I'm sat here watching Forever Young starring Mel Gibson and have just seen a 200 series(I think) saloon in the movie.

There was an immaculate P1800 parked on my street the other day - I want one!

Did anyone else notice that Luther's 740 went from being a G reg to an H reg halfway through the episode?

Back tyre looks a bit soft in the second shot. Maybe a body in the back....

Great thread chaps, although I havent had time to trawl through all the posts, but have we had the burgandy 264 in the film "Nuns on the Run"? It was used by the baddies and featured a quite good chase scene- from which it emerged undamaged.
