The Best Volvo 1800 Car Chase Ever! - Roger Moore in "The Saint" - "Rough Diamonds" 1963

[@bodieofci5418]

Roger Moore liked the Volvo so much he bought one for himself off screen.

[@wojciechtrojanowski7178]

This episode was directed by Peter Yates who later directing "Bullitt".

The Saint is so cool, he uses the turn signal during a car chase.

[@ketchup5344]

Exactly!!👍

[@Extraneus73]

Muscle memory... :D

[@bobjohnson205]

You have to obey the law! You don't want to get a ticket! lol

[@cultfan5227]

LOVE THAT CAR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@blueabattoir]

I have longed for that car since I was a kid. I still want it. One of the most beautiful cars ever made. Just wish it had a bigger engine.

[@Floorguy1000]

Interesting to see the old British cars on the sidelines here. At around 1:03 you can see a DB4 parked on the corner.

[@motoryzacjawaldka9597]

One of the best films pursuits. Where I can find this music?

[@kh23797]

Thanks for this contribution, _GiftsByTheGreen_. Most of the time, this series was excessively studio-bound, so it's nice to see them get out of Elstree and do a bit of location work, in what was actually quite a decently directed car chase. The only disappointment was the choice of pursuit car, a base-model Zephyr 4, when a nice top-of-the-range Zodiac would have made it a fairer race. I seem to recall that in action series back in the sixties/seventies, a Jaguar saloon was the bad boy's transport of choice.

ROGER MOORE MY ALL TIME FAVORITE

[@1MusicHighpowerland]

[@stuartmoss8877]

Love that model volvo

[@javierbarrientos9927]

Those were the days of wine and roses

[@brmf4346]

Remember back then Sweden stil drove on the correct side of the road, so the steering wheel was on the correct of the car by default.

[@ketchup5344]

Still looking good!!

[@nickjervis8123]

A Zephyr 4 wheezing. Couldn't catch its own shadows

[@Kojoanna]

Love that car

[@Tardisius]

Such a COOL car =))

[@wurlitzer895]

...and notice at 1.33 another 1800 parked behind the mini to the right of the screen. I wouldn't want to try to steer an 1800 that tightly at speed, but perhaps my steering isn't as good now as it would have been when the car was new in 1966!!

[@leftcoaster67]

Those skinny tires. :)

[@baltasarfernandezcandela3951]

Minute 0:57 my 2 cars together ..... the P1800 and the Renault Floride

[@jonjones1553]

I like the bike at 0:53!

[@trevorkeyes6067]

this was the early bullitt car chase

[@MrRetepyesmar]

A car chase..... in central London?Myst have been Sunday traffic and long before the congestion charges were introduced to capitalize on the congestion.

[@agentelishadaniel1007]

Since Roger Moore could be the James Bond, Roger Moore seems like Sean Connery's voice.

[@marts500]

I bet they just turned up and filmed that on spec.No health & safety..no planning.Just roll,em.

[@Efferpheasants]

Yep they had no time for that health and safety bull ..they had 26/30 episodes to make- these days they do 7 episodes of Dr Who a year if your lucky and ' the crew & actors are exhausted ' and need a rest .

[@martel7322]

Did I miss something? What car chase??

[@bobjohnson205]

They must have been hitting speeds of 30 or even 40mph! lol

[@bobjohnson205]

It wasn't exactly 'Bullitt', was it? They were using their turn signals during the "chase"! lol

[@corneilcorneil]

Really? Speed X1.5 or x2.0

[@TheMindProjection]

My father is rather convinced that the saint's car at some point was red, but I cannot find any pictures to confirm this. Does anyone here know for sure?

[@ketchup5344]

Nope, it was always white. As white as his halo.👍

[@TheMindProjection]

@@ketchup5344Thanks, man :)

[@astronmr20]

@@TheMindProjection in the re-make of the Saint, the Val Kilmer film, his car is a red Volvo C70. But in the original series with Roger Moore, it was always white.

[@Extraneus73]

The first one plain white, and the second (S) one pearl white or maybe california white, I believe...

[@trevorkeyes1639]

classic

[@janmuylllaert4266]

the best ever ????????????????

[@bobjohnson205]

Right up there with 'Bullitt' and 'The Seven-Ups'! lol

[@57GnG79]

Forza horizon 3 brought me here

[@gailfisher1350]

When they're on location in France, they show all of the actors driving Citroens. God, but those cars are ugly. In Italy, I bet they drive Fiats. Those are cute cars.
