Ah, those were the days, when you could advertise a car by making a virtue of how fast it goes! Do that now and you'd be in prison for ever....

Ha! Excellent. I never liked Triumphs before, but now I want one. Maybe they should come with something to help them avoid detection, like a radar jammer.... oh, but wait...that's prison forever again isn't it?

I wouldn't worry, we're all in prison now!

Ha, great stuff.

I’m rather liking Officer Plods Jag in that ad. Of course it would need to a Broadspeed V12 coupe...

LOVE that Jag. Made famous by Steed in the New Avengers!

I also rather like the look of the TR7 rally cars which were originally fitted with a highly tuned version of the Dolly Sprint 16valve engine before the Rover V8.

The Dolomite always seemed a bit dull and old fashioned to me, so taking it’s cutting edge engine and putting it into a ‘modern’ car was appealing.

Of course both the Dolly and TR7 were absolute piles of unreliable junk even back in the day, let alone today as a 50 year old antique.

I’ll stick with muscle cars thanks (even though mines not turned a wheel all week)

Whilst still mulling over classic cars and the Dolomite, a bit of old school trivia...

TV cop show ‘the professionals’ was better known for Capris and an RS2000, but in the early episodes the cops drove a Dolly sprint.

Probably changed to Fords when the Dolly’s head gasket blew. again.....

Must be the Corona virus but I’m warming to some of the classics in that original ad...

The professionals used BL cars in the first series but they were always breaking down and there was no continuity so they went to Ford.

Last episodes had the silver and gold 3.0 Capri's and the blue Granada 2.8 Ghia. The blue Granada is gone (was missed from crushing by a day apparently) but the Capris are all safe and worth a fortune. There were all sorts of continuity errors with registrations etc but just reflected the generally shambolic filming at the time.

Yeah, I think the picture in the ad is misleading the cop hasn't pulled the Dolomite over, I think they've actually both broken down and are waiting for the AA's low-loader...
