I would absolutely love it if this became a series, where Henry and Vicki drive the new and old versions of iconic cars

Same! Delighted to see Vicki in this vid, one of my favourite presenters; wicked sense of humour and a true petrolhead

The original still looks much more beautiful and elegant in my eyes.

[@Hells_Gift_MB]

Elegant is a very good way of putting it 👍

[@ESKATEUK]

Hells Gift MB it’s just got lovely curves and lines which have been edged off on the new car to make it look more aggressive. But I definitely am in preference of the sleek original design. It’s ageless it could have came out last week and it would fit in like a brand new car.
