Here's the rest of the
Getaway vehicles
Name:Police Van
Most Likely to be Found:In roadblocks
Colours found in:White, basic Police livery
Speed:4/10 It's a van
Acceleration:5/10 But it goes OK
Handling:4/10 Not too hot on corners
Durability:8/10 It can take punishment though!
Looks:6/10 It's cool driving in one of these!
It's your basic Police Riot Van, used to take Officers to places where there
are, well riots! In real life, they also have a cage at the back where
Prisoners go. L3 turns on it's siren.
Name:Police Vauxhall Vectra
Most Likely to be Found:When you've been misbehaving, which tends to happen
all to frequently
Colours found in:White, with an Fluorescant Orange/Red Stripe down it
Speed:7/10 Hey, the Cops need to keep up with you!
Acceleration:9/10 Extremely quick to get to top speed
Handling:5/10 Fairly good
Durability:6/10 Knows how to take Punishment
Looks:6/10 I guess they look kinda cool
A good all-round car, and easily the best Police and indeed emergency
services vehicle in the game. Unfortunately, you can't see them for love or
money in Freeroaming mode.L3 activates it's siren.
Name:Prison Transport Van
Most Likely to be Found:On the missions "Aiding and Abetting" and "Escort
Duty"
Colours found in:Grey
Speed:*estimate* 4/10
Acceleration:*estimate* 4/10
Handling:*estimate* 4/10
Durability:*estimate* 8/10
Looks:6/10 Kinda cool, it's the type of Van serial killers get put in
Basically, I have been unable to capture one and steal it, as in both
missions the thing drives off like a bullet, and even if you smash it off
the road it will find a way through. At the time, Jake Jolson is contained
within the van.
Name:Range Rover
Most Likely to be Found:East-End, Also south of the river
Colours found in:Silver, Brown, Green
Speed:4/10 Nothing
Acceleration:5/10 Special
Handling:6/10 Not too bad, but the vehicle itself is very wide
Durability:7/10 Can take several hits before going down
Looks:5/10 OK I suppose
This is basically a Land Rover or as people from the USA call them, an "SUV"
basically it's the kinda thing you'd wantif you lived in somewhere with bad
terrain, not in an urban area(even though many people choose to have them in
urban areas anyway, which kinda undermines the point of them)
Name:Renault Espace
Most Likely to be Found:North of the river, mainly
Colours found in:Green, Blue
Speed:5/10 Nothing Special
Acceleration:5/10 Again, just average
Handling:4/10 nothing special again
Durability:6/10 it's average!
Looks:4/10 Average
The word average really does sum up this people carrier, I can't really see
why anyone would want to drive one, but if it's the only vehicle near you,
then go for it.
Name:Renault Laguna Estate
Most Likely to be Found:North of the River, look around Hyde Park
Colours found in:Green, Light Blue, a silverish colour
Speed:6/10 Not too bad
Acceleration:5/10 reasonable
Handling:6/10 Fair
Durability:5/10 OK
Looks:5/10
This car is just slightly above average, and is Renault's best car in the
game. It's one of two estate cars in the game, and if it's the nearest thing
to you, then go for it!
Name:Rover SD1 Yardie edition
Most Likely to be Found:Clerkenwell - Yardie Turf
Colours found in:Purple, with yellow wheels
Speed:7/10 Fast again
Acceleration:8/10 Average gang car really
Handling:5/10 OK handling
Durability:6/10 OK Durability
Looks:7/10 It has a unqiue charm I guess
This is the Yardies "Primary Car" and isn't uncommon on the streets of
Clerkenwell. It reminds me of something, but I don't know what. The Yardies
have souped it up quite a bit htough, and it even has a rear wing.
Name:Rover SD1
Most Likely to be Found:South of the River
Colours found in:Brown
Speed:4/10 not good
Acceleration:5/10 OK
Handling:6/10 Quite good
Durability:4/10 Can't handle big pile ups
Looks:3/10 Awful
This is just a horrible car, avoid it like the Plague, it looks ugly, and it
drives slow. I would forgive it if it was something unique like a Van, or
a London Bus or Taxi, but it's just a dull 80's looking car
Name:Rover 75
Most Likely to be Found:Southwark (Bethnall Turf)or north of the river
Colours found in:Red, green, blue, black
Speed:7/10 Above average
Acceleration:8/10 Quite good
Handling:5/10 Fair
Durability:6/10 Can Take a few hits
Looks:7/10 Looks like a Jag to me!
