KAR120C

I have just been watching a DVD of the first episode of The Prisoner. There are a couple of things that I have not previously clocked, partly as this is the first time I have seen this since seriously getting going on my Locost project, i would be interested to know if anyone else is interested in this particular car.

1 It has steel wheels and hubcaps, not alloys
2 I remembered it as green with a yellow nose but on the DVD it looks black.
3 No Rollbar
4 red bench seat upholstery with cream piping.

Does anyone have any other visual refferences for the actual car that was in the series? If I can figure out a way i will try and post some stills or movie from the DVD I think I need to find some special software ( mac) to do this.

Regards

Caber

Just done a DVLA check, it isn't coming up as a Lotus or a Carterham

It's a great series, I watched the whole box set over a weekend a while back. The last couple (directed by McGoohan himself) are just plain wierd though.

I even visited Portmeirion whilst staying in a friends cottage in Aberdovey. The size of Number 6's accomodation is rather surprising!
