Something that Andy 'The Saint' Sayers has in common with the original 'Saint' is Volvo.
In the original 1960's 'The Saint' TV show, Roger Moore drove a prestigious, white Volvo P1800 sports car. A number of cars were supplied for the show by Volvo including one for Moore's own personal use. Jaguar had been asked to supply cars for the show but declined and regretted their decision when The Saint became a massive 60's hit. The ST1 number plate was fake and covered the real plate which was NUV 648E - Moore's own Volvo had the plate NUV 647E .
Volvo have come a long way since then and our very own Andy 'The Saint' Sayers owns both a black Volvo S60 and a black Volvo XC90. As those of you who know Andy will appreciate, he covers a huge amount of mileage during his working week and at least his Volvos are in better nick than the P1800s of the TV show which had to be regularly patched up by technicians due to all the stunts they carried out.
