| From \'The Avengers\' With Love In the episode of "The Avengers" called "From Venus With Love" a GT40 made a brief appeance at the end of the show. The car was painted silver and the nose of the car was slightly modified so a "laser" could emerge.
The episode first aired January 14, 1967, so it probably was an original GT40 (the details look correct). Does anyone know which car it was? |

| Re: From \'The Avengers\' With Love Nose of the car, you can see how it was modified for the "laser". It looks like the NACA ducts and the lower lights were masked before painting. |

If you look carefully inside the nose you can see the top of the windscreen washer bottle, the wiper motor and the brake line fittings. |

| Re: From \'The Avengers\' With Love Looks like there is a LeMans light on the right rear corner so maybe P1017?, although several had these lights. She was a babe, and the car looked good too. |

| Re: From \'The Avengers\' With Love She was one of the parents at Wycombe Abbey School (here in Buckinghamshire) at the same time my eldest daughter was a student there. Saw her quite often - a lot older than the pics above but still 'a babe'.

I figured no one would object to a post of the pictures if Diana Rigg was in them. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] |

| Re: From \'The Avengers\' With Love OK, for all of you that harbor a secret passion for the lovly Emma Peel I have this from todays paper.
The Avengers: the Complete Emma Peel Megaset Collection which contains every episode of the show in which Peel faced the state's enemies with her wits, weapons and sexual innuendo.
16 disks, 51 remastered episodes, plus three socalled lost episodes. This set also contains the memorable "Touch of Brimstone" episode which is the source of all fetish photos of Peel in a spiked dog collar.
Price for the set is listed as US$180.00.
Nuthing to do with me, just saw the article in todays paper.
