And of course Inspector Crabbe drives a Saab but then he's just another exception that proves the rule or something like that. :coplight:

DCI Barnaby drives a modern Volvo, but:

Bergerac drove a 1949 Triumph

Campion drove a Lagonda (appropriate for era)

Fearless
Vera drives a Def 90

Morse drove a Mk2 Jag

Inspector Lynley drove a 1969 Bristol 410

Inspector George Gently drove a Rover P5 - but that's appropriate for the era in which the series is set.

Gerry Standing (an ex-cop in New Tricks) drove a 1977 Triumph Stag

Gently's DS (Bacchus), drove a Corsair, contemporary but flash for the day. Why did the coppers drive their own cars? Was it because the Pommie force was running short of 30" push bikes?
