Is that Rambos boss ?

Top Gear when it was a proper motoring show aimed at everyone.

Jesus that episode was nearly 50 years ago 47 to be precise i just wonder what liz thinks looking back to 1977 she must be so proud good on liz

Its mad that the 2 countrirs that lost the ww2 are the 2 richist countries that make the best cars are Germany and japanat the turn of the last century england had over a 100 different car makers now i think its about 3

Just seen this episode of top gear for the first time and loved top gear for years and i dont no when some commented saying they wish they could go back to the eighties well im with you all the way i loved the eighties what a difference between the 70tys and the 80tys compared to 2024 the world is far worse than back then yes we had high unemployment and the treat of nuclear war back then but people were more happier and cars were far nicer and better compared to today rubbish every car is alike my buddy bought an electric car 4 years ago the battery gave on 2 weeks ago and it will cost him around 20 grand just to replace it and thats the cheapist if his lucky i always buy second hand cars from eighties and seventies i drive a ford seirea 86 and it is still better than any of todays cars lovely design and a classy car and im restoring an 70s ford escort i also have 1976 ford capri i cant wait until i fully restore it id never buy a electric car never or would i buy any new car there all the same these says made out of tin and plastic horrible i was a teenager back then and i also would go back to the eighties in a flash and be rid of all the woke people that are about these days people back then hadent much but we were far happier and looked after each other

People were caring that time now assholes

I miss when the UK was like this, now not only would there be a stabbing or two, but manufacturers have killed the parts market.

Shows like this are dead and it saddens me

Ass-e-metric

The last year of shillings being legal tender!!

F reg is 88-89. So why the 1977 on name title?

Them petrol prices 😔

That Top Gear address he gave in Birmingham is now a Mosque.

2024 midnight view 😂

alfa apparently last tax due in December 1999

When Clarkson was the clown providing the light relief from the serious business of imparting interesting information.

Terrible camera angles ,just about gets the car in frame

4:18, an era when we could be impressed opening the bonnet and not be confronted with a skip full of plastic and spaghetti.

Better for the Environment $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

This was the best generation of cars, this is also what the government wants to take away from us by replacing with EV cars, shame:(

Never new top gear was that old. When I first looked, i thought it was jimmy saville 😂😂

I was looking to buy a 10 year old Yaris but this video made me wanna look for a really old MR2 or something

It's funny that expert's were saying back then that the standard holding positions on a steering wheel were stupid yet it's still standard today. Not to mention the so called "Institute of Advanced Motorists" aka the wheel shufflers. Still say it's the best way despite the overwhelming evidence that it's not.

Who would’ve thought Clarkson would become a farmer.watching this in2024 it’s so nice to see how uk was.people born over last 10 years wouldn’t believe it,it mostly couldn’t understand the English language.if only our government cared and our country was still like this instead of a 3rd world country in the making😪🇬🇧🇬🇧🇮🇱🇬🇧🇬🇧

Definitely not 1977!

and then you have the modern day mini....

the old format top gear fit so much into 30mins

Great times ☺

I like the way it was priced per Gallon. They made it that expensive in the end that they had to price it in litres

Tiffs drives that Sierra again after a multi-decade gap on The Late Brake show channel.

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.

Amazing that green fuel was petrol. Without lead. How enlightening.

Not a gatso in sight. I miss them days 🤣

Watershead moment. The war on private vehicle ownership begins. And just look at where we are.

I literally would do anything to go back to 1989

Thank you, was great. Music. Subscribed.

The smart money goes on a large German saloon from Audi, BMW, Mercedes. 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. One shall never really go wrong in choosing the German cars from the Big Three.

That’s been voiced over by Boysie from Only Fools at 13.31 😂😂

Clarkson’s public school watered down Yorkshire accent Classic

Don't miss loads from that era but touring cars and Murray walker I most defo do.

This is the REAL topgear. Not three posh twats cringing up the screen.

Great memories for me watching TV, simpler days if you could only go back.

yep selling us this environment bull since the 80s

You know ur old when the new cars are on F plate watching this and 171.9p PER GALLON

Makes you realise how Clarkson et al totally ruined this show.

When top gear was about cars

Lead in petrol! Mmmmmmmm.....

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.

11:38 £1.71 per gallon / 45p per liter ..

Christ did anyone see when the presenter with the red car filling up in the petrol station, did you see the price??!!! He put £8.00 quid in and it was over 20 litres??!! Jeez to get 20 litres today that would be nearly 40 quid
