My old Jeep Cherokee was in an episode of Morse - the last one - Morse parked next to it in a carpark next to the river when going to look at the crime scene

My Ka was on the TV back in 2003 (i think)

Episode of Traffic cops (or something like that), could clearly been seen from Helicopter as it chased scroates through Sheffield.

Does that count?

I had an ex-Clio cup racecar and found some youtube clips of it racing when the series was covered on tv.

Does that count?

Top gear borrowed the numberplate when they tried to replicate the james bond barrel roll jump with an MG Maestro.

I was parked on an industrial estate near the williams factory in 2001, when a new MINI a proper mini and Jeremy Clarkson turned up and started arsing about driving under a JCB bucket and doing handbrake turns whilst filming. It was pre modern Top Gear and I've never found what it was for but I must be in the background sitting in a blue Turbo R eating a Ginsters pasty and talking on the phone. Should be easy to spot as I had a mohican at the time!
