First thumb shows a Jan 82+ tailgate with deeper rear window, but the rest use a mongrel SD1 with B871 NLM plates from a 1984 Renault 25 GLX, and a much older car with early front which has been dressed up with spoiler and paint to look like the Jan 82+ grille. Has 2300 S rear badge, but that was Jan 82+ so faked, and no wing badges. Has sunroof, but narrow wheels so a low grade SD1 and early 2300 looks about right. Seen in Derbyshire for brief glimpses (roof only) parked beside road, and then the dramatic chase with the red Cavalier through the lanes - lots of nerfing and a sideswipe before it crashes and goes bang. Crash scenes show old tailgate window shape.
