There was a Vauxhall Viscount featured in a television series of the 60's/70's - either the spy or detective flavour - anyone remember what it was?


Yes, Peter Wyngarde drove a Vauxhall Viscount in Department S ;) ;)


That's the one Lizzie :-* :y :y

Trouble is Zulu my memory is now playing tricks!  Am I really right about Department S, or was it Jason King - but in that I think Peter Wyngarde had a Rolls / Bentley?????????? :-/ :-/ :-/ :-/ :-/

No I think you're right enough, I was stuck with Wyngarde playing Jason King in the series of that name where he did indeed drive a beautiful Bentley Continental series 2 (I think)

I forgot about him also appearing in Dept S.

I've got a price in mind & have been outbid...just so someone is pushing to see the price. I'll leave it til the end now & dive in at last knockings with my maximum bid.
   I want it though. In my minds eye it's already in the workshop being fettled. 8-)

Lovely as it is i'm letting this one go. I had a figure of around £12/1300 in mind. It's nearly there, i reckon she'll fetch £15/1600 which i'm sure she's worth but i really want another old Ford so i'm stopping at my price. I have however bought another little classic for a grand including the tax. Totally different i know but the idea is:- Play around & enjoy it for the last of the clement weather (plenty of twisty b roads here), i've got thinners & hardner left from spraying the Rover & having hardly any panels can buy the paint for £70, sell on next spring for at least 2k....Cortina time!!

   I know it's a rubber bumper model but if not convinced look at the prices of others & what the seller has spent in parts & labour, i'm getting the car for peanuts. Ins. forroy still running so swap over & picking her up on saturday.