This is the Bethnall Green Mob's "Second Car" It's basically an average
gang car, but an above average road car.The Bethnall Mob use it to kidnap
Alex Hammond.It looks quite a bit like a Jag
Name:Saab Concept Car
Most Likely to be Found:Two locations, the first one is on the bottom floor
of the NCP Carpark in Chinatown, which is just south of Shaftsbury Avenue
(umarked on map, not Shaftsbury Avenue, the chinatown street) or outside
Charlie's warehouse in "The Jolson Files"
Colours found in:White
Speed:8/10 fast!
Acceleration:7/10 Again, quite good
Handling:6/10 not too bad on corners either
Durability:6/10 It will last a while
Looks:8/10 Very Nice! It's got kind of a 1950's vision of transport in the
year 2000 feel to it. The indicator/reverse/brake lights at the back are cool!
Basically, this is a concept car from swedish manufacturer Saab, and therefore
you will never see them on the streets. End of story!
Name:Saab 900
Most Likely to be Found:Everywhere
Colours found in: A lot! Black, red, yellow well, maybe that's not a lot but
that's only the ones I found
Speed:7/10 quite fast really
Acceleration:5/10 Average acceleration
Handling:5/10 It's handling isn't all that bad
Durability:4/10 It can take few hits
Looks:2/10 It was beaten with an ugly stick
This is basically an old-ish car, probably from the late 1980's. It is
suprisingly fast for a car that looks and is as old as it is
Name:Saab 9-3
Most Likely to be Found:Upmarket Areas
Colours found in:Dark Blue, Black
Speed:7/10 fast
Acceleration:6/10 better off the mark than the Saab 900
Handling:4/10 Doesn't handle very well
Durability:5/10 OK
Looks:4/10 Like a Brick
This is basically a modern looking Saab 900, which looks better(but is till
ugly) and accelerates better, that's all I can say about it really.
Name:Tank
Most Likely to be Found:Inside an area of black fence that stretches down
along Birdcage walk, just south of the Queen's house,(well, it's slightly
bigger than your average house) Buckingham Palace.
Colours found in:Green
Speed:3/10 Not all that good
Acceleration:3/10 *same*
Handling:3/10 like a brick
Durability:10/10 LIKE A TANK!!!!!(It goes to black smoke easily, but it
takes ages to catch on fire)
Looks:6/10 OK, it doesn't have tank tracks, it just has tyres
This is well, a tank! Pressing L3 fires it's weapon, which basically causes
the same explosions thta oil barrels cause when they explode, a few feet away
from the Tank. Often, cars hit by the gun often veer to the right for no reason,
so if you are attacking oncoming traffic, they will probably smash into you.
It's great fun firing it at pedestrians, and watching as the explosion happens,
half a second passes, then the pedestrian gets flung back on fire! This is the
last Vice City reference in this section, this tank cannot run over vehicles
like the Rhino in Vice City, because it doesn't have tank tracks. So don't
even try!
Name:Taxi
Most Likely to be Found:Everywhere!
Colours found in:Black, Dark Green, Maroon
Speed:5/10 OK
Acceleration:3/10 Not that good really
Handling:5/10 Fair
Durability:7/10 Will take a hit or 5
Looks:7/10 Like a London Cab!
London Black Taxis are always good, but for some reason most of the ones on
The Getaway seem to be Green. Unfortunately, there isn't a London Taxi
Mode, but the Taxis are able to smash other cars out of the way.
Name:Tow-Truck
Most Likely to be Found:There is one parked on the side of the road on St.
James Street
Colours found in:White
Speed:3/10 Not good
Acceleration:3/10 Again, not good
Handling:2/10 Poor
Durability:7/10 OK
Looks:4/10 Reasonable
There may be more than one of these, but I only know the location of one of
them. They are often in front of big ramps, which can be used to sent your
car up into the air, and if you go slowly you can land on the tow-truck,
which is kinda cool. The tow-truck itself isn't really any good.
Name:Toyota Hi-Ace
Most Likely to be Found:Industrial Areas
Colours found in:Blueish-Grey
Speed:3/10 not good
Acceleration:2/10 poor
Handling:2/10 Shameful
Durability:5/10 OK
Looks:1/10 Like a stretched out Hi-Jets! ugh!
Basically, this is a Hi-Jets with an extra panel in the side, it's just an
awful looking van, which should be avoided
Name:Toyota Townace
Most Likely to be Found:Industrial Areas
Colours found in:HORRIBLE colours! pale orange, pale green ugh!
Speed:3/10 poor
Acceleration:2/10 abysmal
Handling:3/10 rubbish
Durability:4/10 not good
Looks:1/10 Like a Camper van version of the Hi-Jets
Avoid this one too, I hate Toyota for both of the above vans, or rather the
guy who designed them!
