No, I don't think it's a citroen, they normally had a single-spoke steering wheel. But I think you're right with it being French; it's so utilitarian. Renault Dauphin?

Sorry, it's not a french motor.

Is it a Fiat?? That blue looks like a Fiat camper a mate had when I was young-er.

Looks Volkswagen-y too.

Hit the nail on the head mate, beer for you.

Now for the next one...............

OK, the manufacturer supplied cars for two TV detective series, 1st series was quintercentially English, the 2nd a bit of a skit on the international scene.

Question:- Name the car in the photo and an extra beer for the other model in  the first TV series .

Thats a series one Interceptor and the car in the first series was a Volvo P1800, the programe was The Saint

The link is that Jensen built the early P1800 bodies but did a pretty crap job of it and they all rusted as only Jensens can. Volvo soon cut them out and built them elsewhere.

Seeing as this bloody thunder storm's keeping me awake tonight, thought I'd log in and have a look. Go with me as I think aloud...

Is it's an XJS, if so that's The Saint with Ian Ogilvy and the other is maybe Patrick Magee in the New Avengers? But the gear knob's wrong, as is the rest of it really so I know it ain't that. My head is shouting "Stag Stag Stag" but it looks too way big, and indeed special for a Triumph interior with MFI wood, so perhaps it's an Aston from the Persuaders? But then again it's the wrong colour for Brett's DBS? And it's not an Aston interior.

Grrr, I'm never gonna sleep now...

Thanks Dr S, of course it's a big Jenny, I can nod off now happily dreaming of 10mpg fuel consumption...

Ah but it's not my car!  ;) Still 25mpg from a non-turbo Soob forester is no laughing matter...

Am I going senile?  I don't remember another series of the Saint in 1989.  I would have watched it just for the Jensen.  Its not been on UK Gold

Anyway, I'm not going to tell you what I think the car is, but its registration number is OND 954P

If you google the reg number, you get the details of the 89 series.
 
Not sure if the link works as I am doing it from a blackberry.
