Alexander ◊ 2006-06-07 14:27	If it is about the year coding, here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_car_number_plates DVLA is sometimes offline but a good source of information if you know the registration number and vehicle make. http://www.vehiclelicence.gov.uk/EvlPortalApp/ Go to 'Vehicle Enquiry'.

valiant1962 ◊ 2006-11-02 21:19	http://www.rootes-chrysler.co.uk/aussie-chry.html "Interestingly, about this time a blue CH featured in two episodes of the infamous ITV cop show ‘The Sweeney’. In one it was the steed of a pair of charming Australian con men and in the other a particularly nasty hoodlum’s motor."

It will be interesting to see the car/vehicle count after all seasons are completed for both. I have only three episodes to go from Starsky and Hutch first season. I reckon that there is 20-30 cars in those episodes so the total for the first season could be around 250 cars. 250 cars by 4 seasons is 1000 cars for the entire serie. Ofcourse I haven't add eg. all FoMoCo products because there have been so many of them, I add only if it's a new colour/model combination (for example Ford LTD). If it's okay with you I could continue with season 2 ?

Well, it will be like most of other series: at a point you do not find many new cars, they are just identical/similar models to those already listed and so they can go in the comments of existing cars. Which do not increase the number of cars of the series anymore

ronyart ◊ 2009-07-28 19:17	Hello I'm new to this site, but interested in the Wales & Edwards milk floats. I noticed on the Sweeny Ep 1.08 where you show the 1965 Austin Mini, there is the rear of a 3 whell wales & Edwards float. Any chance anyone could look to post a couple of frames earlier, where it would be easier and more clearly visable to see the float. Thanks. Great work by the way, wish I knew how to do this stuff.
