coyote63000 ◊ 2005-10-05 15:52	Pour le tournage de la serie,la DBS 6 cylindres a été choisie pour des raisons pratiques,mais comme il aurait été mal vu que lord Sinclair ne possede pas le haut de gamme,la voiture a été "deguisée" en DBS V8.(Sigle V8 et jantes alliage)

crex ◊ 2005-12-31 19:39	According to this page: "Roger Moore - Aston Martin. In the series Brett Sinclair (Roger Moore) is supposed to drive a DBS V8, but in fact the car was a DBS six cylinder 5 speed manual gearbox with V8 wheels and V8 badging. The Bahama-yellow car was registered in June 1970 with an original number plate of PPP 6H. This can be seen in the episode The Gold Napoleon in a now famous Persuaders! blooper. In the series the car carried a BS1 plate, similar to ST1 plate from The Saint. The car was originally tracked down in Leeds in the late 1980's and had had a number of owners. A TMA member purchased the car and it was sold to another club member in 1994. It is currently being restored to its original Persuaders! condition by Aston Martin. The present owners name cannot be divulged."

Pelham ◊ 2011-01-12 22:16	This car has its own page on facebook! Here's a link: http://www.facebook.com/pages/PPP-6H/185486351463799?v=photos&ref=ts Also larger photos of 'BS 1' on Flickr, here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/gold_napoleon/sets/72157625709371632/ The restoration of the car by the Aston Martin factory was completed in 1997. As of 2011 it is still in the same 'newly-restored' condition, having been maintained constantly by the Aston Martin factory yet rarely used. The car is still in private ownership. It changed hands to a new owner (for the first time in 16 years) in late 2010. -- Last edit: 2011-03-22 18:55:14

CrashingDuke ◊ 2015-10-14 11:28	Shouldn't this car have a 5 star rating?
DidierF ◊ 2015-10-14 12:00	crashingduke wrote Shouldn't this car have a 5 star rating? Though very present in each episode, at least during the opening credits, this car, like the Dino, is not that important in action —both cars are social and personality markers, not much more. So, their 4-star rating is the maximum they deserve, in my opinion.
