Part of the Furniture
it was my car they used for the reconstrution, the copper on the programme did say it was an xr3i that was seen but im unsure if it was. The TV company approached the RS Owners Club specifically asking for a white series 2, surely if it was an xr3i used in the crime they could have quite easily got hold of one. They said they were going to give me different plates for the filming but they never did so if your eagle eyed you can see my reg on it (G835). Also helped in the reconstruction and in a few scenes you can make out me and our dragon in the car 
she reckoned it was a sierra chasing them i think
and they reckon she hid the knife down her boot beacuse they checked the tank and couldn,t find it

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