Name:Toyota MR2
Most Likely to be Found:everywhere north of the river
Colours found in:Red, Yellow
Speed:6/10 reasonably fast
Acceleration:5/10 OK
Handling:4/10 Reasonable
Durability:5/10 Average
Looks:4/10 OK, but slightly too "square-based"
You are likely to find these wherever you go north of the river, and you
could find some south of it too. These are semi-fast cars, which have a
back wing for some reason
Name:Toyota Corolla
Most Likely to be Found:Everywhere
Colours found in:Green, Red, A greyish-Bluish-Greenish colour
Speed:5/10 Moderate
Acceleration:5/10 OK
Handling:5/10 average steering
Durability:4/10 Doesn't take a whole lot to send it to the scrap heap
Looks:6/10 Not too bad
These are found everywhere, and there seems to be quite a few south of the
river. These look like they're going to perform better than they do, so
don't fall fo it!
Name:Transit?
Most Likely to be Found:everywhere
Colours found in:Several Designs
White and Plain(white van man!)
Red with Royal Mail Designs
Grey with BT Designs (filthy business only)
Grey with Fed-Ex designs
Yellow and Green with City Link designs
Speed:4/10 OK
Acceleration:5/10 Again, it's OK
Handling:4/10 not too bad
Durability:7/10 can take a pounding
Looks:5/10 Like a Transit
This looks exactly like a transit, but with no Ford Markings on them. Indeed,
there is an Oval shape left blank at the front of the van. I think Ford
pulled out of the Getaway at one point(I heard the ordinary Police Cars were
going to be Ford Fiestas) and as Team Soho couldn't find another similar van
they decided to keep this and take off Ford insignia.
Name:TVR Tuscan Speed 6 (Me thinks!)
Most Likely to be Found:Mansion on Bayswater road, just follow the road
along until you can go south, keep going and you will see what I can best
describe as a "rounded" road, which has a blue-ish fence next to it. There
s a gap in this fence, go through it, along the path until you get to a
mansion with two sports cars sitting outside. the one on the right is the
TVR. The second is at the lock-up of Charlie's that Frank Carter raided on
the mission "The Jolson Files"
Another location, sent to me by Xx Kolchak xX, and as I am very lazy I copied
and pasted the e-mail. Sue me.
First, I'd like to thank you for the great vehicle
guide. It's helped me very well, and I know it takes
quite a while to write something like that up.
Now, on to the business. I live in Oklahoma, so I have
the American version of the game and no map (not to
mention a bad habit of driving on the wrong side of
the road.) I think I have found another location for
the TVR. Start "A touch of class" and drive straight
out on to the road that curves a little and decends a
bit. Drive past the first intersection, and watch your
right hand side. There will be a gas station. Drive in
and turn right at the back wall. There is a large
black sports car that I have been told is a TVR. I
don't know whether it is there on the free roam or
not, as I haven't beaten the game yet. I'm not sure if
this location is mentioned on your guide, but It isn't
on the TVR section. (as I said, someone told me it was
the TVR, I'm still not sure.)
I hope it helped, and if it didn't feel free to
verbally abuse me in a reply
I was tempted to do this, because verbally abusing people is always great fun, but
as he was nice about the guide, I let him off.
Colours found in:Dark Blue
Speed:9/10 Oh yes!
Acceleration:9/10 Vrrooom!
Handling:6/10 Fairly good
Durability:5/10 OK
Looks:10/10 Stunning! just stunning!
This is my favourite car and probably the best car in the game. It's no secret
that Liam drives one and also that Charlie has one stashed at his garage at
his house in mayfair. The only TVR in the game is stunning!
Name:Vauxhall Astra Estate Van
Most Likely to be Found:Hyde Park, NCP Carpark
Colours found in:Blue, Red
Speed:5/10 OK
Acceleration:6/10 quite good
Handling:5/10 OK
Durability:6/10 reasonable
Looks:5/10 Not too good
My dad used to drive one of these, only instead of being a van, it had the
windows at the side of it rather than paint, making it a car. It's the
kind of thing electricians and plumbers would drive, if you ask me
Name:Vauxhall Vectra
Most Likely to be Found:DC Carter's earlier missions
Colours found in:Silver
Speed:8/10 Carter Chose a good car!
Acceleration:9/10 a very good car!
Handling:5/10 reasonable
Durability:6/10 good
Looks:8/10 Very Slick!
This is DC Carter's undercover Police car, it looks and drives good. It has
a siren, which is activated by L3.
*****************************************************************************
4.0 Emergency Vehicles
These are all vehicles used by the emergency services, and all have pretty
sirens that can be activated with L3!
