I own a 1982 Lancia Beta Hpe. Absolutely no rust. May be the problem depended on different year series

[@malcstag]

I had 2 beta coupes 2000s, and an hpe 200ie, great engines, magic looks! Ah they were the days. Just so differnt to teh usual stuff on teh roads then

[@Mircuzz]

as an italian....i just have to rememberthe greatest cars ever made in Turin.....

[@LEATHERANDGAY]

Dedra is much nice than Tempra!!! I had one and no electric problems and a wonderful engine!

[@ErnestHemingwayJr]

My favourite car and my favourite song... on my favourite tv show. Wow!

[@energymc22]

Thanks for the re-done audio, it was much needed!

[@Aspartan3]

037 was the best looking lancia period.

[@Heatfarmer]

I think that would be a Flaminia, period :)

[@bent8rover]

For some behind the scenes filming, see 'Clarkson drives my Stratos'

[@Avoider_net]

@georgeflacker It just shows that they understand the importance of presenting the classics to a new generation as that would inspire them for years to come.

i wishd id had montecarlo 1983

[@bent8rover]

@musashi1865 Passenger door mirror wasn't a legal requirment. It was optional.

[@Croissier]

the quality... :s but the content is great!

[@bennybradycom]

it's crazy how much his voice has changed... Smoking is good.... for your radio voice!

[@215alessio]

I ment that I toatlly dissagree with Clarkson. The Lancia Dedra was a beautifully made car, outstanding interior and dashboard , it was very reliable to! and wasn't a rust bucket like a golf 3 the Fiat Tempra however was a bit off even it had almost the same reliability but it just hadn't any stile and the interiors were cheap So clarkson is just brabbeling about the fiat tempra better looking as the lancia Dedra. and the electrics were ok,

[@vintageman91]

well those people they asked didnt know so much history of rally at all. im soon 20 years old and i know that Audi, Lancia and Peugeot has made the biggest leaps forward in rally and i dont think its gonna be any more cars that gonna make bigger steps forward.

[@andythesoupdragon]

AAAH! That'll be Jeremy's wooden magnet! Don't think anybody was fooled by that one.

[@215alessio]

the dedra was a beautiful car with a respectful look. the tempra was a bit off I am happy they pulled out of a country without gratitude for italian cars. You deserve vauxhalls all the way and austin metro's

[@777CarFan]

nice

[@zenzombie72]

Top Gear was on air during 89 to 94. So why did they never feature the Delta?

[@magandriftz2883]

I went to wikipedia and searched Fiat Tempra and its nice actually. Not even ugly than the dedra.

[@bent8rover]

@brucostaff Well done on that comment. You were 8 years old when this was broadcast.

[@Dukerdr]

@gabrifansenna Heard it Through the Grapevine, Marvin Gaye

[@Zeusdattilo]

@Lion Wood Agree. Absolutely. Sometimes I doubt that Clarkson has good taste in cars.

[@bent8rover]

@Mircuzz Stabilimento Lancia di Chivasso :-)

[@musashi1865]

3:05 wheres the other mirror?

[@bent8rover]

Have you a better copy?

[@19GuTi83]

Dedra uglyer than tempra??? Omg Jeremy...are you serious? :)

[@Zeusdattilo]

I disagree with Clarkson. Lancia is a great brand known for some of the most beautiful cars ever made. Moreover, Lancia is one of the most winning cars in rallies. I think that less cars were better in rallies than Fulvia Hf and Lancia Stratos. Then in 80's Lancia made lots of beuatiful cars as Delta, Delta HF, Beta Montecarlo, Gamma coupe.

[@AutoWorldTube]

A good car ! Forza Fiat group

[@musashi1865]

@bent8rover LAWL!

[@Klottelitsch]

I prefer the great Leyland Princess 2200 HLS over any Lancia.

[@Zeusdattilo]

Leyland Princess is a nice car, but, honestly you can't compare a Princess to a Lancia Delta HF or to a Stratos and not even to a Beta Montecarlo.
