins at a car launch in Bath many years ago , nice bloke , but Ski Sunday could have broadcast from the dandruff on his blazer . Yeap 3.0 Capri and an RS 2000 were boxes ticked in my yoof .

Didn't know that, thanks - she was shacked up with Mower for a while back then though.

That might just be the coolest MK3 Capri I've ever seen

Thanks! Here's one of me with it just after I bought it. The closest I'll ever get to actually being in the professionals :-)

[techguyone]

Hrmm its got a mk2 grille, is it a mk3 with a mk2 grill or a mk2 with twin headlight conversion

[heyhomes]

Started off as a laser then was modified to look like it does in the photo. I've always preferred the look of the S though so when I had to replace some panels as part of repairs I put it back together to look like an S.

Minder is on ITV4 right now,comical driving in a Cortina MK3 chased by a Vauxhall Ventora and Old Bill turn up in an SD1.
