The first televised 147 break in snooker took place on January 11, 1982, achieved by Steve Davis against John Spencer at the Lada Classic. His prize was a Lada Riva - a car which Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson described thus:
"It is obviously essential to make sure that nobody can see who is driving the Lada. A cardboard box is therefore a vital accessory."
