Endeavour (2012)	Sandie	As things stand the main series has a separate IMDB entry to this pilot movie: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2701582/	2013-04-14 22:22
1960 Jaguar Mk.II 2.4 Endeavour (2012)	Sandie	At the start of the first episode of the new series there was a tracking shot over Oxford where you see a lot of older cars, I'm sure that a maroon MK.II with a black roof was shown in that shot, could be this car again. Though the shot was fairly brief...	2013-04-14 22:17
1956 Morris Isis MkI Endeavour (2012)	Denters	This is my brother's 1956 Morris Isis Series I and not an Oxford! Shortly I'm taking it for three days of filming on 'Breathless' (a forthcoming ITV period drama) in which the two of the lead characters, played by Shaun Dingwall & Joanna Page, 'own' the car. It was also used on 'My Week With Marylin' as was my Wolseley 6/90. -- Last edit: 2013-05-14 20:17:50	2013-04-12 15:28

1963 Ford Zephyr 6 MkIII [213E] Endeavour (2012)	compo	I can confirm this is a Z6 as I rebuilt her prior to the Endeavour pilot. This vehicle is now being used for the new series due for release this year. Can upload other photos of car when I work out how. She is a 63 car.	2013-02-03 21:10
Ford Transit Diesel MkI Endeavour (2012)	dsl	cl82 wrote The Transit was built in Langley during its first years (1965-72) before production was switched to Southampton. Have just read that Langley was originally the factory where they made the Supermarine Spitfire in WW2; the Southampton factory was originally where they made the Hawker Hurricane. So the Transit has aviation heritage running through its veins.	2012-09-13 15:25
1954 Morris Minor Traveller Endeavour (2012)	ingo	@dsl: a very remarkable find here: Link to "www.ardmediathek.de" (after 1:54 about the re-introducing of expired county-codes on German plates) Not only that Minor Travellers were always extremely rare in Germany (AFAIK there ws no official import at all), this one has an original registration of the county Zell upon the river Mosel, which was terminated in 1969	2012-07-14 15:21
Ford Transit Diesel MkI Endeavour (2012)	cl82	That's alright. I didn't know that for a long time, too.	2012-07-07 01:27
1965 Triumph 1300 Endeavour (2012)	dsl	Genuine issued London combination and HYR 57xC series comes up with a couple of hits as Triumph (579 = Herald 1147cc and 574 = TR4A) issued Sept 65, but nothing apparent for a 1300. I guess a dealer batch.	2012-07-06 16:38
1965 Triumph 1300 Endeavour (2012)	Sandie	Unveilled at the 1965 London Motor Show in October of that year. Fake plate then?	2012-07-06 16:26
1965 Triumph 1300 Endeavour (2012)	owlman	Why are there so many others starting at 1966? Because that was the first full year of production?	2012-07-06 15:22
1965 Triumph 1300 Endeavour (2012)	dsl	... because it's the only one with a definitely legible C plate.	2012-07-06 15:20
1965 Triumph 1300 Endeavour (2012)	owlman	The only '65 1300 on the site?	2012-07-06 15:11
Ford Transit Diesel MkI Endeavour (2012)	dsl	Thanks - I sort of knew Southampton was not the first production site and was uneasy about claiming Dagenham, but am not a van man so was at the limits of my knowledge.	2012-07-06 01:19

1953 Standard Eight Endeavour (2012)	dsl	You've convinced me.	2012-07-05 20:28
1953 Standard Eight Endeavour (2012)	Sunbar	Door handle position too high for A30/A35 (and wrong type with push-button?). Looks like a Standard Eight door (or Ten) 90% certain from the details seen http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/lsNP5spIZ9fuzZDzbquFfg source: http://www.simoncars.co.uk/standard/standard8.html -- Last edit: 2012-07-05 20:18:43	2012-07-05 20:13
Ford Transit Diesel MkI Endeavour (2012)	ingo	But... /vehicle.php?id=511034 The Capri 3.0 was built in Britain, also all for the German market. The early MkI for sure, but I don't know about the following models. As Wiki says http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Capri the 1973-MY for sure. Some months ago there was a story about a Capri-freak in one magazine, where he told a lot of such details. The UK-made Capris were made with inch-bits and -measures, the German in the metric system. This cause the problem, that you cannot exchange the most parts between a D-Capri and an UK-Capri.	2012-07-05 20:00

