| The Sweeney (TV Series 1974-1978) | |
|
|
|
| Hard hitting Flying Squad drama starring John Thaw and Dennis Waterman as Det. Insp. Jack Regan and Det. Sgt. George Carter. The Sweeney boasts not only a kit-count second to none, but also some of the most breathtaking shots of 1970’s London. Many of the car chases and numerous fight scenes take place in London’s Docklands in the golden age after the ships had departed but before the emergence of monstrosities such as Canary Wharf. | |

|
|
| Although many of the cars featured are technically pre-Autoshite, there is no disputing the quality of the vehicles on display. Particular mention must go to Regan and Carter’s MkI Ford Consul and The Squad’s numerous other MkI Granadas and MkIII Cortinas. Haskins (‘Gov’) even drives a MkIII Humber Sceptre in one episode. | |

 | |
|
| John Thaw's finest hour. But for Waterman the best was yet to come... | |
|
|
|
| 54 episodes and 3 films spanning the mid 1970's. Pure passive spotting. | |
