Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Jeremy and James show off and compare their Rolls Royce Corniche and the dictator chic Mercedes “Grosser”, ageing but massive luxury limos they bought for the price of a new Ford Mondeo. The Nissan GT-R wondercar gives Jeremy a thorough working over around Japan’s legendary Fuji circuit, and entrepreneurs Peter Jones and Theo Paphitis venture out from the Dragons’ Den to become the “Stars in a Reasonably Priced Car.”

Our Take

A solid middle-of-the-road hour. The old limo comparison is good predictable fun, and Clarkson getting battered by the GT-R at Fuji is the highlight, genuinely funny and a bit humbling. The double guest slot drags slightly since two Dragons means less time for each. Worth a watch if you’re a fan, but nothing here you’ll remember next week.
