Classic car rally challenge part 1 - Top Gear - BBC

I love how Jeremy was so desperate for a convertible he settled for one too small for him to fit in with the top up...

I reckon Hammond should have gone for a Triumph Spitfire and May should have gone for a Morris Minor. I would have gone for a Morris Minor and all I would have done is rotate the front torsion bars and change the rear dampers. My Father is one of, if not, the world's biggest fan of Morris Minors. He knows them inside out and like the back of his hands. He's always told me that the best things to do to a Minor, particularly a series 5, is to change the rear dampers for telescopic dampers. The idea is that they either eliminate or reduce axle tramp and they improve the handling.

Clarkson got it absolutely right going for an Austin Healey. Even if he went over budget. For a classic time trial rally, realistically, you'd want a small and light, front engined sports car.

That Spitfire looked quite tidy tbh, even the colour weren't too bad.

May’s is actually quite good

James really should’ve got the spitfire

Fun fact : The trains are the same if not worse......

So much better than the rubbish made nowadays, especially by the Clarkson copycats.

The cortina would have been so nice

I am from Australia a massive car fan of Top Gear can tell me all the names of the navigators in the passenger seats of there cars for time rally races against the clock on public roads and though towns please Thankyou ?

Where is part 2?

Where is Part 2? It's been 14 Years m8..

"Ladies and gentlemen, we're coming up now to the LAST car"

- said the auctioneer, while eyeing May...

The auctioneer with his adenoids

You just know like 80% of that crowd were those "hardcore auctioneers" who've never had any fun and only ever talk about crankshafts
"These bloodeh Top Gear lads I tell the, chuffin sick of um I am"

That mechanic even doe giving bad news has a news reader type voice

I'm I the only one who likes the Citroen?

I've heard cement mixers quieter than Hammonds Cab.

The part where Jeremy bids on the pink car and James is confused until he realizes it was with James’s number and they all have a laugh is what I’ll miss about these three

It's pretty funny how the video ends while the guy is listing everything wrong with Hammond's car.

“What a dismal racket”. lol!

Wish they had released the rest of this,think it was the very last challenge for the real topgear.

I love the Citroen!

That spitfire is cool

Keep coming back to watch it again. Currently waiting for ACA auction to start today (25th Jan 2025) Cannot believe how cheap that Cortina was at £550, would be pushing towards 10k today. For those who are interested, the 'adult' warehouse is still there😁😁😁😁😁😁

"What a dismal racket"

Was there no seatbelts invented at the time these cars were made?? Im guessing not, im amazed they don't get obliterated by the pigs

BBC....... how have the ratings and views been since firing Clarkson, and losing Hammond and May????

I have never seen the second part of this challenge . Is it in yt?

All of them would worth 10x more in Turkey

"Go Ugly Early". Class act 😕

Those mechanics were definitely purposely jacking up the charges and list of parts !!! Never trust greedy mechanics 😂😂😂

Only the English would import such junk .😂

Should be illegal to sell cars in that condition without them being transported via trailer to private property or to get serviced

Was that a cortina going for 300 quid

Who do you think you are moment 😂😂

"Adult Warehouse"

Fill it up!!😂😂😂 if u know u know ❤
