	That's a 3-litre. They only have it in a couple of first series episodes. Can't find any pics though. Same here Hoops! It's my fave pastime for when I can't sleep. Pot of tea, jam sarnies and CI5!

	The MK2 X pack (Doyles car) was used in about four episodes (i think) in series one, it was a Ford press car at the time. There is a guy that built a stunning exact replica, video is on Youtube somewhere. Bodie drove a bronze MK2 3.0 Ghia in those early episodes.

	Ive heard it was an orinal X pack, its a 3.0s, reg is soo somting, its comes up on dvla as alive and is rumoured to be in a lock up in essex somwhere. 1 of the only prof cars to use its real plate. it was used a lot by ford press in the 70s too, there is a pick of it lined up with all the x pack cars available. I and others have tried to get it. SOO636R, have a punt.. there is a fake one too, which wears the plate for shows.

I've also heard it's in Essex somewhere, painted black (and pretty rotten sadly ) but i've been hearing that for years.

	They used to have a contract with British Leyland, but switched to Ford due to reliability issues! Typical.
