TR3a in Coronation St

[Jukebag]

A few nights ago there was a lovely green Triumph TR3a (judging by the grill) parked up at the garage in Coronation St, with Nigel Havers' character stood beside it.

There seems to be one or two classics that have made an appearance in Corrie and other soaps over the last couple years, one of them being the very brief appearance of a series 3 E,-Type roadster driving down the cobbles. In think Emmerdale also had had the odd appearance of Triumphs and Porsche's.

Yes, noticed that outside Kev Webster's garage. Lovely.

I thought Lewis was eyeing it up as his getaway car

I don't watch Corri but can only guess that Lewis is the village idiot then!

Oh no! You clearly don’t watch it.

Hardly,...…. the "street" conman played by Nigel Havers.

Unfortunately he died last week...….

I know it's sad that I noticed but the front seats in Roy's woody definitely weren't original Morris item's!

There was a coppertone HC Viva in it for a while, apparently. I haven't watched it for a very long time, but recall some talk in the club.

You forgot to list the V12 E-Type roadster that popped up briefly a few years ago (can't remember how long ago, maybe longer than I think -2014/15/16?). Can't recall who was at the wheel, but I think Audrey got in the passenger side (maybe I'm wrong there) and they both drove off down the cobbles. Can't find any clips of this scene in youtube. Does no-one ever record anything these days and upload to youtube?.

Also, going back a long time, there was a brief appearance of an Aston DB5 convertible seen at Baldwin's garage.

And I'd forgotten, there was a Minor estate in it for a while, I think when Vila from Blakes 7 (Michael Keating) was teaching Dot Cotton how to drive.

Then there was Michael Rodwell's Maestro ice cream van and I think I remember Alma Halliwell driving an MG Midget.

What about that kit car of Steve's? Or Annie Walker's P6. Story line was that Brian (garage) banger raced it but I expect it is still around somewhere.

That must have been a bit of sneaky product placement. I can't see how it would have naturally fitted the storyline etc.

[LotusOmega375D]

The scene reminded me of those paparazzi photos of Kelly Brook washing her Saab.

Yes apologies for missing the DB7 V12 Vantage Volante. That's Nicky Tilsley's current steed.
