For sweeney fans information

Ive just bought the reg NHK 296M from a car dealer in the north and he has the gold Granada from the third and fourth series !!

[Mr Day]

That was the plate on the blue mk3 cortina wasnt it,Do you know what happened to it??

[JAY PS]

the cortina was scrapped many years ago ,the dealer bought the plate on a golf cabriolet and the owner didnt realise what hed got !

Plate was cheap really can only go up in value ,i believe the plate was sold off by dvla a couple of years ago

[Mr Day]

I'd love a plate or car off a programme like the sweeney or professionals!

Whats your plans for the plate then,blue mk3 cortina??

[JAY PS]

Will keep looking for right car ,but for now may go on the van !

That granada is believed to be the "other consul that was used " but reg plates were 295 ,as pater brayham rip said they used two cars in the filming process which is why in one episode the aerial moves from o/s/f/ to n/s/f/ all in the same scene !!!

if there was another consul that caused the aerial to move from side to side that car can't be it cos the aerial is on the same side as 295

yes i am sad enough to notice that

[bortaf]

According to this post it used to be green? so i doubt it was used in the filming as far as i've allways been aware it was biult as an exact replica of 295 before 295s re-appeasrance on the sweeny forum ? check out the rest of that forum you'll see Peter apparently said they used a factory reject car for the stunt work on one episode.

 

so you gonna get a Mk3 and do a replica ?

[JAY PS]

need to find a good mk3 75 model GT or XL but they are like hens teeth

[bortaf]

good luck anyhoo
