TV-PGSynopsis
Top Gear (1978) reaches Season 43 in 2000, eighteen episodes of the BBC motoring magazine you can watch online on iFILM. It opens with a special shot in Las Vegas and Los Angeles.
Stateside, Tiff Needell drives the Shelby Series 1 and sits down with Carroll Shelby himself, a night-vision Cadillac alongside. Back home the season runs on duels: a 1985 Audi Quattro against a Mitsubishi Evo 6 for the Quattro's twentieth birthday, the Mitsubishi Shogun squaring off with a Land Rover Discovery. Summer belongs to racing — the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, a ride in an Arrows F1 car, a Jaguar single-seater tested in Barcelona.
Quentin Willson keeps it grounded, as ever: how to buy a classic E-type, what the new Ford Transit offers, what 24,000 surveyed drivers really make of the best-sellers. The team close out with their favourite luxury cars — a soft landing after a long run. Stream Top Gear Season 43 online on iFILM.
