I havent heard of “Out “ or the Film “ Performance “ before.
Just looked up Bryan Marshall, very well known character actor who has sadly passed away.

Yes Marshall has been in loads of good British films and TV series though strangely never in 'The Sweeney'. He was in 'The Professionals' and 'The Long Good Friday' though, and the 1972 ITV series 'Villains' with Bob Hoskins, Martin Shaw and loads of other well known faces. I'd recommend watching 'Out', it's very gritty with some great characters, casting and locations etc. It was made right at the end of Sweeney production in late '77 and early '78 and has a very similar feel to the Sweeney.

'Performance' is probably more of an acquired taste, it's almost two cult films in one, shot in late 1968 but not released until 1970. The first half is a gangster film with James Fox causing havoc for his guvnor (played by Johnny Shannon who later appeared in The Sweeney, The Professionals and Minder) then the second half is where he goes on the run and hides out in Mick Jagger's hippy den in Notting Hill. It's nicely filmed with some more familiar faces playing the villains, including John Bindon who was also in 'Get Carter'.

The S-Type in 'Stoppo Driver' was 'RBP 282E'

S type villians choice

That's Brannigan with John Wayne wrecking a 3 litre Capri ! (Sweeney stuntman Peter Brayham really)

Never ever liked the 420 and disliked the S-type even more.

420G However is lovely.

HHm, I'm the exact opposite!

Always liked the S-Type and 420, but the 420G was just a bloater!

This reminded me of an old Stanly Baker film "Robbery" where lags in a Jag went tear-arsing around London:
