G'day everyone,.....


When I was growing up there was a show on TV called 'Minder'.

Staring George Cole and Denis Waterman, I have'nt seen it in may years and I have the first 3-4 seasons on DVD.

Well tonight I started re-watching Minder.

In 3 of the first 4 episodes there are Silver Shadows,....

Not a bad start, and I remember later Arthur Daley winds up owning one,...

What shows do you like that have a RR in them?


Graham.

I remember a Silver Shadow in one of the Pink Panther fils, and one of the Charlie’s Angels episodes.

One of my all time favourites is Dirty Rotten Scoundrels with Steve Martin and the legendary Michael Caine

They drive around the beautiful streets of the mythical Mediterranean coastal town of Beaumont Sur-Mer in a beautiful Rolls-Royce Corniche DHC.

I WANT ONE

Patrick,

From one who knows - turn your wish into reality but make sure you get a 1973 or earlier model to avoid the dreaded pollution controls that destroy both the car's driving pleasure and your wallet.

I still miss DRH14434 after its absence of 16 years - divorce property settlements are never conducive to happy outcomes.

In the TV Series 'Lovejoy' you see lots of RRs and Bs, from a 1937 25/30 to a 1991 Silver Spur II.

One recurring character - Lovejoy's nemesis Charlie Gimbert - drives a 1971 Bentley T.

BERGERAC was filmed in Jersey in '80's. The main character was played by John Nettles-solving crimes. His father in law in shows used a white Silver Cloud 111, hired from a Jersey resident for filming. Quite good series with great views of this beautiful island. I used to look after car as dealer. Jersey is small island of Channel Isles group, located 15 miles from France in bay of St Malo

The 70's detective show Colombo is a great car watching experience. Lot's of RR and Bentley, Jaguar, etc.

The show was set in LA so they had no shortage of fancy cars.

OMG, yes Columbo ! I forgot about that.
That one were he went into the RR dealership, crawled under a Shadow with a pair of pliers to see if he could reach some wires.
People watching outside applauded when he was done !
It was priceless !

Must be a bit of TV trickery.. I never been able to crawl under my shadow 2. Partly because I dare not. Christine.. Has a mind of her own.. She would probably drop her suspension and crush me.
Columbo must of had a reinforced trench coat on and been very very skinny

Stephen.
He had quite the time of it, he could barely reach what he wanted.
That was the funny part of the scene was watching him squeeze himself under the car !

I watched The Thomas Crown Affair today. The real one with the king of cool Steve McQueen. A lovely Silver Shadow.
