"Howard's Way" was filmed literally down the road from me, in The Solent area.
As a fellow who does know the area well, I am always on the lookout for my Grandfather driving his Audi quattro in the day, wonder if it was caught in this series?

Have only found 1 family photo of him with it, but we do still have the car so could be worse...