And as I am doing it in the same way, I might as well include the
little thing and example thing. All cars will be listed in alphabetical
order, and will be assessed under the following criteria (makes me sound
like a driving instructor or something)
Note, this is all false! FALSE FALES FALSE! no, not the guide itself, this
demo example, although the criteria will remain the same, got it?
Also, I will include what emergency service uses them
Name: eg Steamroller!
Most likely to be found: eg In the River!
Emergency Service:Mountain Rescue
Colours found in:eg Pink, Brown, Orange. (any I know of, I can't list them all if
I don't know them all!)
Speed:eg 6/10 it goes quite fast, doesn't it?
Acceleration:eg 2/10 damn slow off the mark
Handling:eg 1/10 Like a dead Whale
Durablity:eg 10/10 It'll take a fair few hits
Looks:eg 5/10 Like a Steamroller!
The Steamroller is a car. Well no, it isn't. I wouldn't really use one to
escape in. It basically looks like a steamroller, and if you don't know what
one of them is, then I feel sorry for you, really I do.
And with no further wait, here they all are!
Name:Ambulance
Most Likely to be Found:Around the Hospital(usually in pairs) which is on
Tottenham Court road, if memory serves me correct
Emergency Service:Ambulance Service
Colours found in:White, with ambulance insignia on it
Speed:4/10 Not all that fast
Acceleration:3/10 Again, it isn't exactly a Ferrari
Handling:3/10 Not all that good
Durability:7/10 It knows how to take a hit
Looks:4/10 Ambulances are ugly, but I guess it's cool driving around in one.
This is an Ambulance! they are driven only by paramedics. You can also
activate the siren with the L3. It's ironic because in one of Carter's
missions where you have to take Joe to the hospital, Carter says "I won't
wait for the Ambulance" even though when you go down the road, there's loads
all driving together.
Name:Fire Engine
Most Likely to be Found:On Disturbance in Soho, a bit down the street from the
Republic.
Emergency Service:Fire Brigade
Colours found in:Red, with Fire Engine Insignia on it
Speed:4/10 Won't get to every fire on time
Acceleration:4/10 no wonder they're on strike!
Handling:3/10 not all that good!
Durability:9/10 It's a nice Behemoth in this department though!
Looks:5/10 Fire Engines are kinda cool
Basically, it's a vehicle in which firefighters clamber into to go out and
put out fires. Unfortunately, there are none on the streets, so they must
all be on strike, heh! (Firemen have been on strike in the UK recently in
case you didn't know)It has a Siren though!
Name:Police Peugeot 306
Most Likely to be Found:All over the City
Emergency Service:Police Force
Colours found in:White, with fluorescant yellow bands on the side, Police
markings.
Speed:6/10 OK for a small car
Acceleration:5/10 Fairly Average
Handling:8/10 Very Nice Handling
Durability:5/10 Can take a little bit more damage
Looks:5/10 OK, it isn't an especially nice Police Car
This is just the basic Partol Car, so don't expect Cops in this to be
chasing you for very long unless you are in Free Roaming Mode, but even
then you can lose them because they aren't in an especially fast car. L3
activates it's siren.
Name:Police Van
Most Likely to be Found:In roadblocks
Emergency Service:Police Force
Colours found in:White, basic Police livery
Speed:4/10 It's a van
Acceleration:5/10 But it goes OK
Handling:4/10 Not too hot on corners
Durability:8/10 It can take punishment though!
Looks:6/10 It's cool driving in one of these!
It's your basic Police Riot Van, used to take Officers to places where there

A good all-round car, and easily the best Police and indeed emergency
services vehicle in the game. Unfortunately, you can't see them for love or
money in Freeroaming mode.L3 activates it's siren.
Name:Prison Transport Van
Most Likely to be Found:On the missions "Aiding and Abetting" and "Escort
Duty"
Emergency Service:Police Force
Colours found in:Grey
Speed:*estimate* 4/10
Acceleration:*estimate* 4/10
Handling:*estimate* 4/10
Durability:*estimate* 8/10
Looks:6/10 Kinda cool, it's the type of Van serial killers get put in
Basically, I have been unable to capture one and steal it, as in both
missions the thing drives off like a bullet, and even if you smash it off
the road it will find a way through. At the time, Jake Jolson is contained
within the van.
Name:Vauxhall Vectra
Most Likely to be Found:DC Carter's earlier missions
Emergency Service:Police
Colours found in:Silver
Speed:8/10 Carter Chose a good car!
Acceleration:9/10 a very good car!
Handling:5/10 reasonable
Durability:6/10 good
Looks:8/10 Very Slick!
This is DC Carter's undercover Police car, it looks and drives good. It has
a siren, which is activated by L3.

5.0 "One-off" Vehicles
Vehicles that only appear in certain missions and no-where else are here.
