Ok thought this migth be an interesting thing to compile, to make a list and a webpage about.
Not just where they are spotted but if possible the number plate model & colour. Never know might be one or two of us own a film star without knowing it
Just watching Inspector Morse, Episode 2 The Silent World of Nicholas Quinn.
Theres a green Trav in it with pretty dark looking woodwork. Cant clock the number plate alas but there sone to get the ball rolling.
Flippin Eck !!! thats just what i had in mind - so they dont got the morse one - nor coronation st.
Amazed theres one in Amercan Graffiti - havnt seen that fo ryears will have to aquire a copy
The Steal. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0111285/
Even IMDB gives plot summary as "A tale of kidnapping, computer fraud and Morris Minors."
Good harmless fun but haven't seen it for years though
Bad Taste has a saloon in it - I posted a video clip a while ago.
ISTR Brain Dead has a van in it.
Apparently Meet The Feebles has a stretched limo Minor in it but I still haven't managed to see this film.

If it doesn't work, you're not hitting it with a big enough hammer.
badfelafel wrote:I know The Steal was mentioned, but its worth mentioning again - how often do you see a car chase with one minor van chasing another???
I fancy a copy on DVD so have just looked on Amazon.
It's available but at £19.99 too dear for me
I know, I've tried to get it! Saw it on TV ages ago - hope it will come back on again! It's not a bad film, and the chase scene is great! They call the vans a "Moggie Thou"
Theres a yellow 2 door in the background of one scene in "The World's Fastest Indian" starring Anthony Hopkins.
Also the other day i saw a grey convertable on an American show called "Gossip Girls" (My girlfriend made me watch it, the only satisfaction i got out of it was seeing that car!)
Well if you have ever seen a programme called Vroom Vroom on Sky around a year ago there was a man vs motor section and my green 2 door had to race against a Morris Dancer and all I can say is that we beat him by about half a yard
Cheers

Lovejoy 1968 Smoke Grey Traveller (gone to a new home after13 years)
theres a list there already. Just to add my minor and Davids, I think 3 of his collection anyway the traveller, blue 2 door and black 2 door were on film in breakfast on pluto. ( if ive left any of your stable out david sorry)
Stevey, you forgot to mention another Irish film called Mickey bo and me, set in the troubles in the early seventies. Quite a few minors in it but not mine this time!
Also your own moment of glory when you spent all day filming for a crimewatch scene, an unsolved case from the seventies. Crimewatch even got a result from that!
Wouldnt mind some more PAID film work, think the lowlight gona need resprayed......

Thats the coolest thing have heard on this board yet
Obviously the Morris Dancer wasnt one of your fellow mods or you might have lost
There is one in Signs (when the aliens are walking past an alley in south america) and I think there are a few hibcaps and things in Mad Max II in the compound!
