That was a Bristol... :whistler:
Not in the early episodes.
I'm watching series one on 113 this week.
Just had a look at the tape.
Def a Jensen.

Just to clarify.
Thank God for Wiki.....................

In the first episode, Lynley drove a Peugeot 607; in subsequent early episodes, he drove a Jensen Interceptor, and in later episodes a Bristol 410. Despite the frequently recurring remark in PBS Mystery! presenter Diana Rigg's introductions to the series that Lynley "is the one with the Bentley", he never drove a Bentley on TV. (He does, however, in the George novels.)

I saw a white Austin 1800 ute today.  Red wheels, chrome dress rings, evoking a street rod look I guess.

If you ever get a chance to buy an 1800 ute in good nick and at a reasonable price, grab it.
They're getting to be like hen's teeth.
Any good one that pops up tends to be whisked off to the U.K. because they love them over there and they were only ever sold in Australia in limited numbers.
I have seen absolute basket cases (rusty) go back to England where they wouldn't even be looked at twice here.
