Tiff Needell drives the well-awaited 343 horsepower BMW M3, while Vicki, touted “world’s worst passenger”, tries a spot of sidecar racing.
Production code: NBHQ003P
Jason Barlow reports on car depreciation and news on the car world, while Adrian gives a guide on buying second hand Alfa Romeos. Vicki gives her verdict on the Skoda Fabia estate.
Top Gear Fun Fact: This episode used to be completely lost media in its original form until December 2022, when @matterofapinion happily provided his copy of the episode to the TGCC team, and then later in May 2024, so would @assortedvideos4899. The next step then would be to obtain a master of that episode. Also, this featured the long-delayed sidecar racing segment that was supposed to air in episode 7. Wouldn't be the first time when they did that ;)
Thanks to @assortedvideos4899 for the episode.
