Fords/RS's used in TV/Films
i know there has been a post about them before but couldnt find it so il start a new one.
So what Programs/Films have you seen them in?
I know ''The Professionals'' used pretty much every ford in the late 70's early 80's..... like the MK2 Escort RS2000 & MK3 Capri 3.0S. They also used a MK2 Capri 3.0S X-Pack in one episodes.
Essex Boys had a 2wd Saph in one scene too
Rise Of The Footsolider had a S2 Rep...
Touch of frost had a 2wd Saph in, in one Scene
cant think of anymore...
anyone else?

There was a White S2 used in a reconstruction of that road rage stabbing a few years back... the one where it was his blonde lass that had done it in an argument, but had made up a big story about being chased through the countryside and gone on tv press conference to beg for info on it. I think the guys name was Lee, but cant remember his 2nd name.
Cheers,
Grant
