- Season 8

(2010)

The Jensen Interceptor is a sporting GT-class car. They were hand-built at the Kelvin Way Factory, West Bromwich near Birmingham in the United Kingdom by Jensen Motors between 1966 and 1976.

The Ford Sierra RS Cosworth was a high-performance version of the Ford Sierra. It was the result of a Ford Motorsport project with the purpose of producing an outright winner for Group A racing in Europe. The second generation 4 door Sierra Sapphire Cosworth was assembled in Genk, Belgium, with the UK-built Ford-Cosworth YBB engine.

The Volkswagen Type 2, known officially (depending on body type) as the Transporter, Kombi or Microbus, is a panel van introduced in 1950 by the German automaker Volkswagen. The concept for the Type 2 is credited to Dutch Volkswagen importer Ben Pon.

The BMW 8 Series (chassis code: E31) is a Grand Tourer built by BMW from 1989 to 1999 powered by either an V8 or V12 engine. The 840Ci was available with a 5-speed automatic transmission, though European cars were given the option of a 6-speed manual transmission.

The Triumph Stag is a British car sold between 1970 and 1978 by the Triumph Motor Company, styled by Italian designer Giovanni Michelotti. The Stag was never directly replaced.

The Bond Bug is a small British two-seat, three-wheeled sports car built from 1970 to 1974. It is a wedge-shaped microcar, with a lift-up canopy and side screens instead of conventional doors.

Mike is searching for a motor that is one of his all time favourites. The P1800 Volvo. A rocketship of a design that took the 1960s by storm. With fins at the back, a classic side coupe profile and a stylish front end made an international success story.

Mike is on the hunt for a car that is just like Edd. It is big, it's British and it likes to get dirty. The Landrover Discovery, one of the great unsung British motoring heroes. A rugged off-road workhorse and practical 7 seat family transport.

Mike pursues a modern classic car that has stunning performance and rally bread handling. As they say in the films, looks are deceiving and this is one mean motor. The Subaru WRX was designed to rally.

Mike wants to find one of the best British sports cars ever made. A tall claim but if you think of the nation's favourite fast cars, then right at the top of the table would be the 1960s Lotus Elan with it's cheeky good looks.