Again, I am using the same stuff so I will use the same intro.All cars will
be listed in alphabetical order, and will be assessed under the following
criteria (makes me sound like a driving instructor or something)
Note, this is all false! FALSE FALES FALSE! no, not the guide itself, this
demo example, although the criteria will remain the same, got it?
One more thing, a "Mission appeared in criteria" will appear instead of
"most likely to be found"
Name: eg Steamroller!
Mission Appeared in:eg Land of Hope and Glory
Colours found in:eg Pink, Brown, Orange. (any I know of, I can't list them all if
I don't know them all!)
Speed:eg 6/10 it goes quite fast, doesn't it?

Mission Appeared in:Filtyh Business
Colours found in:Grey with BT Designs
Speed:4/10 OK
Acceleration:5/10 Again, it's OK
Handling:4/10 not too bad
Durability:7/10 can take a pounding
Looks:5/10 Like a Transit
This looks exactly like a transit, but with no Ford Markings on them. Indeed,
there is an Oval shape left blank at the front of the van. I think Ford

*****************************************************************************
6.0 Hidden Vehicles
"The 10 Hidden Vehicles" are here, shame there's 12 of them really, I guess
we'll never know which ones are supposed to be the 10 secret ones until
Team Soho tells us. I have my suspicions about some, I think it's most
likely to be the Daihatsu Jets Pick-up and the MKII Roadster.
Again, I am using the same stuff so I will use the same intro.All cars will
be listed in alphabetical order, and will be assessed under the following
criteria (makes me sound like a driving instructor or something)
Note, this is all false! FALSE FALES FALSE! no, not the guide itself, this
demo example, although the criteria will remain the same, got it?
Name: eg Steamroller!
Most likely to be found: eg In the River!
Colours found in:eg Pink, Brown, Orange. (any I know of, I can't list them all if
I don't know them all!)
Speed:eg 6/10 it goes quite fast, doesn't it?
Acceleration:eg 2/10 damn slow off the mark
Handling:eg 1/10 Like a dead Whale
Durablity:eg 10/10 It'll take a fair few hits
Looks:eg 5/10 Like a Steamroller!
The Steamroller is a car. Well no, it isn't. I wouldn't really use one to
escape in. It basically looks like a steamroller, and if you don't know what
one of them is, then I feel sorry for you, really I do.
And with no further wait, here they all are!
Name:Daihatsu Hi-Jets Pick-up
Most Likely to be Found:2 or 3 places in Hyde Park. One of them is at a depot
of vans, another is behind a few trees and a smallish building on next to a
path. I think I found a third location, but
a) I can't remember where it was
b) it could have just been the second one
Although Hyde Park is a maze, I know that I always stumble across them at some
point or another.
Colours found in:White, with Royal Parks insignia.
Speed:4/10 Perhaps a bit faster than the Hi-jets van
Acceleration:2/10 very slow starter though
Handling:5/10 reasonable
Durability:5/10 again, it isn't all that bad
Looks:2/10 but only because it has grass/leaves in the back!
This could be a rare vehicle, although I know that I have stumbled across
them during missions. They can't be seen driving around, and are basically
a Daihatsu Hi-Jets modified into a pick-up truck. it has grass/leaves in
the back though! which is a good thing, maybe. At least that feature is
unique!
Name:Golf Buggy/Cart (whatever you want to call it)
Most Likely to be Found:It's in the northern Area of Hyde Park, near a
set of crossroads. Just follow the yellow path until it is crossed over
by a grey one, take the grey path down till you get to a set of crossroads,
and it's to the left, in front of you hidden behind a group of bushes.
Colours found in:White, with insignia on the small door
Speed:6/10 not too bad when it gets going
Acceleration:4/10 it's a golf buggy, don't expect it to be a Ferrari
Handling:4/10 It's small Tyres mean it has low grip
Durability:3/10 Can't take all that much either
Looks:4/10 Like A Golf Cart
This is the only one of two times I intend to mention GTA Vice city in
this section, so bear with me. It's exactly like a "Caddy" From that game,
except this one has a door. Basically, it's for transporting Golfers and
there equipment around courses, not hardened criminals on the run from
the Police and an Army of gangs!
Name:Go-Kart
Most Likely to be Found:Mansion on Bayswater road, just follow the road
along until you can go south, keep going and you will see what I can best
describe as a "rounded" road, which has a blue-ish fence next to it. There
s a gap in this fence, go through it, along the path until you get to a
mansion with two sports cars sitting outside. Look in the garage(do a 180
from where you entered) and look in the corner.
Colours found in:Um, I can't give it a colour really.
Speed:7/10 Not Bad!
