Very good unaided car knowledge, but one car is incorrect and another isn't quite correct but near as dammit.

Re: Name these 12 cars
I think I know the characters for 4 and 7 but no idea what they drove, some 70s Yank tanks

Correct Andy. Apparently Colin Dexter was furious when the TV production companyLightweight_911 wrote:.

changed it for the Jag and John Thaw hated driving it according to his wife and others.
Theories for changing from a classic Lancia to the Jag were
1. British public wouldn't be able to relate to a foreign classic car.
2. But most likely because you need 2 vehicles in the same colour for this
type of show in case of accidents or breakdowns. It would have been difficult and
expensive to source 2 classic Lancia's in the same colour.
Also Colin Dexter didn't mention a model. Most seem to guess it would have
probably been an Aurelia or Flaminia.

Ah I see, I was assuming it was the car belonging to the character, but you are looking for a Vauxhall Magnum.richkaz wrote:Close association. but never seen a car called a Dirty Harry.DustyM wrote:So is 4 not Dirty Harry?

Re: Name these 12 cars
I suspect it was powered by a 440 Magnum, so a Dodge Charger/Challenger

Re: Name these 12 cars
So 7 must be Kojak.
I can’t remember what he drove, but will guess at a Cadillac....
No idea on the others that are left at all. I think the Columbo Peugeot was a 304 convertible?
