It is indeed a great car fest!
One of the best TV series ever made in my humble opinion. The 2 films were great too.
Product placement was rife back then except that BL messed it up big time.
They supplied the New Avengers and The Professionals FOR A PRICE which was bad enough except that the cars kept on breaking down and they were kicked off the set. Ford then stepped in for free. Just goes to show how the rot set in a very long time ago.
I must find the footage of Lord Stokes giving an interview on BL back in the day. The poor bloke didn’t have a clue. Great salesman but certainly not a head of a large corporation.
Just my opinion but he and Leonard Lord completely messed it up.
