Default what car would be used for the 90's version of Ashes to Ashes

the 70's series Life on Mars was a mk3 Cortina,

80's Ashes to Ashes is an Audi Quattro,

what do you think the 90's series would have, if they do one?

Well I think it would have to be Escort RS Cosworth, perhaps the Limited Edition
Monte Carlo would look awesome I think.

i saw the cortina from the mars one at classic ford me mate didn't think it was the nicest mk3 cortina he ever saw,there was a transit bullion van there too that was kevlar bomb proof with inch thick glass and emergency escape hatches,it was in last nights episode which i missed. it was a solid ol thing but fookin hand painted

i hope to god they never use a escort cos as it will attract nob heads who won't leave you alone when your driving or filling up with petrol.

the quatro wasnt a 4dr

Would have to be an iconic car that everyone knows from the era so it can only be a Escos

It would be something proper iconic. There were a few decent motors that'd fit but I wouldn't like to choose.

Last night's episode was superb!! My mate's brother was the irish guy they arrested at the beginning

I'm thinking of the Essex boys (based on the same story)... 1 minute 28.
