It was a few years ago and I never really watched it that much but the car from Six Feet Under stood out.

Face in the A-Team had a white Corvette with an orange stripe down the side.
In a sit-com in the 70's called something like "Cuckoo's Nest", Lewis Collins played Gavin who always referred to his "Pantera". You never saw it but you knew he had it!
The Persuaders - Aston DBS and Ferrari 246GT.
The (original) Avengers - Bentley (vintage) and Emma Peel's Lotus Elan
New Avengers - Broadspeed Jag XJ, TR7 and I think an XJS.

I think these days, with so many channels, the benefit of placing cars is far less profitable and cras are also far less glamourous as everyone has one.

Mr Bean's MINi and Del-Boy's Reliant don't really count.

Terry and June had a Princess and then an Ambassador IIRC while Hyacinth Bucket's other half had a Honda didn't he?

Whoever was in charge of continuity didn't do a great job. These two swap around loads.

Initially Victor had a pink Hillman Avenger. I think he then had a Rover 200/Honda Ballade and lastly a Nissan Almera registration P155 OLE, much to the disgust of Margaret.
