Two identical maroon Granada's were used in the 1978 and 1979 episodes. The registration YHJ 766T is a false registration used for filming. The real registrations of the cars were VHK 518S and FEV 24T. The latter car - whose genuine plate was accidentally left on the vehicle by the crew in a brief scene in 'A Hiding to Nothing' - was supplied just prior to the third filming block. The present whereabouts of both cars is unknown. The 1979 car (FEV 24T) was a '2.8i' model. The 1978 car (VHK 518S) was just a '2.8' (non fuel-injected). |

Not sure if the statement above "The registration YHJ 766T is a false registration used for filming. The real registrations of the cars were VHK 518S and FEV 24T" is correct as YHJ766T shows up exactly as it appears on the DVLA records. Perhaps this was a real car using its real reg but they used two stand in cars as well and changed their plates over? From CVLA records: YHJ 766T ✓ SORN ✗ No MOT Expired: 10 January 2015 Vehicle make: FORD Date of first registration: November 1979 Year of manufacture: 1979 Cylinder capacity (cc): 2792 cc CO₂Emissions: Not available Fuel type: PETROL Export marker: No Vehicle status: SORN in place Vehicle colour: RED Vehicle type approval: Not available Wheelplan: 2-AXLE-RIGID BODY Revenue weight: Not available |
