Does anybody remember a TV program that featured a blue mk1 827 fastback as an undercover Police car. It was a documentary similar to Road Wars, but much earlier. I seem to remember it being honed around a lot and want to try and find it on youtube, but cant remember the name of the show.

I have that on DVD. It was a pc called Snook and he drove a blue 827 fastback around Swinton, Greater Manchester. I can't remember the name of the show but I'll try and find the disc with it on. I knew recording lots of tv was a good idea !

SNOOK and DEER...

Remember the names from a police program many years ago, bit of a running joke in our family.
Don't remember a 827.
Think they were part of the Manchester crime unit....

I don't think it was x cars, I think it may have been earlier. I remember 1 chase when an unmarked red Peugeot 205 got in the way and they get really angry!

The one I'm thinking of was Car Wars.
