Budget Auction

Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May immerse themselves in the world of classic cars to find out if they really are, as the anoraks claim, more fun than modern machinery. Armed with a budget of £3000 each they attempt to buy a pre-1982 car at auction. Then the trio are sent off to Majorca to take part in one very big challenge – a seemingly unfathomable classic car rally. Bona fide rock God Brian Johnson is the star in the Reasonably Priced Car.

Our Take

Confident and engaging. The plot moves, the stakes feel real, and the hour flies by.
