This isn't the 80's follow on from Life on Mars is it?

[bozzzydmc]

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...

[Calavera]

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

[Chris Hawes]

I take it then that the W reg plate was fake that was mounted on your car in one of the photos?

[Barson]

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

[Tourettes Tony]

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]

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]

And its also a W-plate...

[bozzzydmc]

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]

Excellent news, for my D and my Quattro - nice one.

[Rich Hanlon]

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!