Acceleration:7/10 Nice for a go-kart
Handling:4/10 like the Golf Buggy It's small Tyres mean it has low grip,
but this adds to the fun!
Durability:3/10 don't expect to collide head on with a Double Decker and
come out the better off of the two!
Looks:7/10 It's a Go-Kart! very nice!
It has an invisible door! spooky! This is a great, original idea, and I like
it, especially it's crazy handling. It's not wholly an ideal getaway car,
because It can't take many hits, but it could squeze through gaps in traffic
easily!
Name:Lotus Elise
Most Likely to be Found:Mansion on Bayswater road, just follow the road
along until you can go south, keep going and you will see what I can best
describe as a "rounded" road, which has a blue-ish fence next to it. There
s a gap in this fence, go through it, along the path until you get to a
mansion with two sports cars sitting outside. Look in the garage and you will
see it. The second is at the lock-up of Charlie's that Frank Carter raided on
the mission "The Jolson Files"
Colours found in:White
Speed:9/10 nnnniiii
Acceleration:9/10 cccceeee!!!!
Handling:6/10 not all that bad!
Durability:5/10 can't take a lot of hits!
Looks:9/10 Sweet! First thing:It has doors like the Delorean in Back to the
Future, in that they open vertically, and Second Thing:Second mention of
GTA Vice City out of three, it looks just like an Infernus
This thing is FAST! it's a very nice car to cruise around in, because it
looks so cool, and also it's a good getaway car too. It and the TVR seem
to be Twins, they always follow each other around, except in one place, no
wait, two places where the TVR is on it's own.
Name:Lotus Espirit
Most Likely to be Found:If you head along Marylebone Road, in the district of
believe it or not, Marylebone. Head West along this road, and a little alley
should be on your right, which is where a certain car is
Colours found in:Silver
Speed:8/10 Good
Acceleration:8/10 All Lotuses have good acceleration!
Handling:5/10 And Fairly Good Handling
Durability:5/10 But can't take much damage!
Looks:7/10 They always look good though
This is another Hidden Lotus Car(One more still to come!) and it's basically
a typical Lotus for all the points which I just summed up, a nice car if
you want to just cruise the streets of London.
Name:Lotus 7 MKII Roadster
Most Likely to be Found:You start with it in Free Roaming Mode
Colours found in:Purple
Speed:8/10 Fast
Acceleration:9/10 Fast
Handling:4/10 Nicht zu gut
Durability:3/10 doesn't survive many hits
Looks:8/10 Slick!
This is called a "roadster" but I cannot see how! I think I can honestly
say that other than on The Getaway, I have NEVER seen one on the roads!
It's more of a racing car, really.In GTA:London (not a reference to the
modern version) it was called the "Locust 7" So I guess it could have
been on the streets in 1969, but now it is 2003, so it's unlikely that there
are any on the roads today.
Name:Nissan Skyline GTR
Most Likely to be Found:Mansion on Bayswater road, just follow the road
along until you can go south, keep going and you will see what I can best
describe as a "rounded" road, which has a blue-ish fence next to it. There
s a gap in this fence, go through it, along the path until you get to a
mansion with two sports cars sitting outside. The white one on the left is
the Skyline.
Colours found in:White
Speed:7/10 Fairly Fast
Acceleration:8/10 Quick off the mark
Handling:5/10 OK, there are worse than it
Durability:5/10 Again, there are less durable cars
Looks:6/10 not too bad!
The Skyline is a fairly fast car, and is fun to race around London in.
It also makes a good getaway Vehicle.
Name:Peugeot 306 "Boy Racer"
Most Likely to be Found:If you go to Horseferry Road(J14) on the south side
of this road is an alley leading to a small underground car park with some
burnt out cars in it. The boy racer is hidden behind a wall and is tucked
into a corner
Colours found in:Yellow
Speed:7/10 It's been Souped up!
Acceleration:7/10 So what do you expect?
Handling:8/10 Good handling
Durability:4/10 Shame it can't take much damage
Looks:7/10 So Cool! Well, it's a good imitation of a Boy Racer car, what with
the Spoiler and the Speakers in the back and everything!
This is probably the best of the three Peugeot 306's, but I wouldn't ever
consider showing off to your mates in a REAL boy racer car, because everyone
laughs at boy racers! At least I do. This isn't a pure Boy Racer car, it needs
to be an older model of car
Name:Saab Concept Car
Most Likely to be Found:Two locations, the first one is on the bottom floor
of the NCP Carpark in Chinatown, which is just south of Shaftsbury Avenue
(umarked on map, not Shaftsbury Avenue, the chinatown street) or outside
Charlie's warehouse in "The Jolson Files"
Colours found in:White
Speed:8/10 fast!
