Only thing I remember being slightly interesting was a Daimler convertible that looked like 1950s. I expect this qualifies me as an imcdb member. A friend asked me yesterday to show her how to catch up on an episode of the remake on her PC, and so I watched the episode. When I saw it was set in the 1930s, I wondered if they had changed the setting from 1950s. I looked up the Daimler on imcdb for the original series and it was not there. I wondered if I was going mad, but then I found this on the internet. Sorry I can’t name the model of Daimler. These pictures indicate it was s7.e13
