<p>Basil Fawlty once beat his car when it broke down but most motorists seem to be fond of their vehicles.</p>
<p>More than half (53%) give names to their car, with Betty, Betsy and Bess the most popular, a poll by webuyanycar.com found.</p>
<p>As many as 60% of women and 41% of men feel emotionally attached to their motor, with 25% shedding a tear when they part company.</p>
<p>Other popular names include Bertie, Daisy, Bertha and Meg, while Harrison and Anna have been used by owners of Ford vehicles.</p>
<p>One owner called his car God as &#8220;it moves in mysterious ways&#8221; while another dubbed his motor Efan Ekoku after the Nigerian-born football star of the 1990s.</p>
<p>The poll of 3,000 people showed that red and blue cars were the most likely to be given a name, while grey and green vehicles were least likely.</p>
<p>First cars were the most likely to be given a name, yet 17% got emotionally attached to every car they own.</p>
<p>Despite the majority of car owners naming their vehicles, just 12% passed on the name to the new owner once they sold it, with only 2% continuing to call the car by the same name.</p>
<p>These were the top 10 car names: 1 Betty, 2 Betsy, 3 Bess, 4 Bertie, 5 Daisy, 6 Bertha, 7 Meg, 8 Charlie, 9 Herbie, 10 Bob.</p>
