    In 1990 my new company car was the Alfa 164. Mine was with a black exterior with a grey interior. It was some car, the acceleration was incredible and with ample power for all driving conditions. I did a lot of long distance driving, and the comfort level of the seats were just perfect. It will always remain a favourite of mine.

      The point of this show was to cater to those interested in cars not a wider audience hence all the information that those people would like.

      As we fade into our last breath, can you imagine the fear, as that darkness consumes you, and the held hand that was bringing you a vestige of comfort can no longer be felt, the spouse's voice suddenly disappears, and breathing, in a sudden chaos of panic, stops. Who is there, with you, in that self-contained, black, shrinking prison? In that moment as your humanness fades away, I imagine that you, indeed all of us, will experience true Hell - the utter silence, aloneness and complete separation from any falsity and illusion of comfort. Just you, and the agony of nobody to help. What do you think happens next? I have no idea. One day, it will be your turn. My turn. All our turns.

    Can we just go back to £28,921 for a SAAB in 1989, I ran that through an inflation calculator, it came back at £72,429...to put that in perspective a new 5 Series starts at £39,270...

  • @1100HondaCB

    Octane rating = numerical expression of petrol's resistance to detonation. Unleaded=95, 4star=97 and super unleaded=98. LRP replaced 4star and now LRP is obsolete. I love watching these programs as they give so much nostalgia. Amoca and Mobil don't exist now. Also, Gulf and Elf don't exist. In the mid nineties, my home town of Portsmouth had quite a few filling stations, some of which were franchised and had a bit of nostalgia about them, but now there is only a handful. Shame how times change!

    I agree that the fuel duty is out of hand but I must point out which government started the whole problem, New Labour.
    back in 1996 I could get a litre of petrol for 51p, in 1998 it jumped up to 75p and it grew like a cancer.
    Now since 2010 the tory chancellor has stop a further increase on fuel duty several times, in fact there is a closed Petrol station since {2009} down the road from me that still had a litre of diesel advertised at 1.41, when the reopened this year it was 1.35.

    The Mercedes E Class (or equivalent) is well built and can delivery very many years of service. Mercedes state that the car is designed to last for 20 years, and following the correct maintenance and care, then it should last much longer than those 20 years.

    I believe that no matter what party is in power, Conservative, Labour, Liberal, their stuffed. In an economic downturn you just can’t win. The government has virtually no control over the economy and free market forces. Blaming the government for all the problems is both incorrect and pointless and won’t solve a thing. If you must blame a single organisation for oil prices blame OPEC.

    A program by "normal people" for "normal people". And speaking English, which these days is a rare commodity. Particularly in England. JC alas, is already showing signs of what was in the pipeline. WW a "class act" as usual, and what a joy to watch and hear TN mastering a real beast. Thank you very much.

    We in the US had required catalytic converters and could only use unleaded gas (petrol) since 1975. We had no choice in the matter but it also caused less confusion. There is standard 87 octane, midrange 91, and 93-94 octane super, all unleaded. US refineries added lead substitutes at the refineries. I don't know why it took the British so long to just get it over with.

      Australia got Unleaded petrol in 1986 and we got Unleaded 91 and Premium for such tuned cars. E10 or 94 Octane came in the last 15 years.

    29k for a Saab in 89? At a similar time people were getting hammered by interest rates on mortgages...yep, can see why they sold about 3 then
    Those 3 'executive' cars are 60-90k in todays money.
    I think the early '00s were peak value for new cars.

    OMG Tony Blair with his Polo at 11:53! Talking about petrol, I remember when you had a choice of the three different stars and selected whatever one needed as soon as you picked the pump nozzle up. I remember when unleaded came on the scene in the very late eighties and many people were eager to convert their cars to run on it. My parents had a Volvo 340 that they converted to run on unleaded, but it damaged one of the valve seats so my dad ran it on 4star again and it was much better. Good days
