Note:- At the end of this chase scene between this aston & "gambits" Jaguar xjs ....the Aston...mysteriously changes into an ...Audi 100 coupe.!! (..I believe they must have had mechanical problems with the aston,an needed a replacement car....could not find another one...& stuck a similar colour Audi...in it's place.!!)

This is a much older DBS than the registration suggests - the twin headlight car was discontinued in 1971 for the 1972 model year when the more recognisable single headlight front end was introduced. There's nothing obvious to identify this as a Vantage model either as externally the two models were identical. Engine wise, this car could be a 6 cylinder DBS or a later V8, though I suspect that judging by its dodgy (Jaguar Primrose) paint job and down at heel appearance, it's an early DBS6 from the late 60's and probably a 'G' or an 'H' plate car, certainly no later than a 'J'.

Gareth Hunt, who portrayed "Mike Gambit" in THE NEW AVENGERS, passed away March 14th, 2007 (three days ago). He did good work, not overshadowing Steed in that series.
