  • The best ever car chase involving the classic 1963 Volvo P1800 driven by Roger Moore through London in "The Saint" 1963 TV Series "Rough Diamonds". Of course the bad guys are driving a Ford Zephyr. Some classic old cars parked along the route too.
    BTW - There isn't a second part to this chase - the girl gets out of the Saint's Volvo, walks back , Zephyr pulls up and the bad guys talk to her (yes, she's one of them), and they do a U-turn.

    The Saint is so cool, he uses the turn signal during a car chase.

    Thanks for this contribution, _GiftsByTheGreen_. Most of the time, this series was excessively studio-bound, so it's nice to see them get out of Elstree and do a bit of location work, in what was actually quite a decently directed car chase. The only disappointment was the choice of pursuit car, a base-model Zephyr 4, when a nice top-of-the-range Zodiac would have made it a fairer race. I seem to recall that in action series back in the sixties/seventies, a Jaguar saloon was the bad boy's transport of choice.

    Remember back then Sweden stil drove on the correct side of the road, so the steering wheel was on the correct of the car by default.

    ...and notice at 1.33 another 1800 parked behind the mini to the right of the screen. I wouldn't want to try to steer an 1800 that tightly at speed, but perhaps my steering isn't as good now as it would have been when the car was new in 1966!!

    When they're on location in France, they show all of the actors driving Citroens. God, but those cars are ugly. In Italy, I bet they drive Fiats. Those are cute cars.
