Synopsis

William Woollard visits the British Commercial Vehicle Museum at Leyland in Lancashire to sample Britain’s unique contribution to the truck and bus industry. The original Audi Quattro was a tough act to follow. Tiff Needell drives the new Audi Coupe with four-wheel drive to see whether it makes the grade. Chris Goffey samples Britain’s latest turbo-charged diesel Montego. Tom Boswell examines how anti-lock brakes work and whether they’re always an asset. 1989 marks 30 years of the Mini. Beki Adam looks at the way this brilliant family car has been raced, rallied, customised and abused.
