BMW

Ian Rider's car, with metallic silver bodywork. He was driving it when he was killed. Supposedly his car was hit by a lorry at Old Street roundabout when he was driving home, and he had been killed instantly.

Alex later sees the car at the breaker's yard. When he gets closer, he sees the damage. The windscreen is smashed, along with all the windows on one side. A spray of bullets had caught the car full on driver's side, shattering the front tyre, then smashing the windscreen and the side windows and punching into the side panels. The front seats are strewn with fragments of broken glass and stained with patches of dried blood.

A custom-built bike, bought for Alex on his twelfth birthday. It's a teenager's bike with a cut-down Reynolds 531 frame, but with full-sized wheels so Alex can ride at speed with hardly any rolling resistance. Alex uses it to ride to and from Brookland School.
