From an era when Top gear was about CARS & not 3 adolescent wallies

But this was factual television. Not entertainment. You can’t compare the two despite the name being the same..

This was boring I mean Noel Edmunds What was he most famous for Umm Mr Blobby As for Janet well blue Peter The simple fact is that this program is just factual and as boring as watching paint dry Where as the 3 guys who some people call adolescent well those 3 guys entertain This show well you could buy any car magazines

Somebody had to say it.

Love watching all these old shows. I was only 4 years old when this came out. Cars were much better then

I was there! Over 30 years ago. How time flies

Me too, still got the brochure pack for the NSX!

I used to record these episodes on to VHS. I used to watch this episode quite a lot, the Lotus Carlton being the big favourite 😜.

Noel's driving was incredible in the Mini.

That 3000gt - stunning car with specs from the future!

Thank you for uploading this very interesting. My takeaway from this is that cars have gotten larger and with all the technological gains are only two seconds faster 0 to 60

24:50 Honda NSX and Janet Ellis - name an iconic duo

Jesus the roll on that discovery 😂

Cheers for the upload, a shame that helium-voiced Ellis is in place of lovely Michele Newman

I do love the Lotus Carlton but I was sadly more interested in the Astra GL behind it. 34:21

At the 95 earls court show I was 10 there was a bear of a guy who was trying to check the boot on one of these. Literally shaking the thing on its mountings. I came along popped the handle and up it came. My dad says he made a swift exit. However tables were turned on me at the 97 or 98 show with a 156 i was looking at it admiring the styling standing near the rear door and a know all guy came along and said heres the doorhandle like I didnt understand. I was devestated cos I knew about it being in the c pillar from all my what car reading. Anyway my fave car to sit in for podium appeal was a C70 at the kent country fair in 98. In that orange it was just amazing, felt so nice inside too.

When cars were a big thing..

I believe the AX 201 run to Edinburgh was achieved in top gear all the way.

They should make the Previa again. It did everything well and it could shift if you were late for your flight too.

VW making claims for environment cleanliness with the new polo, where did we hear that some time later? 😂😂

Do you have any 1988 Motorshow coverage?

Goffey had so much more class than that lizard man edmonds. Sartorial elegance personified.

It's so strange watching car presenters review cars that have mainly come and gone now! Imagine if you could go back in time to 1990 with today's car designs like a time machine, I wonder how the majority of today's cars would look at the show in 1990 and whether the designs would be loved or hated,esp the tech??

Edmonds the lizard is a time traveller doing this looking identical to 2020s

When cars were great looking all brands and models were different not like todays cars all coppying each other so much, such as mercedes used to have different models that looked different from each other but today all look the same, and same for other cars makes and models, also all have cheap quality materials and crap techy stuff.

in hindsight, these are one big advertisement for the motor industry on the, non commercial 'ad free' tax payers BBC. Hmmmm.

Now way there was a yugo at a car show
