Has everyone overlooked that Steed collects classic cars? How many Bentleys does he own?

Steed loves his vintage cars, he "loyal to his old loves" : the Bentleys, the two Lagondas, his Vauxhall, the two Rolls Royce..

Mark Crayford destroyed his vintage cars - shame on him!

Interesting thing is, that we never saw this Bentley fuel cap at any of Steed's cars.

That was so sad and it rearely gets a mention. Steed really went through it in The New Avengers, losing old friends and then this ...

The death of the Bentley really kicks the fan in you (and Steed!) right where it hurts. Dead Men was my first TNA, and I remember thinking, "Not the Bentley!"

At least we get to see it "resurrected," so to speak, in K is for Kill.

Another hobby - he reads Tintin books! (Or, as they're more correctly called, "albums".)

I didn't know about this!

BTW, beautiful work, Ischtar!

Isn't it a radiatior cap, rather than a fuel cap?

Yes

- of course you're right - would be bad to fill in fuel there

With the help of the excellent sites of Dissolute and and theavengers.tv I was able to finish some pictures with the vintage cars of John Steed.
