The heyday of petrol-
head friendly prime time TV shows may be over, but it seems that a lot of us haven’t forgotten the great cars we used to watch our TV heroes speed around in. In a recent poll carried out by Kwikfit, 18.4% of those asked named the talking car from Knight Rider (known as KITT), as the TV car they would most like to own.
Out of all the cars that made the top ten, there are some true classics that take you back to when their TV shows were first on air (or to the repeats if you’re too young to have seen them the first time round!). For those growing up in the sixties, “The Saint”’s Volvo P1800 and the Batmobile made the list, while the eighties kids will be pleased to see four of their favourites on there too: the Ferrari Testarossa from “Miami Vice”, the Ferrari 308 from “Magnum PI”, the Dodge Charger from “Dukes of Hazzard” and the GMC Vondura van from “The A-Team” all made the top ten.
However, there were one or two cars missed off the list which were a huge part of my TV time when growing up, and which I’d love to take for a spin! For instance, the Reliant Robin from “Only Fools and Horses” was an integral part of the hapless high jinks of Del Boy and Rodney Trotter and added so much to the comic genius of the show. Another car from TV past which I always loved watching was the car from “Brum”, a 1920s Austin 7 convertible, which in my opinion, would be great fun to drive!
