Which detective's car is your favorite? !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! has his Jaguar, !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! has his Lincoln Continental, but I've always been partial to !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . And this is not BBC-centric - any movie or TV series anywhere.

I've heard that the present owner of !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! will build you one, but only if he meets you and likes you.

Obligatory Mustang for Detective Frank Bullitt.

The Continental. Few other detective cars could fit so much junk in the trunk.

I like Columbo's car - a 1959 Peugeot 403.

Do spies count? I'd nominate John Steed's Jaguar if so.

Bodie and Doyle's Capris. There was a white MK II Escort in there somewhere too.

Parody but it gets the general scope... sort of.

Do we only get one? Detectives in the 80's pretty much all drove killer cars. I choose this one because hoon .

"The Bridge" it is a Danish/Swedish production, I quite like it. I think there's also an american version.

I've heard that the present owner of Bristol Cars will build you one, but only if he meets you and likes you.

Tony Crook is still running Bristol?

Just added to my Netflix ... can't thank you enough. Found both Wallanders, and now this. I will watch police procedurals all day, every day, if I can. I can also recommend Scott & Bailey to you - BBC procedural, two women with problems, very good. Just finished Series 1 - the discs for the two series made are on Netflix.

Then there's the 944 from The Tunnel. The Anglo/French version of the Danish/Swedish series.

Cheating a little bit, but detective Roy Earle drives a sweet Cadillac Series 62 convertible in the video game L.A. Noire

I watched that for one reason, and one reason only: a large amount of the filming was done in my hometown.

I stopped watching it. The French lass was quite nice, moody and attractive (read into that what you will. Lol). But I got bored quite quickly of it.

Pending on Netflix, but I added the discs - thanks.

Scott and Bailey are good. As is of course A Touch Of Frost, DCI Banks and Foyles War.

I love Death In Paradise though. I never miss an episode.

Yeah, my interest dropped off around episode 6, though I did get a good laugh out of the various ways they repurposed the bits of town they were actually able to film in. The front of the local, utterly shite nightclub stood in for a long-distance coach terminal at one point. The suggestion that we played host to some kind of powerful crime boss - operating out of a shut-down seaside pub that me and my friends used to mess around in, at that - was the real highlight, though.

Clémence Poésy. I quite liked her, too, and it wasn't until I googled The Tunnel a second ago to figure out who she was that I realised she was actually in Harry Potter.

John Steed and Emma Peel? Detectives of a sort?

Maybe NSFW

Lol.

Joséphine Jobert (aka Officer Florence Cassell) from Death in Paradise is very pretty indeed too.

You know what was a great car in a slightly less great movie? The purple GTO Vin Diesel drove in XXX, a really sharp looking '67.

Good Afternoon, I came across this post by chance whilst searching for Bristol Cars on the Internet. Strangely enough I happen to be the current owner of the exact Bristol 410 that was used within the Inspector Lynley Series. I purchased the car in 2009 and had it fully restored by Bristol Cars at the factory in Filton. I am pleased to report that it won the National Bristol Owner’s Club Concours D’Elegance for it’s class this year at the Bicester Heritage Centre, Oxford. It is a beautiful car of which I am its very proud owner. Very pleased to hear that you are a fan of it too.

I am a fan of both BBC detective series and the cars used in them. Did you know you can have Inspector Morse’s Jag brought to your party? I have chatted with his daughter on Twitter (@abigailthaw) and told her about this. By the way, she has a part in the new Morse prequel, Endeavour. It is an outstanding show. And what a fantastic thing to have - Lynley’s Bristol. I know cars pretty well, and I wasn’t quite sure what it was when I first saw it. But I sure found out.

I loved watching this series! My parents got me hooked on Masterpiece Theater at an early age, so I was quite excited about this one, and seeing the Bristol was super cool! The BBC never fails to throw money at the important details and period cars that really put everything together.

I’m super glad you bought it and put in the TLC that Inspector Lynley would have!
