Marcus Tandy - Eldorado

[Garlick]

What did he drive?

I think it was a naf 80's cabrio, but I can't remember what it was and it's bugging me.

Cheers.

Oh, as a bonus round, what did Ken Masters in Howards Way drive too?

[schmalex]

Marcus Tandy = Blue Renault Alpine

Ken Masters drove a Jag, I think

ETA. MG511 is correct. Ken Masters drove a red Alpine. It was Jack Rolfe who had the Jag

I don't remember Eldorado, but I thought Ken Masters drove a red Renault Alpine

IN Eldorado, was it not a blue 90's Renault Alpine?

Ken Masters had a Renault Alpine, I think it was the actors own car.

The A610 didn't go bang, a completely unlookylikey went bang in it's place. Big budget filming dontchaknow!

[Garlick]

What's this then? XJS perhaps?

Seems Marcus had more cars than me....

I am deeply ashamed.

Unfortunately, my near encyclopaedic knowledge of Howards Way is often a source of deep embarrassment to both myself & my wife


ETA. The only thing I remember from Eldorado was the A610

Was it flash Ken who crossed in front of the sailing boat in his Sunseeker during the opening credits? I'm sure he would have had his suit jacket sleeves rolled up too.

Yes. IIRC, he was in a Sealine 29 & crossed in-front of Barracuda (A Sadler Barracuda 45) just going through Hurst Narrows on the way out to the Needles

I am deeply ashamed, but when the wife is watching crap on TV I sometimes look up from whatever car mag I'm reading and think, nice car...

According to Wikipedia...

Wikipedia said:

The series ended with one of its star characters, Marcus Tandy (played by Jesse Birdsall), escaping an attempt on his life with his car being blown up, and sailing off into the distance on a boat, with his girlfriend Pilar Moreno (played by Sandra Sandri). Some viewers noticed that the car that was blown up was not, in fact, the Renault Alpine driven by Marcus, but a thinly disguised, much older model, the Triumph TR7.

[retrorider]

ken masters car history in the show were a 5 & 6 series beemer and a couple of alpines...He also had a roller on loan in one show

[LHDisbest]

In the early episodes of Eldorado he drove an XJS convertible and then a A610.

I always quite fancied his little spanish bird who called him 'Marcooose'
