And not just any example, but character Arthur Daley's famous 1981 Daimler Sovereign from the hit TV series Minder. It was the car George Cole (in the photo) wanted to buy himself, and came close to doing so before it was given away in a TV Times competition. It was used in series 4,5,6 and the Christmas Special Minder on the Orient Express. The car was auctioned in 2017 with 43,990 recorded miles on the clock.
The Ford Capri equally famously driven by Daley's boxer turned bodyguard, Terry McCann (played by Dennis Waterman), was also on offer. As Arthur would almost certainly have said: "Buy the pair and from now on the world is your lobster."
