I've only skim-read, so at least some of these have probably been posted up before, but off the top of my head:

Only Fools & Horses- Del Boy's Capri Ghia (They used at least 2 different cars, one a mk2 and one a MK3), The Crayford MK2 Cortina he sells in "Go West Young Man", and in "Chain Gang" there was the 3dr Cossie you see a glimpse of in the car park, and Mike's XR3i

Minder- Various Capris, Escorts, Cortinas, Transits etc, loads

The Professionals- MK2 RS2000, Capri 3.0 S, MK2 Granada Ghia X 2.8 etc

Spender- 2WD Saff Cossie, and did he not have a 4x4 in later episodes?

Coronation Street- That Orange MK4 Escort XR3i with the flames and whaletail (it was just one graphic vinyl covering thing, it was white underneath, saw it for sale on eBay just after it was used for that couple of weeks), and loads of run-of-the-mill Fords over the years, Kevin Webster always used to have a Escort 1.6 LX MK5 Facelift, now has a Focus, Roger the plumber has a MK6 Escort Van, Audrey Roberts has a MK6 Fiesta etc Oh, and Brom's Cossie, in picture form only!

Eastenders- I never watch this myself, but did see a clip when Shane Ritchie (Alfie?) had a Capri 280

Brookside- Ron Dixon was it? Had a 2.8i Capri

Boon- In one of the early series when they had the hotel in Birmingham, an old mate of his turned up in a hired 3dr Cosworth

Life On Mars- MK3 Cortina

Shoestring- MK3 Cortina Estate

Dempsey & Makepeace- MK3 Escort 1.6i Convertible

The Living Daylights- Am sure I remember a MK5 Cortina in that?

Father Ted- MK4 Cortina

Keeping Up Apperances- MK4 Cortina

Lock, Stock- MK2 RS2000

Rise Of The Footsoldier- S2 RST (well, a 3i rep), MK3 XR3

errrrm, I'll think of more, lol

Anyone remember the white Saff in Casualty (i think) years ago?
Two lads nicked after blocking the owners driveway, then down the road realised there was a baby in the back... then crash... then ambulance... then hospital....

Also, a 'maxed up' Orion (citrine yellow i think) in Human Traffic, when they go to the house party.

105E Anglia in The Young Ones

Mercury Grey XR3i in Only Fools and Horses, belonged to Mike the landlord in the episode with the diamonds and ambulances

Not a Ford, but does anyone remember the Lotus Carlton in Spender? Has the piss taken by a 911 Turbo driver i think (long time ago, and i was only about 6 yrs old staying up late!!!)

Mike C

I mentioned that, but it was gold chains, not diamonds, and it was red, not Mercury Grey, lol
