Well, is it? What movie or series has featured your car prominantly. I shall get the ball rolling. Using the trusty IMCDB (www.imcdb.org) this is what it bought up: Triumph Stag - Featured in Straw Dogs: Peugeot 205 GTi - Bugs The 106 GTi was featured in Clarkson's Top 100 cars... As for the Mondeo - Peep show was the best I could do. How about yours? I can see some people having a rather large post!

There was a Black Octavia vRS in the first series of Misfits according to IMDB. Not that amazing until I remembered that Misfits is filmed where I work quite frequently, Thamesmead, and I have seen them filming it before. (unlikely its mine though lol) Ax GTi - closest I can get is an Ax Sport in Clive James-Postcard from Paris

The man who haunted himself starred a Rover P5b A big part in 'Turks fruit' whatever that is 'Shooting fish' used an old coupe quite extensively from memory Lock Stock (big scene though hardly a major part) Also saw a few in Heartbeat and Lovejoy back in the day, George Gently drives one too, though that's a 6 cyl.. Cant find an Impreza wagon in anyone of it's 12 pages of results.. bah..

I know the guy that has owned the Miami 205gti that was used a few times By Clarkson, has been owned by a few PSCUK Members (formerly PSOOC, and before that the Peugeot GTI Club) Was known as the slowest but cleanest gti about, it was a particularly slow example but drove well The Wheeler Dealers 205 is a right slag, been through numerous 205gtidrivers forum members and changed quite a bit since Ed "fixed" the smoking egnine by replacing the gear rods ;D

Thing with IMDB car search is you can find "your" car in the backdrop of any show or programme somewhere LOL
Ones where your actual car was used is cool. Ones where an identical car to yours was the main vehicle in a car related film or show is also fairly cool.
None of mine have, to my knowledge, been on telly.
I had a Victor identical to the one in the original Randall & Hopkirk Deceased, several "life of Mars" or Sweeny Cortina Mk3s, a couple of Capris like the Professionals, and one like Minder. My ex wife had a few Minis like in the Italian Job. Frank Spencer had a Morris Minor in Some Mothers Do Ave Em and I had a few of them. etc etc etc
