HAPPY BIRTHDAY GORDON JACKSON

[caprimk1v4]

I know it is only loosely connected to "OLD FORD CARS", but the TV series "THE PROFESSIONALS" did a lot of good for the image of what was brand new Fords during the run of the series, that we now regard as "OLD SKOOL FORDS", but today the actor Gordon Jackson would have been 96, he was, as most of you will know, played the part of George Cowley, the hard hitting boss of CI5.

 

Anyway, it is a real shame the actor is no longer with us, along with Lewis Collins, I personally would like to remember them, they were a big part of my growing up and the reason I have a MK2 Granada & various other Fords that would have been the norm in the background of most of the series.

RIP Gordon & Lewis, you brought me and so many others pleasure with the cars of the show, and still do with the re-runs.

Gone but not forgotten.

I thank you.

Got to agree there m8....still watch them now. They seem to be on every day... Professionals, Minder, Sweeney to name a few. Always had the OldSkool Fords in them. Great viewing 👍
