Ford consul R.I.P

[@SuperCholdi]

I'd love to drive that green Viva today.

[@davidwardle5]

PNO546R got repaired and lasted until 1986

[@speakfreeley4473]

Looks like there had been a "take one" for when the Consul rolls as it was already some damage when this one happened. Obviously the first take it landed & settled on it's roof when they wanted it upright, so the scene was clearly done again.

[@jamescasey1696]

FORD Cortinas and Series One XJ SIXES!! And Garadners

[@dudstep]

I reckon they were nice looking cars, Granadas.

[@jamescasey1696]

Yes excitied texting is not good!

[@TheRpjenner]

Those grannies really did handle well. The jag was an overweight sitting room struggling to perform. I owned both at the time, new. BMW had the edge then.

[@eroche913]

When motors were motors! Driven by men called Harry and George. Always with a Jaaaaaaaag

[@stevedunningduckinggiraffe6296]

That opening clip was straight out of the opening titles of The Professionals , but a down market version.

[@cnevill2]

Should never have a bright yellow car for get aways

[@mcplutt]

Relax, it's just TV 😀

[@MohammedBham-fe8cr]

That front suspension is gone bloody hell

[@meadroad]

Very rare 2.0 S Cortina & RIP the GXL Granada….. rather over dramatic getaway driver though.

[@piqblaq]

Looks more like a Consul not?

[@meadroad]

@@piqblaq yes your right, looks like the base model…. It was the colour code wheel trims that threw me, normally the GXL used them…

[@piqblaq]

@@meadroad yeah but that front.... Looks a Cónsul L

[@andycooper3612]

Proper motaaaas!

[@mickydroyboy1542]

That’s filmed round the back of the Armadale centre Wandsworth next to king George’s park

[@mrbillhicks]

Was there yesterday

[@charlesedwards4160]

Yes, went over last week, still looks the same. Still has the same advertising on there saying Beech One, Don Beech Nil.

[@Willsey]

Gorran has to be the worst getaway driver ever

[@mogensschmidt2498]

playlist please

[@Michaeluk61]

Lol the triumphs axle would have snapped had it cleared the shop. The consul simular to Capri on bends.

[@highdownmartin]

Crossplies on a wet road! Four dets on the ford bang bang bang bang, and it’s up in flames. All a bit shit but I Love it.

[@htimsid]

Which car is on crossplies?

[@highdownmartin]

@@htimsid probably most of them.

[@russelljameson9118]

Crossplies was YEARS before this FFS??? 🙄🙄🙄

[@mikemartin2957]

​@@russelljameson9118on larger cars like these probably , but cross-plys were still offered on the base 2 litre & 2.5 Consul as late as 1975 ,so when this was filmed late 77/78 then yes it may well have had Firestone or Dunlop cross-plys fitted . Especially as the squeal going round bends.

[@russelljameson9118]

Thanks for the headsup Mike. Sorry about the FFS comment BTW!!

[@thurstonhowell3569]

They draw to much attention to themselves.

[@Hamishtarah]

Money drove them mad 😁

[@carmanbazza]

My Dad was an extra in the film..

[@charlesedwards4160]

Why an extra? Was he not good enough to be in the movie? Surely he couldn't be any worse as a getaway driver than our very own Gorran?

[@carmanbazza]

He was in the scene walking up to the Triumph through the window and at the end in the pub , he had done many parts in film & TV in Southern Ireland. He did mix with some TV celebs in the 60s& 70s.

Cut out the come on you cowson from the Driver

معكم حسن بصله

[@Eltonlaleham]

this series was bloody crap and violent would not be allowed today, such shows would not be PC in todays world.

[@Willsey]

It was better than what we have now

[@rockradio928]

This was the film Sweeney 2. Also end of clip edited. Men in Jags get out, remove petrol cap of Cortina and fire shotgun at it. No prisoners.

[@Willsey]

@@rockradio928 I have the dvd and that has not been edited. Even when Hill puts the shotgun in his mouth.

[@rockradio928]

​@@Willsey As it should be. Wrong to try to erase history.

[@horrorfanandy4647]

It was a brilliant series, and the films (of which this is one) were pretty decent. “Get your trousers on, you’re nicked!” is all I can say.
