Jason Barlow celebrates 75 years of the legendary Italian marque, Maserati, while Adrian Simpson shares the pleasures and pitfalls of buying a used Mazda MX-5.
Production code: NBHQ001B
Also, Tiff Needell tests a group of cars that give the most “power for your pound”, and gives the Top Gear Verdict is given on the Audi A4 Multitronic. Plus, Vicki Butler-Henderson test drives the BMW Compact, and Andy Wilman reports on a man with the world's largest collection of petrol cans.
Top Gear Fun Fact: This episode of Top Gear starts off with a new production code change, moving from NBHM to NBHQ, and more than that, this episode should have had the sidecar racing segment as teased in the previous episode, but that segment got delayed to Episode 9 - as they used to say on Top Gear, "a little later than advertised".
More than that, this episode in particular without the outro would have been just 27:20 - the outro got extended to 1 min 35s (from the standard 30s) just to advertise the fact that the JD Power Survey 2001 will be the next programme...
Thanks to @assortedvideos4899 for the episode.
