For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ...my mate's uncle made the acctual Brum (the lil car not the filming of it)...he also made the red telephone in the insurance ad...and he was also on the first series of robot wars, his robot was the first one to have a flippy over/self righting mechanism... just thought I'd share that info with you all...
Sorry greeno, you are wrong. The opening and closing credits, where he goes into an old fashioned garage are Bourton on the Water in the Cotswolds.

But all the adventures that he has are filmed in Birmingham. I recognise some of the places such as Cannon Hill Park and Centenery Square.
To quote the website 'Wikipedia':
Originally the programme was set in the city of Birmingham in England, hence the name: in addition to its onomatopoeic nature of a car engine revving, Brum is a common colloquial name for Birmingham and its inhabitants are known as Brummies. Recent series have undergone a change of format and make no specific mention of Birmingham, calling it the "Big Town", but Brum is still filmed there and many Birmingham streets and landmarks can be seen in each episode.
