As an eighties TV series it has to have an ace theme tune: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5XWmU-lv3Q

I liked this series - shallow plots, predictable humour, but characters you could identify with. And a few Brummie accents and locations.

Supposed to be brief shots of Aston DB6 (HAA 83D, Dubonnet Rosso) in 2 episodes:
Quote - In 1990 I was asked by Central TV to take the DB6 for a scene in Boon with Michael Elphick in series 5. It starred Susannah York and Lionel Jeffries and came out on November 11th 1990. I was given a wife for the day - an exceedingly glamorous model called Hayley. She was all right until she opened her mouth "Wos 'is old crock 'en" and comment on my cigar "your not finkin of smokin' dat effin thing in 'ere wif my contact lenses" Same car in series 6 'The Lie of the Land' starring Frank Windsor and I did feel more like I was in the movies as they gave me a walkie-talkie. I had to drive up to the big house on the day of the shooting party. Five times in all people stepping out in the way, dogs running around etc, but it was "OK Aston Martin are you ready" "Yep" "then scene 6 take 2 and action!" At least five seconds in "Daddy's Girl" and more like ten in "Lie of the Land". Blink and you miss it and it took a whole day in each case! - from http://www.amoc.org/forum/index.php?action=printpage;topic=3558.0 towards the end.

The fire apparatus in Sandie's strip of five photos appears to be a c1934 Albion Type 46 fire apparatus manufactured in Glascow Scotland. Ironically the same name that they used for it in the episode. They were primarely a truck and bus company. The body work is of the open Braidwood type as made by Merryweather who used Albion Chassis exclusively for a time. (Information provided to me by the Albion Motor Club of Glascow.)

To Sandie: would you have any other screen grabs of the engine, such as the front and even perhaps showing the registration plate (or even partial)?

Sadly not... I only have those in my files. Thanks for the information. I've made a page for the truck at: /vehicle.php?id=465065

@Sandie:
2: Toyota Corolla
3: yes, a Galant or Galant Sigma (how was it named in the UK?)
4: Datsun
5: annother Corolla
6: absolutely worth to list! :o There's not only a Skoda 120 L on it (rapid130 will know more)! Also a Ford Escort Van, an Austin Allegro plus a MG Maestro Estate!
9: also worth to list, because the Datsun is a JDM-car, to identfy by the mirrors on the fender and the size of the plate - very rare in the 80ies in the UK, or? :think:

3 is a Lonsdale as /vehicle_64429-Lonsdale-YD41-1983.html - worth a page.
4 is 75+ Cherry F10 - probably worth a page.
6 Agree Maestro Estate, but MG was saloon body only.
9 Not sure the Datsun is JDM-spec - wing mirrors look ordinary UK and sometimes they just chose funny plate formats.
