Thanks for sharing this, not only is it good to see old Top Gear and the cars we all miss, it’s nice to see a bit of the old BBC2 programming. Feeling nostalgic 🙂👍🏼
I agree, even though Clarkson had gone by then we still had a proper motoring series and not the crap that came after with Clarkson, Hammond and May. And when motoring programmes were actually about the cars reviewed and tested and not about the presenters. Now Clarkson, Hammond, May and Edd China are treated like gods and idolised. Now everyone's obsessed with Clarkson and his farm or Richard Hammond's garage with all his expensive motors that most of us will never be able to afford. Noone cared if it were Quentin, Tiff or Steve Berry.
Does anyone know the exact date of the Top Gear where Tiff Needell is talking about the Reliant Scimitar and where he talks to Tom Karen at Cannock Chase?. I have a feeling it is from Nov 2000 but can't be 100% sure, and there is no mention of a Scimitar in any eps from the BBC Genome site. I have it on tape but the quality isn't brilliant, would upload it but I think there's some issue with music rights as I seem to recall years ago that an upload had been removed due to youtube's copyright policy. If there's no issue with music then it's odd that they have a big issue with anyone uploading it.
Top Gear going through a low point, some of the presenters they had over the years weren't that good Vicki Butler-Henderson did a good job but the northern guys were mostly a bit crap.
I think she was a great presenter. I also met her once at Brands Hatch. She was incredibly nice to talk to, very friendly and very interesting. One of the best TG presenters in my opinion.
Dear All,, Ur all wrong. This is not Top gear, this show is called Fifth Gear. J Clarkson created Top gear & has always presented it till he got sacked..

I love how that Astra is seen as flashy because it says Turbo on it. Over here, elderly Chevy Cavaliers had more bling.
Wow, a ford KA is a better buy than the new mini! 😅
the Maestro turbo was actually a very good car. Why did he slag it off?
Man was that guy wrong. The Z8 is an absolute classic right now.
Listen to what he says again
😅
"It's a classic already.
Are you deaf?
it’s Pastiche. but we live in ever less tasteful times. 507 is utterly beautiful in the flesh
looking for the episode with the Limited Focus T230 ... was also on pulling power Carlton TV.....thank you!
Concorde was still flying then
Shame, the white Cossie's MOT expired in April 2017. Was hoping these machines stay on the road.
bro was talking about the 80's like it wasnt 12 years ago (for him), that's like us right now talking about 2011...

I love the Z8 so much I am willing to give a kidney for one. Mind my punt
I'm sure those mercedes 190e evo 2's are worth £300k+.
Hello, do you have more episodes from Season 44?
Too pity that it's not even 480p(

Yep
23 years later and we are still hoping.
When Clarkson punched Wilman in the face I became a Grand Tour fan on the spot
He didn’t punch Wilman in the face.
Wilmen is his best friend. It was another younger producer he punched.
Wilmen left with the tri to produce the Grand Tour.
Z8 in the world is not enough
Before Clarkson and his mates went up their own backsides
Yep , actually of the middle of his carier.
Top Gut!!
❤just shows how bad the bbc management is at recognising talent. Truly awful.
The Nissan gets 5/10 but VBH always gets 10/10. She’s lovely.
jason barlow. he certainly lasted the test of time. not 🤣 cannot even remember him
Chemical brothers
Exact 💯
I cant believe how wrong these people are about every car they talk about.
Sound quality is bad but that's not the worst thing about this video.... it has Vicky Butler Henderson in it, can't stand that woman 🤮
Why? Beacouse of her tooth gap ?
@@jacknapier7036 No, it's her smugness i don't like
@@BigMacMick oh , okey then.
I think she was a great presenter. I also met her once at Brands Hatch. She was incredibly nice to talk to, very friendly and very interesting. One of the best TG presenters in my opinion.
@@64bakes nice experience.
This is OG top gear, not old top gear. Old top gear is the trio.
Back days she was 🔥 🥵
Dear All,,
Ur all wrong. This is not Top gear, this show is called Fifth Gear.
J Clarkson created Top gear & has always presented it till he got sacked..
It is Top Gear
The sheer confidence and being totally wrong. This is Top gear you sausage
Since when Andy Wilman presented in Fifth Gear, you dumbass? 🙄🙄
Bad audio.
God, Jason Barlow was an irritating little plum!
This is not top gear
Dull dull dull, both the presenters and the cars.
It was the start of Y2K anyway. Nothing feels good back then.
Very uncomfortably nerdy…..
old Top gear was rubbish
Still far better than The Bland Tour anyway.
@@farishanafiah8461 Errr. nah.
