Most inappropriate car in a TV Series / film?

[gmaz]

As this is the TV & Film section of a motoring forum, what is the most inappropriate car you have seen on screen?

Examples

ItvX - Gone - The female cop had an '02 Honda which would not be CAZ compliant in Bristol. Most of the cars on there seemed to be from the late '90's or early 2000's despite the show being set in the modern day.

Sky - Under Salt Marsh - Female lead had a classic Saab 900 in an area regularly blasted by sea water and storms. Car looked in excellent condition.

BBC - Lynley - A Jensen Interceptor - such a practical city runabout. Let's hope the local Police commissioner approves his All-Star fuel card.

General
- Cars are nearly always spotlessly clean (except for the single strand of fibre in the boot from the victim's jumper)
- Way too many Saabs
- Don't get me started on Morse and Bergerac

Spender driving a Sierra Cosworth. One of the most stolen cars of the era and he's investigating criminals in some of the roughest areas of Newcastle.

And during filming the original 2wd Cosworth was stolen and burnt out

Bergerac Triumph

'Fire up the quattro'

Really? On a coppers salary?

Lynley was a member of the landed gentry, so not much of a stretch for him to have a car handed down the generations.

Any American cop series/movie set in the 1980s/1990s where the cop was a down beat low level nobody who could barely afford to feed/clothe himself but always found enough working capital to own a top of the range mustang/corvette as his go to work car

He was a DCI, £70k a year or so (on todays pay scale) and he lived a simple life, he ate Spagetti Hoops for Tea!

That and of course he was an Angel, or The Grim Reaper, I can't remember exactly, but something like that.

Should realistically have only made it to half the crime scenes

Let's not forget that it was a Quattro from the future.

How much would a UR quattro have cost in 1982 as I guess they would have been special order then

(Respect it was a later car on false plates)

Definitely his, not a job car?

Got to be that VW Beetle in the Herbie films, no way would it have won those races :-)

The original opening titles for The Professionals had them all screeching to a halt in a Silver Shadow for a bit of training . Always thought that was a strange choice for a police vehicle.

along with the most innapropiate actor to play a German Officer..

[C5_Steve]

This car chase from Goldeneye bothers me more than it should. DB5 should have been left way behind.

There was a white car in the background during a horse charge in Braveheart as I remember
