Re: Just a nice period picture
Nope......, don't agree. That can't be Liverpool. For a start, all the windows are intact, no graffiti, cash machine still in place on left hand side.............

Re: Just a nice period picture
Who wouldn't love a pre facelift 2.5Pi Triumph? What a cracking thing they must have been, especially in white with those funky stainless wheel trims.

West Lulworth in 1964, could almost be a scene from 'Randall & Hopkirk (Deceased)'...

Re: Just a nice period picture
Definitely Get Carter, filmed in the Summer of '70, released in March '71 
Two different Mk2 Jags were used in this scene... In the scenes where Caine is seen driving the MkII Cortina he's being pushed into shot by some of the film crew, he didn't passed his driving test until about 1973.

Great website showing all the locations of the film here.

It is amazing how much has changed in the last 47 years even up here in the North. Very few of teh locations remain untouched, and many of the buildings and roads have been demolished and built over.
