In some pics the wheels are the alloys but some are the wire alloys but it is the same car |

Definitely sample of product placement. It's date few months before official launch! (30th June 1976) |

I think this (& some other regular cars) had a "stand in" for 2nd unit shots & in case of breakdowns. |

This Rover was also used in an episode of Return of the Saint : "Yesterday's Hero". The funny thing is it's driven by Ian Hendry (who was in the very first series of the Avengers). |

This particular car also appears in the 1977 public information film ‘Night Call’; can be viewed on the BFI’s website. |

https://player.bfi.org.uk/free/film/watch-night-call-1977-online . I watched it - a reasonable selection of 1970s stuff to plough through - most interesting were probably a police Jag XJ S2 and blink-and-miss-it sightings in motorway spray of silver Escort 1300E and "Citron" yellow Marina TC Jubilee edition. Probably deserves being posted, but I can't get decent captures from BFi site postings or find another source. Edit - now posted. MOC 229P here. -- Last edit: 2020-04-08 22:39:40 |
