The person is right but not the car.......

Hi,
He spent more time in a P1800 than anything else ! Certainly more than under water in a Lotus.

QUOTE:
" 6. Volvo P1800 - The Saint Something fast, sporty and flashy was needed to match the style of the mysterious Simon Templar, first played by Roger Moore in the '60s. In the end, the Volvo P1800 was chosen over a similar Jaguar E-Type because of its sleek look and power (and, well, because Jaguar didn't want to supply one). Aside from a few cosmetic changes to the bumper, license plate and trim, the Volvo car remained unchanged during filming. Therefore, the car's elongated hood, rounded headlights and wide front grille remained unmistakable throughout the show's run. The exotic P1800 contributed to the smoothness Moore's character exuded, as he was often seen zipping through city streets in the two-door speedster. Cool fact: Roger Moore liked the P1800 so much that he bought one for himself."

Regards
Vintman

Well...
The original Saint (in the books) drove a red and white "Hirondelle" so is it a Swallow Sports, or SS 100?
And the original James Bond (in the books) drove a [supercharged] Bentley - a Derby one or a Mk VI - I can't remember which.

Yes, 50-odd years ago I devoured the Saint books and then graduated to James Bond

The car that I´m looking for is an obscurious one from a film!

Carnut · « **Reply #16 on:** October 11, 2009, 01:18:52 PM »

Well, in the same film in which his alter ego drove a Lamborghini Islero he drove a Rover 3.5 litre V8 so let's try that one!

Carnut · « **Reply #17 on:** October 11, 2009, 01:20:22 PM »

Or an ex-London Transport AEC RT bus in which the top got slice off...?

Carnut · « **Reply #18 on:** October 11, 2009, 01:22:05 PM »

Or how about the Sunbeam Alpine he drove in the first Bond movie, Dr No, in which he was incapable of seeing off a huge piece of 1940s Americana! Didn't say much for the Alpine's performance or handling, or perhaps Bond's driving...!

Arrgh no - forget that - that was Sean Connery! Silly me...

Carnut · « **Reply #19 on:** October 11, 2009, 01:23:50 PM »

Maybe the Ford Mustang then in which he drove into a narrow alley on only 2 wheels then drove out again on the other two...!

He also raced a TVR Grantura in an edition of 'The Saint'... but that's not special enough and neither is it from a film?
