Forgotten cars from TV series - Doyle's Ford Escort RS 2000
12/06/2016
Their names were Raymond Dolye and William Andrew Philip Bodie and they were part of a special task force called CI5, which had been set up to fight crime. "The Professionals" (or "Die Profis" in the German dubbed version) was the name of the television series, which appeared in the original from 1977 to 1981.
It goes without saying that the battle with terrorists and violent criminals was action-packed, and of course the boys also needed suitable vehicles. After a few attempts with Leyland products, mainly Ford models were used, and Doyle was allowed to drive a 1977 Ford Escort RS 2000 with a black vinyl roof.
It almost goes without saying that he was often standing more sideways than straight on the road. Unfortunately, the car was stolen in the course of filming, so that more Capri models were seen on camera afterwards, with which the program, which is still shown on various television stations today, is associated.
Anyone who loves Ford models from the seventies and eighties will definitely not miss out on the pros; the Granada can also be seen, as well as the Taunus of the time, which was known as the Cortina in Great Britain.