1954 Armstrong Siddeley Sapphire 346 Series II Endeavour (2012)	johnfromStaffs	"I'd change all my Fords for an Armstrong Siddeley..." At the time, among the cars in my family were: - 1951 Whitley (GBO 838) then 1953 Sapphire 346 (NYO 817) then the 1953 Bentley which I still have. I have fond memories of the Siddeleys, and of the Uncle who owned them, and still have the handbook for the Sapphire. My Dad at the same time had a Citroen Super Modern 12 (BEA 192) (and I have the handbook), followed in 1955 by a Morris Cowley (PUK 394), bought new, and I have the workshop manual. -- Last edit: 2012-07-05 13:38:00	2012-07-05 13:28
1954 Armstrong Siddeley Sapphire 346 Series II Endeavour (2012)	zodiac	dsl wrote Seems like another Sapphire 346 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Dj1MxMW0QQ We here at Imcdb are quite priviledged, as we can watch the most unusual and exclusive cars, many of which at the time would have been almost unobtainable for most people. I remember my uncle telling about some relatives coming home when he grew up having the most exclusive car imaginable. Today that would have been a Ferrari, Aston Martin, Rolls Royce or a Bugatti. Back then it was a Fiat 1500 Convertible http://www.autoviva.com/fiat_1500_cabriolet/photo-version/36695 . I'd change all my Fords for an Armstrong Siddeley... -- Last edit: 2012-07-05 12:49:14	2012-07-05 12:47
1963 Bedford CAL 15cwt Mk2 Endeavour (2012)	Sunbar	Bedford CAL 15cwt Mk2, 1959 onwards but this has the later aluminium sliding window surround that was changed from rubber on the early models. -- Last edit: 2012-07-05 11:23:02	2012-07-05 11:21

1957 MG Magnette Varitone [ZB] Endeavour (2012)	johnfromStaffs	You cannot say this as the wrap around rear window was only applied to the ZB Varitone, but to make things more complex you could specify the Varitone in a single colour. It's amusing to see that a car, which when new cost about £1,000 is being offered on the forecourt several years later for £1,688. In reality in 1965 a ZA/ZB Magnette in average condition would have made about £500 on a good day. -- Last edit: 2012-07-05 09:57:57	2012-07-05 09:47
1954 Armstrong Siddeley Sapphire 346 Series II Endeavour (2012)	johnfromStaffs	The Star was not introduced until 1959, and this is not a 234 or a 236 which were built on a different body, so, therefore, your assessment is correct.	2012-07-05 09:40
1959 Jaguar Mk.I modified with 3.8 engine Endeavour (2012)	johnfromStaffs	It is to be hoped they updated the original Dunlop disc brakes with a 3.8 engine!	2012-07-05 09:36
1965 AEC Reliance by Neepsend Endeavour (2012)	owlman	Well if it makes you that happy, here's another angle	2012-07-05 06:02
Endeavour (2012)	owlman	nzcarnerd wrote This programme played here just last week. That small grey unknown BMC car was seen whole in one shot as I remember - can't recall though whether it was an A30 or 35. Hmm, I didn't see it. Maybe that scene was cut from this version. dsl wrote As the 240 is a well known film car, I'd be surprised if it was really damaged. Any shots of the axe moments to work out what really happened? Mostly glass, so not so bad I guess. Broken windshield, a surprisingly small dent on the front from a blow that also popped up the hood (photo below), broken headlight, and two broken driver's side windows.	2012-07-05 06:00
Ford Transit Diesel MkI Endeavour (2012)	dsl	As I understand it, the Transit was a joint project between Ford UK and Cologne as the first move in the mid-60s towards creating an integrated Ford Europe - so the Transit was designed as a pan-Europe project to be produced in both UK (Southampton, though may have been assembled at Dagenham early on) and D, plus wherever else Ford had suitable European plants. So origin should at a purist level be UK and D together. In practice, it probably makes sense for us to use Origin UK on all UK examples and Origin D on all European ones, possibly modified by Made in (wherever) for any local assembly. UK Origin would also apply for RHD assembly elsewhere - eg ZA, Aus, NZ etc. If anyone can add to or correct this scenario - please do. Am not sure - for instance - of the design responsibilities for later Transits; however Southampton assembly carried until well into the 2000s. The Capri was the first jointly developed car in Mk1 form, so we can use the same Origin convention between UK and D. I think Mk2 & 3 updates were German-led, but AFAIK UK production continued into the Mk3 era although final cars were all D-made. This topic could run and run - for instance all Mk1 Escort design responsibility was UK, and at launch assembly was UK and Belgium only, with no D assembly until mid 69. And there is an argument that the Cortina Mk3 was basically a German design within the TC1 project, with minor UK input to create different bodywork (which was really a blatant rip-off of the 1967 Victor [FD]). Within all these divisions the UK and D engine families remained separate for Capri, Transit, Cortina/Taunus for much longer than the design responsibilities.	2012-07-05 02:46

Endeavour (2012)	nzcarnerd	This programme played here just last week. That small grey unknown BMC car was seen whole in one shot as I remember - can't recall though whether it was an A30 or 35. I am sure many would have winced when the women took to the Jaguar (the dark coloured 240?)in the car sales yard with an axe.	2012-07-05 01:31
1954 Morris Minor Traveller Endeavour (2012)	dsl	1954 Morris Minor Traveller Series 2 seems to be the starting point, updated with some 63+ elements. Probably why they only film it on a dark rainy night. DVLA details for 795 DMC are: Date of Liability 01 07 2013 Date of First Registration 03 12 1954 Year of Manufacture 1954 Cylinder Capacity (cc) 1098cc CO2 Emissions Not Available Fuel Type PETROL Export Marker N Vehicle Status Licence Not Due Vehicle Colour GREEN Vehicle Type Approval Not Available. Engine size supports the idea of a 1954 car with substantial 1963+ updates. -- Last edit: 2012-07-05 15:50:08	2012-07-05 01:08
