a shame indeed,  a member on here has one of his 3.0l capris from the proffs.

Was just about to post the same. Very sad, no age really. I was a big fan of the professionals back in the day and still watch repeats sometimes even now. I came close to buying the white RS2000 (although I suppose there may have actually been more than one ?) but got talked out of it.
I still get reminded occasionally by swmbo (as they do) that 30 years ago I tried wallpapering a room while watching the Professionals at the same time. This resulted in three strips of wallpaper being cut several inches short,one after another.
R.I.P. Lewis. Thanks for the great programmes.

RIP 

Indeed and as above, 67 is far too young.

Note the iconic cars on the road at the time ....... what would the MKIIIs (there's only one MKIII  ) MKII Triumph & MKII and MKIII Capri be worth today 

[albitz]

They were all shite cars,but worth a tidy sum now. What price nostalgia ?
The RS2000 though was a decent car in its day and would still be good fun even now imo. In fact, with the right bits bolted on, it would embarrass quite a few modern cars.

The RS is a sweet handling car. The real fun would be in the twistys.

Prior to his acting career he also played in a few scouse'r bands, the most famous being The Mojo's in the 60's

Very sad news
After all these years of non stop research it is a mystery why Mankind still hasn't found a cure for deadly illnesses like Cancer yet can send men to the Moon, explore Mars, & build weapons that can target a man on the other side of the World taking a sh*t!

The original Mk1 Escort Twin Cam is worth crazy money today.

I've seen them advertised at £50,000 plus.....
