Cover me, Bodie! You can now own the Ford Capris which starred in television action series The Professionals – if you've got a spare £200,000 knocking about.
Millions would tune in each week to see tyre-squealing car chases, with Shaw's character Ray Doyle driving a Solar Gold Capri, and his buddy William Bodie – played by Lewis Collins in a Strato Silver car. That would represent a remarkable return on the cars which would have cost £6,147 when they were new in 1980. It would also break the record for the highest price ever paid for a Capri, beating the £55,000 paid – for another one driven in the series by Bodie – which went for £55,000.
The Professionals centred around the fictitious Criminal Intelligence department No. 5, or CI5. The unit, a portmanteau of CID and MI5, was set up to tackle terrorism and organised crime. Its leader, ruthless ex-army officer George 'The Cow' Cowley, was given carte blanche to operate outside the law.
