  • Old Top Gear episodes

    Found some old Top Gear episodes on Youtube. I found one on the MG Maestro from about mid 90s or something like that. It was presented by a little crazy fella with an annoying voice.

    Hears the clip.

    I'm also on the look out for the Rover 200 review by Chris Goffey if anyone finds it let me know. I haven't seen that one properly.

    Let me know if you come across the report he did on the Ledbury Maestros. I remember seeing it back in 1998, but haven't ever seen it since.

      I'm on the lookout for that one. If I see anything I'll let you know.
      I know I seen something on the Rover 100 somewhere.

      I found one on the Vauxhall Astra and the Rover 800.

            I remember the first one being on ,what was that chaps name? Seem to remember all he wanted to talk about was bikes.
            Theres an interesting link that appears with that, a clip from an 80s drama called winning streak. Basicly it was about a chap who rallied an escort and moved up to a 6R4,fell out with his dad,then learning his dad was about to die (on the start line of a stage!) drove from Scotland to west yorks to see him one last time
            What I had forgotten was the car was a prototype 6R4 painted up for the program

              Thanks for that Sam. That was a really interesting review of the Rover 200. Chris Goffey did really good reviews back then.

              In the Astra review does anyone know what that song is at 0:13?

                  Thats it. I thought it was Enya at first.



                  That red Astra is just like the old one we had. It was shiny but later on the paint decided to go dull. Good car though the man up the road had it for seven years when we brought it off him and we had it for about five or six years.


                  I found this one. Its on the Rover Metro.

                          It would be nice to see a decent copy of the Maestro clip with Viki Butler-Henderson. I've only ever seen poor reproductions of it.

                            If I can find the video and my copy's any good I'll stick it on a DVD - maybe you could get it reproduced as a club thing?

                              Talking about Second hand cars in a very old Top Gear clip a Maestro appears. Also a Montego makes an appearance.
