... it becomes the derelict Minor from the quarry in eps 2.01 and 2.02. And amazingly our super-intelligent hero detective and the other plods don't realise ...

 Definite budget cuts. They faked burning an E-Type in the BBC original: /vehicle_768814-Jaguar-E-Type-1972.html

Weird they are adapting books written and set in the early 2000s into the 70s.

I am guessing the first book was set and released in the 1970s, I guess they want keep that way, though I agree it's a weird choice

 Possibly because modern detective series (last 20 years or so) are dominated by access to mountains of technology (computer databases, CCTV of everything, instant communications thru smartphones etc) so the detective task is more about information processing and management. If you want a vibe of the hero solving everything by good old-fashioned sleuthing, cod psychology, experience and intuition, then you need a pre-technology era.

Plus - to be cynical - these Dalgliesh remakes have olde worlde plot scenarios and such laboured and clunky storylines that they'd fall apart completely if set in modern context. It would be impossible to stretch any episode beyond about 15 minutes long before it collapsed ...

 I thought he was better in The Sandbaggers.

 The Sandbaggers was totally superb (despite ridiculous cardboard sets). New York Times called it "the best spy show in TV history".
