Side indicators deleted Sept 71 (in UK at least). Unusual big block over-riders and black sill stripe. |

Looks to be a TS model with black rear badge trim (1970 onwards). ![[Image: 16ts_530.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/32581/26/16ts_530.jpg) This is the personal car of detective "Bogey" played by Sera Masanori. It is last seen in Ep. 596 when during a chase scene against Yakuza members, it crashes into car wrecking yard and a conveniently placed Isuzu Florian lands on it's roof. ![[Image: r16_596_1.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/32581/26/r16_596_1.jpg) ![[Image: r16_596_2.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/32581/26/r16_596_2.jpg) ![[Image: r16_596_3.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/32581/26/r16_596_3.jpg) ![[Image: r16_596_4.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/32581/26/r16_596_4.jpg) In revenge, Bogey-keiji destroys the Mercury Monarch owned by the Yakuza boss: /vehicle_1372069-Mercury-Monarch.html However, it isn't the end of the R16 which travels to a shipping port for a gunfight with another yakuza mobster. ![[Image: r16_596_5.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/32581/26/r16_596_5.jpg) ![[Image: r16_596_6.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/32581/26/r16_596_6.jpg) ![[Image: r16_596_7.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/32581/26/r16_596_7.jpg) It crashes into a Mitsubishi Canter and that was the end of his much beloved R16, one episode before the character left the show. ![[Image: r16_596_8.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/32581/26/r16_596_8.jpg) -- Last edit: 2026-03-27 12:04:27 |
