This isn't the 80's follow on from Life on Mars is it?
- bozzzydmc - 07 Aug 2007
Yes your spot on Chris
"Ashes to Ashes " set in 1981.
Got back in late last night from Bermondsey, London
One day down , three more to go.
Time for dinner,
Im 'aving hoops...

It's being filmed in Bermondsey! ? I didn't realise it was that close. I live less then 10 minutes from there.

I take it then that the W reg plate was fake that was mounted on your car in one of the photos?
- Barson - 07 Aug 2007
interesting that your tax runs out in december, but you only bought the car in october :p :wink: :lol:

Well not really fake as this is now my registered number plate (which I have kindly allowed the BBC to use for filming
)The origional script called for a Porsche... which was to meet an untimely end by a crash and explosion ... something that is thankfully not now happening

nice one mike looks like you had a good day, not sure about the Alegro, some things wern't so good in the eighties :lol: TT
- Rich Hanlon - 09 Aug 2007
Hey - cool - I've just bought an Allegro to replace my Morris!! Does this mean there's an Allegro in it too? Wazzaaa!
My fleet is getting more publicity than ever!!
(PS - My Allegro is also in Silver with two fat black side stripes - seems to be a recurrent theme of mine!!!)
- Rich Hanlon - 09 Aug 2007
And its also a W-plate...
- bozzzydmc - 09 Aug 2007
There were a few V and W plate cars on set , its so funny to see these along side a D, it makes you realise how 'advanced' the car and styling was back then. The comments I had "is this a 1981 car???"
- dmcrobin - 09 Aug 2007
Excellent news, for my D and my Quattro - nice one.
- Rich Hanlon - 09 Aug 2007
Anorak alert - That's an Allegro 3 with those lights, high number plate, bumpers and wheel trims. In other words, 1979 onwards, therefore too new too new to be on an S-plate...

Yes it was very advanced, and so was the factory!

That Audio Quattro looks fantastic. I've always wanted one of those
