Tony Mason looks back at two of Britain’s failed attempts to infiltrate the US market during the post war years: the 1949 Austin Atlantic, which was considered overpriced in relation to its power, and the 1950 Triumph Mayflower, an unpopular miniature variation on the Rolls-Royce. Plus a review of the latest version of the Subaru Legacy, a four-wheel drive with an urban appearance.
Tập 15
In the concluding episode of the current series, Jeremy Clarkson, Tiff Needell, Quentin Willson and Vicki Butler-Henderson select their favourite cars of the year.

Volkswagen’s Golf GTi first came to Britain in 1976 and soon became the choice of the fashionable set.

Jeremy Clarkson asks whether this latest version can beat the competition.
