Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Jeremy, Richard and James look back at the heyday of British car making in the 1970s and check out three British Leyland cars from the era.

Our Take

A genuinely funny hour that works because the presenters clearly love mocking these terrible cars more than they love anything else. The trio bouncing around a test track in wheezing Austin Princesses and Dolomites makes for some of the season’s best physical comedy. The nostalgia angle gives it just enough structure to hang the jokes on. Worth your time.
