The Suzuki swift and its variants were the best super minis

Quentin Wilson vs David Mitchell - plus how does inflation and car market change?

4:45 Absolutely Priceless. Absolutely every kid in the back of a Micra:

Starlet should have been in this

Love these, but one word... rust

Right at the bottom of the market I bought a white 3dr for £4250. With mot & tax.

I never did manage to come by one of these all those years ago, but I love to watch these old clips showcasing them. Thanks for the upload. :)

Horrobly uninformative amd pandering. Love it.

Back in the 1990's I used to really look forward to watching Top Gear on then BBC2 analogue television. Quentin Willson always gave good sound advice when buying second hand cars, not only from car auctions but privately & car dealers as well. He had a quick & sharp wit & always to the point if not rather dead pan & dry in his humour! Good old VHS quality but you got those fuzzy lines if you didn't clean your VCR's heads! Thank you for posting.

So out of touch now, he's an ev fan so completely irrelevant...

Back when Peugeot actually made a car that was a car and not the bulbous shapeless box on wheels they produce today.

What a brilliant presenter Quentin was.

Cheaper than a Rolex back in the day. Try and buy one today🤣you need £30-50k to even get near one. But Fast Fords have always been good IMHO!

where clarkon and hammock? and may?!!!1

And to think that all those Sierras ended up in the compactor less than 10 years later... Unworthy.

\The Genk built ones were very rust prone, my '89 1.6L was so rotten by the time it was 8 years old I was forced to sell it on spares or repairs...

Ive got a c180 1997 pre facelift with electric windows in the rear and front, wood everywhere, sunroof, air-conditioning, and all of that with 116.300 km on it, has some problems like my righr suspension is squeaky and some other little shits but it's impressively nice car, not really fast but i don't step om the gas anyway so i dont really care 😂

A 1.8 DOING 30MOG IN THEM DAYS HAHAHA SHITE

So informative and interesting - tv really was better in the old days!

Ex Rentals often turn out to be oil burners, and are even known to offer up a spun bearing or two by their 5th birthdays.

Funny how Quentin completely missed out the 524 TD diesel here. Not sayin its the most desirable model n that but I'd have thought that even back then it coulda been worth looking for g8ven diesels were starting to become popular.

Oh, how far the automakers have fallen! 6000 pounds (12k GBP/15K USD in today money) for a car this fun! They charge you 4 times that (or more plus tip please) now!

Metro Dog Sxxt

The auction tips section is good

ahh the price of these nowadays...

When TV was for people with brains

What I used to like about Top Gear, informative, practical and relatable. Even Clarkson was sensible back them. Now, it’s just stupid mid-lifers jeering perfectly good cars, and thrashing unattainable super cars for cheap cheers and ratings. What a joke. Jog on Top Jeer.

Cossu Sierra

The Escort was garbage, look at the cars you'd have missed out on if your choose one.

This is a Sapphire, mine was 28,000 grand english, vecta, leather and in Burgandy. One car l lost money on amongst others.

The ford seirra rs cosworth was a nice car cause you could have a car that wasen,t deer and was as fast as cars like porshe,s.the only thing was they were easy tae hot wire so they were a joy riding car theive,s car of choice tae steel.a thought the ford escort rs cosworth were better looking and was ma dream car when a was in ma early teens when they came out back in the 90s.

In the US it was sold as the Ford Contour. It was a dreadful car. Unattractive by American standards and significantly more expensive than the Ford Tempo it replaced. The rental car interior and mediocre driving dynamics didn’t help matters. Long term reliability must have been poor because I haven’t seen one on the road in many years.

£8-9k, if only in 2024

My 21-year-old Toyota still has its original light bulbs 😅

I never check the oil 😂😂

My brother bought a Volvo XC90 from an auction. It had been a mobility car so it was 3 years old had a full service history and only had 13k miles on it and he only paid £8450 for it.

My first boss had a whale tail cossie silly bugger wrapped it around a lamppost trying to show off.

This has aged well eh😂

Absolutely stunning looking the Sapphire. I adore these. Thought about investing in one but struggling to find a decent one for under 30k. Absolutely gorgeous after more than 30 years later. Fabulous

It's like I'm watching it through 1970's westworld

Fiat outside italy are not serviced Good enought so that’s why are considered “not realible”

Such a BS review.

what a five head

Had a magenta 4x4 in late 1990'S Was paying £1000 for insurance I was 35 like a fool I sold it after 2 years and spent about £6000 on it what a mistake selling it....

6 grand for a Sierra Cosworth! Not in 2023!

Crazy how the amount of road tests were around staffordshire with the old series of TG

They say Raymond w was in limited slip differential as passing to his freshly settup porn tent in the bolivian state

street legal or sea eagle

Так я так и не понял , форд мондео2 хорошая машина?

4:55 lol same as mine but mine is theoretically grey
