A thread on the Professionals & not one pic of the RS2000, behave, it's the most famous car on there A bit of anorak info, they put an after-market glass sunroof in it after a few episodes, cos the interior shots were too dark.

Ahhh, Doyle's RS 2000...!!! It is currently undergoing a lenghty and very thorough restoration so keep 'em peeled right... The Professionals got me in to old motors and the 1970's so, personally, it has a heck of a lot to answer for...!!! Bloody love it...

By a very lucky chap indeed... He tracked it down when the true identity of it was discovered as it wears false plates in the show (it is actually R-reg' I believe!)... The car needs a ton of work but it still has the glass sunroof and the speakers in the sunvisors as seen on the show!!! He has been lucky enough to have owned a few Capri's that were used in the show too... Some people are just born lucky right

The new Avengers and the Professional were made by the same people.They had a contract with BL to supply the Avengers cars which over ran with the start of the Professionals hence the use of The Triumphs.The yellow Rover Cowley uses is reportedly the same one as used by Steed,the first car supplied by Ford was Tommy's black Capri.

I have the complete Professionals and The Sweeney box sets and watch them when I can't sleep. Even with knowing the story lines, there's so much to look at compared to a modern programme with all the old cars, clothes and period gadgets!

Love these old shows, have series one three and Four of the Professionals and series Two of the Sweeney, the Professionals led to me lusting after a Capri 3.0S, had a 3.0 Ghia 1st then was lucky enough to have had two 3.0S's over the years (a white one then a signal amber one), will get another some day, prices for good MK3 3.0S's are rising though.
The MK2 X pack survives, last i heard repainted white with blue motorsport stripes (sadly IMHO)
