inspector lynley

Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)

Oh sorry, you want to know what the car is?
My bad, it's a Bristol.

Yes yes, but the colour was remarkably similar. :D

"Peak Practice" was another show whose male leads ran about in classics; Kevin Whately in a rare, 4-door version of something that has slipped my mind for the moment and the Scouse fella in that show drove a red Volvo 122S.

Hmm, it could have been one of those and I'd accept that if you know that it definitely was, but I was thinking of something slightly more similar to the Maserati Quattroporte of the period in its looks. I'm probably wrong though and annoyingly, I can't find a clip anywhere in cyberspace that shows the scene in the 1st series where Dr Jack Kerruish (Whately) comes into view in the car in question. :?