Acceleration:7/10 Again, quite good
Handling:6/10 not too bad on corners either
Durability:6/10 It will last a while
Looks:8/10 Very Nice! It's got kind of a 1950's vision of transport in the
year 2000 feel to it. The indicator/reverse/brake lights at the back are cool!
Basically, this is a concept car from swedish manufacturer Saab, and therefore
you will never see them on the streets. End of story
Name:Tank
Most Likely to be Found:Inside an area of black fence that stretches down
along Birdcage walk, just south of the Queen's house,(well, it's slightly
bigger than your average house) Buckingham Palace.
Colours found in:Green
Speed:3/10 Not all that good
Acceleration:3/10 *same*
Handling:3/10 like a brick
Durability:10/10 LIKE A TANK!!!!!(It goes to black smoke easily, but it
takes ages to catch on fire)
Looks:6/10 OK, it doesn't have tank tracks, it just has tyres
This is well, a tank! Pressing L3 fires it's weapon, which basically causes
the same explosions thta oil barrels cause when they explode, a few feet away
from the Tank. Often, cars hit by the gun often veer to the right for no reason,
so if you are attacking oncoming traffic, they will probably smash into you.
It's great fun firing it at pedestrians, and watching as the explosion happens,
half a second passes, then the pedestrian gets flung back on fire! This is the
last Vice City reference in this section, this tank cannot run over vehicles
like the Rhino in Vice City, because it doesn't have tank tracks. So don't
even try!
Name:Tow-Truck
Most Likely to be Found:There is one parked on the side of the road on St.
James Street
Colours found in:White
Speed:3/10 Not good
Acceleration:3/10 Again, not good
Handling:2/10 Poor
Durability:7/10 OK
Looks:4/10 Reasonable
There may be more than one of these, but I only know the location of one of
them. They are often in front of big ramps, which can be used to sent your
car up into the air, and if you go slowly you can land on the tow-truck,
which is kinda cool. The tow-truck itself isn't really any good.
Name:TVR Tuscan Speed 6 (Me thinks!)
Most Likely to be Found:Mansion on Bayswater road, just follow the road
along until you can go south, keep going and you will see what I can best
describe as a "rounded" road, which has a blue-ish fence next to it. There
s a gap in this fence, go through it, along the path until you get to a
mansion with two sports cars sitting outside. the one on the right is the
TVR. The second is at the lock-up of Charlie's that Frank Carter raided on
the mission "The Jolson Files"
Colours found in:Dark Blue
Speed:9/10 Oh yes!
Acceleration:9/10 Vrrooom!
Handling:6/10 Fairly good
Durability:5/10 OK
Looks:10/10 Stunning! just stunning!
This is my favourite car and probably the best car in the game. It's no secret
that Liam drives one and also that Charlie has one stashed at his garage at
his house in mayfair. The only TVR in the game is stunning!
*****************************************************************************
7.0 Gang Vehicles
Vehicles that are driven by gangsters are all listed here
Again, I am using the same stuff so I will use the same intro.All cars will
be listed in alphabetical order, and will be assessed under the following
criteria (makes me sound like a driving instructor or something)
Note, this is all false! FALSE FALES FALSE! no, not the guide itself, this
demo example, although the criteria will remain the same, got it?
Name: eg Steamroller!
Most likely to be found: eg In the River!
Colours found in:eg Pink, Brown, Orange. (any I know of, I can't list them all if
I don't know them all!)
Speed:eg 6/10 it goes quite fast, doesn't it?
Acceleration:eg 2/10 slow off the mark
Handling:eg 1/10 Like a dead Whale
Durablity:eg 10/10 It'll take a fair few hits
Looks:eg 5/10 Like a Steamroller!
The Steamroller is a car. Well no, it isn't. I wouldn't really use one to
escape in. It basically looks like a steamroller, and if you don't know what
one of them is, then I feel sorry for you, really I do.
And with no further wait, here they all are!
Bethnall Green Mob
Name:Lexus IS430
Most Likely to be Found:Bethnall Green Mob Turf, ie South of the River
Colours found in:Silver
Speed:8/10 It has to be fast
Acceleration:8/10 because it's a gang car
Handling:4/10 a bit ropey
Durability:7/10 It takes a bit of punishment though
Looks:6/10 Better than the IS200
This is the Bethnall Green Mobs "Primary Car" and is suprisingly able
to take a fair amount of punishment before giving in.
Name:Rover 75
Most Likely to be Found:Southwark (Bethnall Turf)
Colours found in:Red
Speed:7/10 Above average
Acceleration:8/10 Quite good
Handling:5/10 Fair
Durability:6/10 Can Take a few hits
Looks:7/10 Looks like a Jag to me!
