Check this clip from an early 80's UK police series we had called the professionals.

A Raider (1974 ish) is used as a shield....

(21 seconds in if you can't wait)

There ya go. Video evidence showing they are bulletproof!

[Jake Kuhn 1,579]

Yes they are bullet proof! Jake

[AMC RULES 37,196]

Additionally, it appears they were using the red blanket protection to cover the bodies on the stretchers too.

(At the 1:17 mark)

With all the props, it's no wonder they called the show..."The Professionals." :)

[wheelhorse 1045 3]

they didnt check to see if the wheel horse was ok, bet none of those guys are redsquare members

[WH Raider10 17]

Awesome find Mark! That's my raider, I've a 1974 that looks exactly like that one. Thanks for sharing the bullet proof raider. :)

[Pollack Pete 2,273]

Hope the horse didn't get hurt.

[Torino 15]

Is that the british Steve McQueen? Are the bad guys stupid or what?. There boss told them to wear ski masks. I wonder which on picked those out. I am pretty sure I saw one of them hit by a bullitt bouncing off the WH.

[Anglo Traction 761]

Mmmm, Reckon it's a later 10Hp.... Optional Lights not fitted, Deep Dish offset front Wheels and White Hub/Grease Caps. Good find though ! ,

[bowtiebutler956 650]

Great Find!! I would have checked on the Wheel Horse before going to check on the other guy that got shot.

Matt :flags-texas:

yep definatly a Raider cos the bloke with the curly hair says so, at the begiining of the clip he mentions ( two dead raiders) but i couldnt see the other one so it must have been round the other side of the house doing some ploughing or something, its a real shame that they both died,

just another bit of useless trivia (Non Wheelhorse Related) Can any of you US guys recognise the scottish boss chap and what war film did he appear in

[wh1257 226]

hey neil,

thats gordon jackson. the movie you would be talking about is 'the great escape', awesome movie.

he was also the butler in 'upstairs, downstairs' one of your guys crazy comedies! and in a mini series set in the aussie outback, 'a town like alice'.

( i know im not technically a US guy, but i do feel totally disconnected from the homeland most of the time......)

[neil 2,410]

well done Martin you are correct, Gordon Jackson it is and the movie was the great escape .

Nice find Mark

[meadowfield 2,740]

Neil,

oddly I can't take credit - though it as taken a few weeks to find a clip !

I had a mate tell me before xmas that he thinks it was a wheel horse in an episode he had seen, but didn't know what it was at the time. All he could tell me was there was a chase and shoot out...

Which pretty well narrows it down to every single episode of the profesionals !!!! :P

[meadowfield 2,740]

and here is an equally blurred close up !

[SousaKerry 503]

Wow that is one quiet boat motor can't hear a thing???

And I though British cops wern't alowd to carry guns?
