Saw a bit of the BBC 2 Documentary series about Thatcher yesterday. Those of a certain age will recall that she was at an event in Paris whilst the leadership ballot (which effectively ended it for her) took place.

Momentary glimpses - on her journey from the British Embassy to a formal dinner she rode in a LWB CX limo, on the way there you see her escort car, a BX no less. Return in the CX, no sight of the BX.

I often look out for them. Saw one in The Living Daylights not long ago. You have to be looking hard to spot this one.

And The Man Who Haunted Himself, which featured lots of Rover P5, and Roger Moore.

Rog has even appeared in the FCF's very own Whatsthisthen? thread a couple of times including in half of a Renault 11 from A view to a Kill.

I think the mystery Renault could be an Avantime:

the interior view in the film has similarities:

and of course it's the sort of car May would use, given his declared love for it in the "Should you modify your car?" film in Top Gear.
