I told my fellow viewer what was going to happen as soon as they got the victim drunk and went outside to a... white Jag! No cliffs in sight, so they had to get the car to drive itself down a massive hill first to get to the cliff.
As for loaned cars, Roger Moore famously bought one of the Saint's Volvos for the start of filming, so that they could have enough for use in the show. Patrick McGoohan's limo (Bentley?) is driven by the "posh gent" who draws alongside the escapees in the final episode of "The Prisoner" (he later got given a Lotus/Caterham 7 as used by the Prisoner himself, but that was in the 1990s).
I remember the first couple of times I saw it, I had this weird sense of deja vu, but didn't make the connection until someone mentioned it on here. By the time I got to
Jason King, I knew the poor guy was doomed. Gambit should have counted himself lucky that his Jag was red.
I think I may have heard the Roger Moore one before, but not the Patrick McGoohan one--thanks, Franky!
