That's funny, I was thinking of doing a "cars in old cop shows" thread, starting with the Professionals. But couldn't be bothered.

Background cars only eh? I like this idea. This Fiat 130 Coupe drives past in The Sweeney, specifically one of the episodes with the ridiculous Australians in it. HOT TREDIA ACTION in Sonatine. It's parked up to the left. Nowt happens to it. And this lovely Lumina in Terminator 2, all kinds of things blow up around it, but the Lumina is fine. Excellent!

Cool thread I thought I'd try to find a film containing each of my cars.. Manta (cheating know but the only other thing I could think of was one being chased in an episode of Police Camera Action ;D ) Mk2 Escort in Lock Stock (cracking film, Retro's aplenty) (I realize it's an RS & mine isn't, but mine also doesn't have a roof..) Granny - could use The Professionals obviously, but that's a bit easy.. How about I Bought a Vampire Motorcycle (no, I'd never heard of it either!) HC.

Ronin - Rover Sterling, Citroen BX, Renault 5 van and Fiat Croma Audi A8 and Peugeot 605 An unsuspecting Citroen ZX police car gets sideswiped by the bad guy's E34 BMW M5 Ooh, where to start? The M5, Renault 9, MKII Golf, Lancia Delta HF, Citroen Xantia, Porsche 911 Carrera, original Range Rover, Renault 21 and 19 convertible, Peugeot 205 GTI and 406. "A obscure 2002 film called S1M0NE about a dried-up director (Al Pacino) who resorts to activating a dead fan’s fictional, graphically animated pop-icon – “Simone” - and manages then to fool the world into believing the program is a real person. Among the classics that play a significant role in the movie’s otherwise suspect plot are a Bentley S3 Continental “Chinese Eye” coupe, a Mercedes-Benz 600 Pullman, a Jaguar XJ8 (X308), Citroen DS, and an Alfa Romeo 2600 Spider that you’ve seen in any number of Fellini films." I've seen this film - believe me you're not missing much as a film in it's own right - but it's worth it for the cinematography on the cars.
