At 8 p.m. on Tuesday 6th. January 1987 ITV viewers saw a gleaming burgundy Jaguar 2.4, registration number 248 RPA, being driven onto the forecourt of a garage. The man behind the wheel was Chief Inspector Morse and this was his first outing on television. In physical terms he was not destined to go very far - seconds later a gang of crooks smashed into the side of his cherished car - but in broadcasting terms the Oxford detective was going to run and run. As a series, Inspector Morse has proved to be a smash hit. Corgi Classics have just re-released the Inspector Morse Jaguar so you may now own your own 1:43 scale model complete with add-on wing mirrors.
