In this clip, Jeremy Clarkson drives Ford's concept car to rival the others, the GT90. This is complemented by the fact, that unlike the GT40, he could actually fit in.
Production code: NBMX412Y
TX: 26/10/1995
For context on the above brief description: Jeremy wanted to try out his childhood idol, the Ford GT40, for Series 34, Episode 4 of Top Gear (broadcast on 12/10/1995). The only trouble was, that Jeremy quite literally couldn't fit in, as the "40" in GT40 meant it was 40 inches tall, which meant he had to give the keys to the former Top Gear presenter Noel Edmonds, to drive it on camera.
As a "Top Gear Fun Fact", Noel in the late 1970s was caught driving the Ford GT40, naked. And Noel himself even did the segment on the GT40 itself by using his personal Series 3 model, for Series 2, Episode 10 of the programme (shown on 03/07/1979).
Jeremy when reminiscing the GT90 on Series 3, Episode 1 (of rebooted Top Gear, tx 26/10/2003) during the road test of the well-awaited Ford GT, negatively remarked about the car, saying that it was "horrid; it had a top speed of 2 and handled like a cartoon".
