Benny Hill

[Richard G]

Firstly I am not a Benny Hill fan!

Happened to see a Stag on a TV Benny Hill show.

Reg RVC 425H , must be one of the originals? Looked like Saffron in colour, doing a dvla check shows it as white, not mot or taxed.

But i quite liked Ken Dodd.

It was one of the original press fleet from the launch in 1970, originally white, did quite a bit of tv and film work, was stolen sometime in the 80's never to be seen again.

Peter Robinson put together a good article on stainless trim strips for the October 2021 magazine. There is some info on this, and other early Stags in that article.

In that picture....is that a Red BMW 635CSI ?.
I got a Burgundy one with Cream leather interior original 40.000+ miles when I got it in the late 90s. Now 66.000 miles. A lot of car for little money at the time.
One of the best cars I ever owned. Won't mind the M635 though.

RVC 435H is the reason I own a Stag.

Even back then, it looks as though the driver is looking at the temperature gauge!

and it's engine noise was dubbed with what sounded like a 4 cylinder tractor with a straight cut gearbox

And the guy standing next to the driver is asking him whether its 2 Dolomite engines stuck together.....

I figured he was telling him to push it out of the way and stop holding up traffic.

Rumour has it aston martin insisted on this as the Stag V8 made a better sound than their cars at the time...........
