"Top Gear" vilifies the Morris Marina; a running gag throughout the series involved dropping a piano on a Marina every time the car is featured, generating angry reactions by Morris Marina lovers, dubbed "Morris Extremists" whose letters would be read out and mocked in subsequent episodes. In the "Top Gear" book "Crap Cars" by Richard Porter, the Marina was named fourth worst car of all time. However, presenter James May stated that at least one Marina should be preserved, as a warning to future generations.
