What about Crockett’s Black Ferrari Daytona convertible,from Miami Vice. Now that was a lovely car.it was a kit car that 1
the white testarossa was real.The Daytona was manufactured by a replica company named Mcburnie, They were sued by Enzo Ferrari himself for infringeing his copyrights and misrepresentation ,they were even badged up as Ferrari’s, but were infact corvette chassis’s and running gear with a fibreglass replica Ferrari body on top, these were V8’s the real Daytona’s are V12’s . To make a menz, the production team destroyed the fake Daytona in one of the episodes and in return Ferrari returned the favour by providing free of charge a white and a black Testarossa, the latter car was used in a later episode as a villains car, but could be resprayed if anything untoward happened to the white one. The car was specced in white because the production team felt the black fake Daytona did not stand out enough during the night shoot car chases.
Well,you do learn something new every day then. I didn 't know it was a fake-shocked and stunned-but it still looks great!! I did wonder how they could afford a daytona,and thought the blow up was a movie trick and the car would be ok,oh well. The white Testarossa looked well too.

No, I am not. The look of it is very unusual, I know, and it’s a matter of your personal taste. But as for the car itself… Well…

2,5l air cooled V8 on the back… RWD, up to 160 horsepower…And as for the comfort - Tatra was supposed to be a Rolls Royce for the Eastern Bloc VIPs… That should say everything
I had a pleasure to drive the newer version of this toy, a 613:
but with 3.5l engine, and it drives like a Porsche… Or rather I should say “Porsche drives like this” because it was mr Porsche who stole that idea from Tatra… When Mr Funny Moustache gave him a documentation of this car:
and asked him to build “something like that” which resulted in this car we all know very well:
In 1961 Volkswagen paid Tatra 3 000 000 DM in out of court setlement for stealing their ideas.
Tatra is relatively not known on the West, but before the war it was one of the most technically advanced car manufacturer in the world and it’s shame that it’s heritage is not widely known - it’s one of the oldest car manufacturers in the world and second oldest truck manufacturer…
Here you can see some of its heritage: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=89131&p=1259379&hilit=Koprivnice#p1259368 I’ve been to Tatra museum this summer, and it’s simply stunning.
Sadly, the 603 and later 613 that came up in 1970s was the last really new invention when it comes to cars - over next years they were simply upgading it a bit and giving it a few face lifts, and therefore when Czech Republic broke from communism they could not compete with their western competitors selling petrol-guzzling 25 years old construction. That led to the closure of the car branch of Tatra, which is the shame, as they had some interesting prototypes, for example Tatra MTX:
They still do very good and reliable trucks, mostly for off road and military use.
Jaguar XK220 anyone?

My mate has a 57 Chevy Bel air, straight through pipes and the silencers are Viper’s off a Laverda motorbike - you can hear it when it’s 4 vehicles in front if the engine is working.
SWEET
And seats so big that it took 11 of us for grub when we were camping the year before last

4Don’t know if Terry’s Capris reg was real as in some episodes that reg was shown on a mk 1 Capri
Jon Hill who runs the Capri owners club owns Terry’s Capri from Minder,apparently it was found in a scrapyard somewhere in a really rough state and restored the reg in the pic is the right one. Same guy owned both the Professionals Capri as well not sure if he’s still got them though.
There was a Tatra at the Goodwood revival this year,taken from a museum it was driven by a Norwegian and his roadcrew were all very rich Swiss guy’s
raced very well,they certainly enjoyed the weekend.We could easily have missed the show the number of E Types broken down by the side of the road
expect they had been parked up all year and then just dragged out for the show,not fair on the car.

My friend and old work colleague Dave Billadeau builds and restores “yanks” as he calls them, here are the cars he has owned and rebuilt or restored over the years along with his brother scott and father Gene (he prefers to be called Bill Billadeau though,of french canadian ancestry apparently ). billadeau-speed.co.uk/about.htm
The Charger from Dirty Mary Crazy Larry
mine would be Milner’s ■■■■ yellow Ford coupe from American Graffiti or Harrison Fords 55 Chevy from the same film
S80RTE:
The Charger from Dirty Mary Crazy Larry
I’ve been trying to remember the name of that film for a long time.Thank you S80RTE,and thank you again
Anyway, I may be wrong here,but the Bullitt Mustang hasn’t been mentioned. Top of my list,along with Doyle’s Mk.2
RS200(which has been).Those fishnets do it for me every time. Recaros,of course
Smitten when I was 10yrs old still smitten now at 50 Roger Moore’s Aston Martin DBS V8 from The Persuaders

How very dare you, you’ve missed out the all important General Lee Dodge Charger!! Probably my most favourite TV car of all time, complete with a bootful of moonshine
Look out on e bay for a film called Moonrunners(a.k.a Shine) starring James Mitchum,son of Robert, it’s the inspiration for the Dukes of Hazard.It’s about Grady and Bobby Lee running shine in Plymouth Fury’s for Uncle Jessie,don’t expect Oscar winning acting in it if you do get it. Robert Mitchum also starred in a similar film about moonshiners called Thunder road also worth a look if you like that type of film.
about six months ago I sold my sunbeam Rapier H120. she was like the day she came out the factory…
