I finally got The Young Ones DVD box set. Something I’ve always wondered was the kind of car Vyvyan drives. I know it’s a Ford of some kind.
I believe it was a Ford Anglea.
it was a Ford Anglia
With a flame-job, and a severed leg on the bonnet! 
Congrats on the boxed set. TYO has got to be one of my favourite series of all time! I had a set of bootlegs from MTV, another set from Comedy Central, a legitimate set on VHS, and I got the DVDs on pre-order as soon as they were announced. 
Incidentally, it’s a blue Anglia in Harry Potter.
Speaking of The Young Ones…there was always one line I never could understand. Since I have not bought the boxset yet I was wondering if any of you could make this clear to me. There was an episode where the boys went to a bar (Vyvyan’s mother is the bar tender) where the band “Madness” is playing. Rik says something to the lead singer and he says something like “You fim dit (?), I’ll smash your face in”.
This has been bugging me for years…what does that guy say???
“You hum it.”
To make things clearer for those who aren’t familiar with the scene:
Madness had just finished a song (House of Fun, IIRC), and Rick asks the singer if they know a Cliff Richards song (Summer Holiday, or something along that line).
The singer looks at him, and replies ‘If you hum it… I’ll smash yer face in’
Beautiful! That is too funny!!!
That’s been buggin’ me for the longest time.
“Doesn’t that look like your car, Vyv?”
“Nah. Mine’s a yellow Ford Anglia with flames up the side.”
“But that’s a yellow Ford Anglia with flames up the side.”
“Yeah, but it’s not mine, is it?”
