[show]In Seasons 1 and 2, Terry McCann drove a white Mark II Ford Capri, registration SLE 71R; this car also features in the opening titles. However in some episodes he drove a white Mark I Capri (an earlier model which pre-dates the Mark II) which had the same registration number. In a publicity photograph for CI5 The Professionals (UK), taken from the book "The Complete Professionals" by Dave Rogers, George Cowley is seen standing beside a Rolls Royce... which also has the registration SLE 71R! According to DVLA records, the registration number officially relates to the Mark II Capri.
