Steed Drove 4 different Bentley automobiles, a Range Rover, and a
Vauxhall saloon. Steed is usually associated with a vintage Bentley, such
as the 1926 Speed Six Bentley, registration RX6180, in British Racing Green.
Mrs. Peel also drove several vehicles, including a Mini-Moke, but she is
usually associated with a Lotus Elan. Two Lotus automobiles were used. For
the black & white episodes, it was a Lotus with the registration HNK999C, and
for the color episodes, she drove a Powder Blue Lotus Elan, registration
SJH499D.
