With some very nice resin bits from The Modelhaus and Drag City Castings(two truly reliable sources for resin parts ), I'm turning an AMT '67 Z28 into the RS/SS from the movie 'Better Off Dead." - Actually, I'm doing two versions of the car; a 'before and after' as seen in the film.

Purdey's MGB from The New Avengers. I've done it with the Aoshima/Airfix kit.
Steed's Range Rover from The New Avengers could be built from the ESCI kit.
Gambit's Jag XJ-S from The New Avengers could be built from the Hasegawa kit.

Could the 'The War of the Roses' Morgan be built from the Tamiya kit?
Mercedes-Benz 170V (Capt.-Lt. Heinrich Lehmann-Willenbrock's car) from Das Boot could be built from the heller/airfix kit.
The Citroen 15/6 and '70 Cadillac Eldorado from Jaques Beinix's 'Diva' could be built from the Heller and the Jo-Han kits.

Cool, I found that web site a couple years ago, and started the same project. It kinda stalled, as with so many of my WIPs. I have all the parts, its just a matter of getting to it. I also have the 65 ElCamino from Hollywood Knights in the works.

"Somebody" did a resin Plymouth Belvedere body and interior. I've seen really good replicas of Adam 12 done this way.

Somewhere I have a '71 Riviera in resin. It's really bad, but if I can find it I'll build it! Don't even ask where it came from 'cause I cannot remember.

Squad 51's rescue truck is possible with the old Lil' Red Truck and a bunch of sheet plastic, and resin wheels, and bumper, and and and more stuff.

Model Roundup offers a resin conversion of Andy's Mayberry squad car.

WOW, you like your movie cars, ay? Great jobs, the whole lot of them!

[mrmike]

Thanks Christian! I've been told that I watch too much TV!

[Agent G]

AMT '49 Ford, Lt Ed Exley, and '51 Chevy, Detective Bud White, cars from LA Confidential. I don't remember but I believe the movie Ford was a '50, so a grill swap is in order.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned this, or it might just be due to a generation gap, but AMT's 2006 Chevy Camaro Concept into Bumblebee from the Transformers movie. You could also build an early VW into the TV cartoon version of Bumblebee. Another possibility from the newer Transformers movies with some minor reworking is Optimus Prime from Revell of Germany's Peterbilt 359 kit.

Jim Rockford's Firebirds could easily be made from the MPC Trans Am kits.

Emma Peel drove a Lotus, which could be built from the Gunze kit.

In the trailers they both rode in the Bentley several times

Not only in the trailers, but also in the show. Whenever they went to some place by car, they used Steed's. Whenever Emma Peel drove somewhere on her own, she used first a white Lotus Elan, later a light blue metallic one:





Steed not only drove Bentleys. I know of the following cars:

AC Greyhound in The Sell-Out
7061 MK Triumph Herald in Warlock
CPT 75 a 1930s Lagonda in Traitor in Zebra
GK 3295 another 1930s Lagonda, a 2 Litre Speed Model Low Chassis, in Don't Look Behind You
XT 2276 a 1924 Blue Vauxhall 30-98 in The Gravediggers, The Thirteenth Hole
VX 897 Olive Green Land Rover SWB Soft Top in A Sense of History, Never, Never Say Die
OPC 104D Olive Green Land Rover SWB Soft Top in The Hidden Tiger
LPH 800D Maroon AC 428 Convertible in Invasion of the Earthmen

NOTE: Very rare (19 or 29 were built, depending on the information source) with coachbuilt body by Frua of Italy. Meant to be Steed's car for the Thorson season, driven by him only in this episode, then given to Tara. Not an "AC Cobra" as is often cited.

My Wildest Dream, Bizarre

UU 3864 Yellow 1927 Rolls Royce New Phantom Tourer in Who Was That Man I Saw You With? Requiem, Thingumajig, Take-Over

Steed drove the following Bentleys:

UW 4887 4½ Litre in The Master Minds, Too Many Christmas Trees, Dead Man's Treasure

NOTE: the same registration appears on a different Bentley:

UW 4887 3 Litre in Small Game for Big Hunters, The Danger Makers, A Touch of Brimstone, The House That Jack Built, How To Succeed....At Murder, Dead Man's Treasure

NOTE: yet another Bentley with the same registration as above appears to be used in the monochrome end credits.

XR 6056 3 Litre in The Hour That Never Was and Man-Eater of Surrey Green.
This car has chassis number 544, and is currently located in the United States.

RX 6180 1926 Green Label Speed Six in From Venus With Love, Escape in Time, The See-Through Man, The Bird Who Knew Too Much, The Winged Avenger, The Living Dead, The Hidden Tiger, Epic, Something Nasty in the Nursery, The Joker, Who's Who???

YT 3942 1926 3 Litre Green Label in The Positive Negative Man, Mission... Highly Improbable, Split! Have Guns - Will Haggle, The Curious Case of the Countless Clues, The Forget-Me-Knot

NOTE: this car also appears once in The New Avengers.

So Steed actually drove Bentleys in only roughly half of the episodes.

Sorry. I'm a total Avengers junkie.
