Only on British TV would a baddie escape on a Honda C50, pursued by a brown Allegro.

The cop was even nice enough to help him out of the water. A character like Dirty Harry would have just shot him.

Loved my brown Allegro mark 3 1.3 L, 1982 vintage, that I drove as a 19 year old in 1994. It was rusty but fun to drive

I don't think the producers and directors of Starsky & Hutch had a lot to worry about back in the 70s, eh? ^^

I loved the Allegro. All faults aside,I had more fun in this than my 2008 Peugeot 207 diesel. Would love a nice brown mark 1 with vynil seats and cassette player for all my old cassettes I haven't listened to for 10-15 years. Trips to the beach in my mark3 1982 Allegro in brown,a 1.3L, were fantastic. Suddenly I'm 19 again and it's 1994 😊

The most interesting thing about these older cops show are the engine sounds! Nowadays mobies just use false engine sound on a false it should be with shitty CGi effects. People drives real cars back then! I would love to live in the 1970s again perhaps!

What show was this...?!? I recognise the baddie in the light grey suit. He played the police boss in Dempsey and Makepeace. But this looks older than that show. Oh the glamour of being in a car chase with an Allegro. Loved the vicar!!

@gosportjamie 7 жыл бұрын

+John Smith The show is Julet Bravo from 1980. And you're right, the villain in this piece is Ray Smith who did indeed go on to play Chief Superintendent Gordon Spikings in Dempsey and Makepeace. Here he's playing robber Jimmy Harker. Poacher turned gamekeeper?...

Sorry, my mistake, after watching it again the Allegro was brown after all, its just that they were nearly all that mustard colour back then, I didn't realise they came in such an array of colours.

@garydunn3037 10 жыл бұрын

Our cars back then looked aweful, and the car chase scenes were ridiculous. The mk11 Escort had the aerodynamics of a brick, and so did the little Mini, and as for the Allegro or All-Aggro as some used to call it, it was so boring, just the car for the person with no sense of style or taste. Can anyone tell me how come the Allegro changed from that crappy mustard colour to chocolate brown during the chase? Maybe it had a dip in the river at some point.

Cops in CID the '80's often used Ford Escort Popular Plus. Normally two door at that.. never anything nice, just your average runabout. I had the same model, and it was infuriating if I was in a hurry and caught someone up as they invarably slowed to the speed limit thinking I might be the law.. Rule one, never buy the same as plod, buy better.

jo Shaw when I was 19, I'm coming 43 soon,I swapped a mountain bike for an Austin Allegro. It was brown,the wings were full of badly finished filler, resprayed in brown, and it had a faulty radiator hose that eventually spelt it's demise with a blown head gasket!! Back in the early 90s, this was one of a handful of cars I owned that didn't have insurance etc, but I had most fun in this one! Now I'm older and more sensible, and fully insured,I would love another Austin Allegro 1.3L in brown, mine was a mark 2 or 3. I'd ultimately prefer a mark 1 2 door with vynil seats and cassette player for all my rock and indie classics that I haven't listened to for a decade at least, whilst driving to the beach, the 90s were great with all my late 70s/early 80s bangers 😊