This is the Bethnall Green Mob's "Second Car" It's basically an average
gang car, but an above average road car.The Bethnall Mob use it to kidnap
Alex Hammond.
Collins Gang
Name:Lexus SC430
Most Likely to be Found:Collins Gang Turf, ie Soho
Colours found in:Dark Blue, White
Speed:7/10 Quite
Acceleration:8/10 Nippy
Handling:6/10 It can handle corners OK
Durability:5/10 Not too durable
Looks:8/10 Quite nice!
This is the Collins gang car, and to make up for the fact that they
only have one car, it has two colours instead. A nice car on which you
can rely on to make an escape
14k Triads
Name:Honda Civic
Most Likely to be Found:Triad Turf, which is very hard to pinpoint! I think
there is one in the underground NCP
Colours found in:Green, Purple(If the ones outside the crack house are Accords
which I always thought they were, I didn't get a close look really)
Speed:8/10 As you'd expect for
Acceleration:7/10 a Triad car
Handling:4/10 Doesn't take corners well
Durability:6/10 Not all that bad really
Looks:6/10 Not too bad!
It's the Triads "second choice" car, and is reasonably fast, which isn't
good when they are pursuing you and hunting you down! Still, it's Honda's
best car in the game.
Name:Nissan Skyline GTR
Most Likely to be Found:Piccadily Circus, Triad Turf
Colours found in:Black
Speed:7/10 Fairly Fast
Acceleration:8/10 Quick off the mark
Handling:5/10 OK, there are worse than it
Durability:5/10 Again, there are less durable cars
Looks:6/10 not too bad!
This is the Triads "primary car" and they use it a lot. They can often be seen
around Piccadilly Circus, for some unknown reason.
Yardies
Name:Brabus S-Class
Most Likely to be Found:Yardie Turf, ie Clerkerwell
Colours found in:Purple
Speed:8/10 vrroom!
Acceleration:7/10 again, it's fast!
Handling:5/10 nothing wrong with the handling
Durability:4/10 Slamming it into things isn't the best of ideas
Looks:7/10 nice!
This is a car used exclusively by the Yardies(In that I haven't seen anyone
else using them). Good to cruise around in, but it isn't fun when they are
chasing you as they are lightning quick.It's a modified Mercedes SL and was
a very clever thing for Team Soho to do by slipping this one in under the
manufacturer, Brabus.It's the Yardie's "Second Choice" car
Name:Rover SD1 Yardie edition
Most Likely to be Found:Clerkenwell - Yardie Turf
Colours found in:Purple, with yellow wheels
Speed:7/10 Fast again
Acceleration:8/10 Average gang car really
Handling:5/10 OK handling
Durability:6/10 OK Durability
Looks:7/10 It has a unqiue charm I guess
This is the Yardies "Primary Car" and isn't uncommon on the streets of
Clerkenwell. It reminds me of something, but I don't know what. The Yardies
have souped it up quite a bit htough, and it even has a rear wing.
*****************************************************************************
8.0 Other Vehicles
This is for unusual Vehicles, like the the Sol Vita,
the Bus and the fork lift
Again, I am using the same stuff so I will use the same intro.All cars will
be listed in alphabetical order, and will be assessed under the following
criteria (makes me sound like a driving instructor or something)
Note, this is all false! FALSE FALES FALSE! no, not the guide itself, this
demo example, although the criteria will remain the same, got it?
Name: eg Steamroller!
Most likely to be found: eg In the River!
Colours found in:eg Pink, Brown, Orange. (any I know of, I can't list them all if
I don't know them all!)
Speed:eg 6/10 it goes quite fast, doesn't it?
Acceleration:eg 2/10slow off the mark
Handling:eg 1/10 Like a dead Whale
Durablity:eg 10/10 It'll take a fair few hits
Looks:eg 5/10 Like a Steamroller!
The Steamroller is a car. Well no, it isn't. I wouldn't really use one to
escape in. It basically looks like a steamroller, and if you don't know what
one of them is, then I feel sorry for you, really I do.
And with no further wait, here they all are!
Name:Bus
Most Likely to be Found:All over, but there's a lot in Southwark if you ask
me
Colours found in:Red
Speed:*Unknown* I'd estimate 3/10
Acceleration:*Unknown* I'd estimate 3/10
Handling:*Unknown* I'd estimate 2/10
Durability:*Unknown* I'd estimate 7/10
Looks:4/10 I do know this one! It looks ugly
For some reason known only to Team Soho, you can't actually get into the
single-decker buses. Where I live, these are white, but in London presumably
they are red.
