Numbers in () are all for episode numbers. Comments to the author, please.
I might add the handsome styling of Honor Blackman riding the Triumph
motorcycle was quite impressive, and there were always nice Jaguars here
and there throughout the series. Scenes I really enjoyed watching are
from "Dead Man's Treasure"--E-type--and most of all from "The Super Secret
Cypher Snatch". You don't see a vintage car skid very often on TV...

Now how about Aston Martin vs Ferrari Dino in "The Persuaders"?
