Nostalgic memories, especially seeing Arthurs' Hyundai. That was wild-card choice of car at the time. Seeing Craig there scrubbing his Da's car is a poignant moment. I would have never taken notice of it at the time, I'm the same age as Craig. But looking back on this - 20 years ago - you can't help but get that sense of "simpler times" or something. I suppose we all say that but still.
With some tweaks, they could actually sell that car today! The styling was spot on, then they threw a Cosworth into it. I so wanted one - went to my Ford dealer, but it was £29,000. I had recently bought a house for £45,000!
was in the passenger seat of one of these with Miki Biaison at the wheel blatting through woodhill forest, Auckland, New Zealand back in 1993 as an 11 year old...my uncle, John Wheeler, was the chief engineer (and also responsible for the RS200)
@4:03 - worth 50p!! those were the days Jeremy, each sheep you had on your farm cost you about £100, I'm betting you would have been delighted with a 50p per sheep profit 😄
I remember the first time I saw an Escort Cosworth in the 90s, I was riding my bike from my friend's house down a country lane and saw it chasing a Porsche 928, the V8 roar of the Porsche and the whistling turbo of the Cossie stuck with me. Two of my favourite cars just having fun was a site to behold!
Top gear original and Clarkson were taking out BECAUSE he stands against the hole adjenda that's being pushed around the world now zero emissions and green bollox 15 min city's. Conspiracy theorist funny word hows about moran for your self. .while if u look in 2020 lots off conspiracy theories floating about now there all every day events or running systems .
one of the greatest cars ever, cheapish at the time, good for shopping, driving daily, or rallying. and looks the bollox straight from the showroom. there isnt many cars that i wouldnt change from the shop, but thats one of them!
The greatest Cosworth(pause) - "in the world"! It was the ultimate Cosworth. Clarkson owned two of them(one was green - I believe). I think his first was vandalised with the rear wing getting sawn off.
