Top Gear prepare to take viewers on a trip down memory lane this Sunday (June 12, 2022), the series has finally revealed the answer.Following a survey of over 1000 British adults, commissioned by the long running car programme, the burgundy Jaguar Mark 2 driven by Inspector Morse was declared as the nation's favourite.The classic British-made model was voted as the top cop car by over 53% of participants, with presenter Chris Harris sharing his love for the vehicle.He said: "The Mark 2 originally had a reputation for grace and sophistication but by the 1980’s when Morse was on the TV, it had a different image, it was a bit more bank robber than stately home. "But it all fitted with Morse’s character, the curmudgeon and intellect who loved real ale and crosswords and disliked pleasantries."However, Inspector Morses' famous motorcar was closely followed by another classic that just missed out on the top spot.Gene Hunt's iconic Audi Quattro from BBC time travelling crime drama Ashes to Ashes was a close second, while the detective's Ford Cortina from Life On Mars was listed at number nine in the top ten.Making up the top three was the Ferrari 308 GTS driven by Thomas Magnum in American crime series Magnum PI, with the list completed by vehicles driven by some of TV's most iconic crime fighting teams.Taking fourth position was the Ford Capri driven by William Bodie and Ray Doyle in The Professionals, while Starsky and Hutch's famous Ford Gran Torino came in at number five.That's not all, as the top ten nation's favourite cop cars continued with Sonny Crockett's Ferrari Testarossa from Miami Vice taking sixth position, Vera Stanhope's Land Rover Defender in seventh and Inspector Jack Regan's Ford Consul GT from The Sweeney.
