In the TA section is OSJ 318 which is actually TB0563, restored from a pile of scrap by Tony Roodhouse, now sadly no longer with us, and now owned by his brother Roger. > > LTR 573 is TA1861 owned at the time by Alastair Naylor, and used in the filming of the TV series "Heartbeat". It was discovered in a barn by the character Greengrasss (seen alongside) and alledgedly restored by the village bobbie (policeman) Nick Rowan. The producer contacted me through the MGCC to ask how much such a car would be worth, so I consulted the classified pages of Motor Sport for the time and gave then an estimate of 100 old-fashioned British pounds. The car featured quite often in the series, all filmed in the beautiful Yorkshire dales. > > Happy MotorinG ! > > Roger > > On 30 Dec 2010, at 07:51, Steve S wrote: > >> The web site you're thinking of is here: http://www.imcdb.org/ >> >> - Steve Simmons >> - TC8975, LA, CA >> - http://www.mgnuts.com >> >> >> On 12/29/2010 9:45 PM, Syd Saperstein wrote: >>> >>> Was watching the Turner Classic Movies channel; "The Lavender Hill >>> Mob" c.1951 (old Alec Guinness movie) and saw great shot of a TC head >>> on in traffic, that approached the camera and then passed.
