Synopsis

In this final programme of the autumn series, William Woollard puts the spotlight on more complaints made by Top Gear viewers about car design and performance. Sue Baker looks at the way photographer David Bailey goes about selling a new model as he directs his first car commercial. The MOT test: should Great Britain adopt the Northern Ireland solution of government-run testing stations? With the start of Britain’s premier rally three days away, Tony Mason sees how Ford whittled down 15,000 aspiring drivers to find a single winner to be given an entry in the Lombard RAC Rally. Plus the final ‘Car of the Decade’: the rally-bred Audi Quattro is the Top Gear car of the 80s.
