The car is completely drivable The wooden wheel is original The rare "trunked" Mini-Lite- spook design The Saint's car is home in Torslanda Finally, the Volvo 1800 as Roger Moore drove in the TV series The Saint came home to Torslanda, where it was once built. T he car and the movie are roughly contemporary. No wonder then that the first filmmakers were used to use cars in their items. T-Ford, the first mass-produced car, quickly became the early American movie director's favorite. And in the 30's, gang- sters liked to drive the Ford V8 on the cinema as well as in real life. When the agent rolls arrived, the main character would have a sports car. A dangerous vehicle to a dangerous man, so. In the hands of James Bond, an Aston-Martin DB5 and Simon Templar were set in the TV series Helgonet ratified a Volvo 1800. Both actors, charac- ters they portrayed and their cars eventually received icon status. While John Drake, in the TV-Danger Man program, was forgotten, because the production company had always provoked him with some ridiculous trivial cars Mr Moore's private car In 1962, the first season of The Saint, titled in Britain, was broadcast with British actor Roger Moore in the lead role as Simon Templar, Helgonet. The TV series became a success and had high viewing figures at home as well as in the countries where it was exported. When Roger Moore left the series in the late 60's, the series was released. A world friend, albeit a secret agent, must of course have a car to match his radiance. One of them found the English in that of Pelle Petersson, during his apprenticeship with Italian design studio Frua, designed car. Volvo Cars has now bought the Volvo 1800 S once owned by Sir Roger and included in the Helgonet TV series. The car is here in Gothenburg and Per-Åke Fröberg, Head of Volvo Cars Heritage, shows it before being transported to Germany to be shown at a fair. - At the end of 1966, two of the cars in the Torslanda were ma- nufactured for the series and were delivered in early 1967. One of the cars was intended for filming and the other was Roger Moore's private car but was also used in recordings. Because he owned the production company, he is the owner of the two and we have the original documents with his signature. The cars used by the production company were not quite standard but had some extra equipment like wooden sports steering wheel, Hella extra light, electric antenna and an electric fan to cool the actors in the warm recording light. - As new models came, the cars were replaced. In total, this was done three times during the series, "says Per-Åke Fröberg. Back at last When all the re surrection lay around Mr. Moore's car, Volvo will be exhibiting it. Then one of the world's most iconic cars is back for good, back where every thing once started half a century ago.
