Top Gear - Season 17 - Episode 8
In the last of the series, as a celebration of summer William Woollard, Sue Baker, Chris Goffey and Frank Page take to the hills of North Wales in four British designed and built sports cars, to try and recapture the lost joys of ‘wind in the hair’ motoring. Chris Goffey brings us up to date with the fortunes of Chris Goodwin and the other novice racing drivers from the first programme of the series, with a report from Oulton Park on the sixth round of the Cellnet Formula First Championship. Does the MOT test, first introduced in 1960, still serve a useful purpose? Sue Baker tries to find out how sure you can be that a car carrying an MOT certificate is, in fact, safe to be on the road. William Woollard road tests what’s claimed to be Britain’s first motor car, the 1894 Santler, and asks which eight cars would be voted the 20th century’s ‘cars of the decade’.
