Hi Chip,

   Morse was set in the mid 80's to early 90's. Midsomer Murders was set 
even later. One
episode in particular (Midsomer Murders) features a Pimento Red TR6 quite 
prominently as the
Car of one of the prime suspects, or perpetrator, I forget. You're right, 
great stuff to watch.

   I've copied many to DVD etc. One of the best for this is the old Saint 
series. A lot of Cars
and Countryside in those. I was watching one I had on my computer the other 
day from the Saint
Season 2. In black and white, episode" The Elusive Ellshaw" features an 
early Spitfire that actually
manages to get away from the Saint's P1800 with the help of a Train Crossing 
and such.

Cheers,
Wayne
64 TR4
69 Spitfire
75 TR6
