Just had a quick google & found this:-

Sticker set is different... I think this is a Zakspeed Escort, or a flat-front RS2000 with a Zakspeed replica kit.

And from live4cars' forum:

"I seem to remember a Zakspeed arched (the big box arches), flat front RS2000 with Harrier stripes being in the opening sequence of Minder."

terry was suppost to use this car in the serie but they though it was too pose for him so they use a capri

rubber ducky is quite correct, the Escort was thought of as being too flash for a guy like Terry so it was written in that he bought that white Capri instead. The Escort was still included as it was an expensive prop that needed some publicity

I always thought the Escort was fitted with X-Pack arches though.

Cycolac Fan is correct. It's a flat front X-Pac kit. Possibly one of the first. More subtle than the wild Zakspeed kit.

Not totally convinced by Harrier - side strips are similar but flourish on rear wing wrong way round. My hunch is RS 1800 but that usually had the blue stripes lower down - maybe the moved them higher up on the X-pack to avoid the rear vent. Or maybe it's just a boy-racered boggo Popular - we'll probably never know ...
