It's rumoured that the RS2000 was stolen and that's why it vanished from filming

That's good to see it is still around, I thought it was stolen whilst they were filming like the rumours said. Are there any photos of it kicking around?

I read an article a few years ago in classic ford iirc, two fella's who I think were members of the capri club international owned the two capris that featured in the show, one had bodie's and the other fella had dolye's,

iirc a PI was hired to find one of the cars which was discovered in a lock up with no wheels etc and needed some tlc to mint it back up

cowley's 2.8 ghia granada has a false plate on it during filming as a granada enthusiast searched for this car too, unfortunately he traced to a breakers and by the time he got there the car was crushed into a box shape and had gone to the great scrap yard in the sky

as for the RS sorry I didn't know jack about that until I read the above link

With one exception, none of the Professionals cars has ever been officially notified as being scrapped but its a foregone conclusion that many of the "missing" ones have been

Martin Shaw appears on the tv from time to time, have not seen Lewis Collins for a while though and sadly Gordon Jackson who played Cowley has been dead for a few years now
