In the Simon & Simon / Magnum P.I. cross-over show that they made years
ago, in part two where the Simon brothers are down in Mexico trying to
recover something or other, they get in a car chase with a bad guy who is
driving a yellow TR7 and at the end of the chase, guess what? Yup, over a
cliff... end of another TR7.
What? Is that how BL got rid of leftover TR7s? Sold them to TV studios as
cheap cars to destroy? :-)
