It didn't matter that they got the cars wrong. It was Tyler's perception of the 70s, not the actual 70s because he was in a coma. So he was bound to get some things wrong. I speak from experience. Comas are crazy.
Ah, you're kidding me. This was 12 years ago. I owned a Cortina 2000 GXL K reg in 1977 and it had a vinyl roof. It was in Electric Blue and it was great for pulling. I loved that car but watched it slowly rust around me by 1980 when I got rid. 2009 wasn't that just after the crash that we are still suffering from as well as this deadly disease. Good times!
The Mk3 Ford Cortina was launched in late 1970 replacing both the Mk2 Cortina and Corsair. The top of range model was the 2000GXL, and like the GT were the only models with twin headlamps, (cheaper models had single headlamps). In 1973 there was a facelift and all models now had square headlamps except the base model that remained with round lights), and the 2000GXL became the 2000E. The metallic bronze Life on Mars car has the registration KJM212K, so that would be 1971/72, but has 2000E badges with the earlier twin headlamp front.
This is why I think clarkson should be the P.M and philip glenister should be his number two in charge.. imagine how brit would be with them in charge lmao
The GXL DID have a vinyl roof Jeremy. You don't know as much as you think. So did The 2000E and the 2000GT. Also the GXL had 'Rostyles' and NOT 'Ford Sports rims' as the LOM Cortina had which added to the fact that it was a 2000E. Let's not get onto the dashboard!
both as good as each other but ashes to ashes actually explain gene and his world hecreated sending all dead coppers whereas in life and mars you see sam struggle but then he comes to accept the world he lived in then as you know dies by jumping off a roof
There doing another version of the show set in the 1960"s and in keeping with the David Bowie song titles with the show and they are going to call it the laughing gnome.
Much more softly spoken and reserved out of character Gene, yet he is legendary and hot. Clarkson would make a brilliant footloose cop - equal to Glensiter if he were to be cast for a same or shared role in Ashes to Ashes. The offensive charm should never have rolled over and died, I feel more threatened by feminism than the liberal spool of comical lad rants of the past.
This was broadcast only 15 or so years ago, but I'm betting they wouldn't show anything like it now, everything is too bloody woke. It would offend too many people lol.

Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes were absolutely brilliant. Very, very thought-provoking. Gene Hunt was the business.
i'm actually from the year 2050 and got hit by a hovercar and now i'm stuck here :/
No you aren't supposed to tell people about that!
Liar lol
I think you’re mad or something.
What's wrong with 2021? We have more charm than 2050
Seems weird seeing him with a southern accent, and without the massive chip on his shoulder ;)
It’s always weird seeing a southerner without a chip on their shoulder ;)
The beginning where they were talking about details just pictured John Simm going 'God is in the detail.'
awesomelyizzy God is in church smartass, love that show!
God is everywhere, Jesus is lord
Get the Gene Genie back on for another lap!
FIRE UP THE QUATRO!

my 1973 1.6 L had a vinyl roof from the factory, they could be ordered as mine was and its on the orig receipt
Knowing there won't be any more of this...
Still, look at how small that audience is! By the end they had an 11-year waiting list!

The UK gave the world great musical talents like The Sweet, Mott the Hoople, T-Rex and of course, Def Leppard!!!!!
Led Zep!
Thanks, I've been looking for this clip.
Thank god for British Rock,
i bet those 2 would be perfect best friends i bet jermey just loves him
This is why I think clarkson should be the P.M and philip glenister should be his number two in charge.. imagine how brit would be with them in charge lmao
Well, we might be the best country on earth with them in charge.
like boris isn't bad enough?
YESSSSSSSSS......
Love this
Philip and Jeremy are so right aboutthe music. It sucks these days
That comment was left 14 years ago. It's now 2024, and I'm sad to report that it's even worse now.
well said Philip
gutted ashes to ashes if finished :(
Watching the series recently I spotted the GXL / 2000E thing. I thought I was a nerd 😂
the GXL did have a vinyl roof ?
i had a 2000 gxl with a vinyl roof
So Jeremy was wrong?
❤

Wrong about the vinyl roof jezza! vinyl roofs WAS included on the mk 3 glx!!!

can anyone tell me what season is this??
@theSkippyspartan They're getting a new car this coming series. Methinks the Manc Lion should come back and give the Chevy Cruze a go!
Phil Glwnnistet is a badass
Where'd you think you've come? In our first wet lap TWSS :L
But I disagree with Jeremy about golf coz It's a great sport
No-one does the timing of one liners better perfect timing
Wow, Clarkson interviewing his replacement. No better man to take his place though.
This is one time when I'll actually watch something from Top Gear.
What's better; Life on mars or Ashes to ashes 😂
both as good as each other but ashes to ashes actually explain gene and his world hecreated sending all dead coppers whereas in life and mars you see sam struggle but then he comes to accept the world he lived in then as you know dies by jumping off a roof
