The one in the Sweeney is gorgeous but, let’s be honest, the Guv’s is the best really, as is always the case! If you're referring to the Roman Bronze Consul 3.0 GT that Jack is driven around in by Bill then we have two threads on here relating to the actual car's restoration: NHK 295M Restoration
NHK295M - is this real ?
We don't have many pictures here yet but as mentioned in the first thread, we are in contact with the owner and will give any news over and above that given on Facebook on here when we receive it. Sam.

Fantastic car that one, thanks Sam. That was not the same type of Consul which I drove, the Sweeney version was a Mark 1 Granada variant, the original Ford Consuls were made between 1950 and 56 (mark 1) and 1956 and 62, (mark 2) which is the version I drove once.

There's a poll in this ! Not what is the better car, but which is your favourite, with a list of the Sweeney cars, LOM cars and A2A cars if anyone is interested. The only 'brown' cars I have seen that are modern are Porsche 911 Carrera 4S. I saw one just the other day.

My favourite Sweeney cars are the brown Granada/Consul and the white, P regd Mark 3 Cortina.
Ive seen a couple of Fiat 500s in a kind of beige/brown colour recently

That white Cortina Mk3 on The Sweeney is what got me hooked on Cortys. I was loving NHK295M when watching the shows and I've got a fascination for Granadas as we don't have them in Aust. but that white Cortina influenced me to hunt (for two years) to find my own. It keeps me poor but happy.

But I’m afraid my allegiance will have to remain with the mighty Quattro, despite loving all the others. But I can be outvoted gracefully, I don’t mind :p

Ignore the green eyed monsters Bols. You'll always be kicking uphill with a poll of Sweeney/LoM/A2A cars especially in a dedicated Sweeney section.

Who allowed a stripper to drug him and handcuff him to his own bed?? You two are really fixated on Danny, aren't you? What I really want to do to you is exactly what I did to Gene when he suspended me and told me I didn't try and see Molly, Tyler, and I'm sure he'll vouch for the fact that it hurt
