Top Gear ~ Best British Car

the best British car has GOT to be an Aston martin DB5 or a McLaren F1

At the end, these guys cannot stand defeat, right 😂😂

Jeremy forgot to mention that the Noble was built in South Africa. He must still think we a colony...

But the Morgan has a buick v8

Noble looks like a copy of a copy of ferrari, made in china

James's: "They've brought the wrong cars" entrance is 🔥🔥🔥🔥

This is poetry

Rover 75😳

“It’s 2003 and boy can we make something good…” - JC

That hit me in the feels. Goddamn I feel so old now…

I love the fact that they even entertained MG Rover's marketing bollocks regarding the MG SV and it's upgradability, in reality, yes, the engine could take the mods but you would need to completely re-engineer the transmission to actually be able to deploy them, that's why a fully loaded SV never returned to the track to "give the germans a bloody nose"!

British cars are me like their cuisine. Its not great.

James was hilarious in this clip

when that fatboy slim music starts playing👌

I’m only a minute 20 in but how did no one say f1 or something Mclaren?

Why they call foresword more important than Markarth?

There's not a single good one.

This was the golden age for Top Gear

I think here we see the perfect reason why Britain failed with cars, The Morgan and the Rover said modern day no thank you we will stick in the past. The Nobel had the right idea but the wrong execution in a market where a car can become a legend or obsolete in a matter of months.

Wasn't the Rover 75 out of a time when BMW and Honda invested in Rover (and BMW a little later owning it outright, before dumping it unto MG)??
Also, the Noble M12's engine is a Ford made V6.
And the Rover V8 is basically a Buick 215... "out of a boat", as James put it.

So... the "best" out of Britain are made by foreigner or with core technology from overseas.

I like the rover

Driven a Morgan once and it’s great fun, but I’ll never even consider buying one.

The Morris Mini is still the best British Car in my opinion, change my mind

The catheram could be the best?

Jeremy it's 2023 and not 2003, pun intended 😂

Nobels were built in South Africa

Surprised they didnt pick the lotus cortina.

I love how all 3 chose the cars they most resemble with, Richard likes classics with a bit of modernity hence the Morgan, Clarkson is brash and all about "Speed and Power", and James's priority has always been a comfortable ride 😂

When Top Gear was about cars

OK: Lotus, ......

MG metro gti or the 6r4, also love the mgb gt and ofcourse the mini cooper clubman and the rover P5 and sd1

“right it’s 2003..” bro it’s been 20 years. wow

The amount of Dutch angles in this segment makes me sick. It's fine in small amounts in the right moment, this is just too much. Good thing they got better later on in the show😂

The MG at the end isn't totally British. I read somewhere it has a Ford Mustang V8 engine in it.

Ah the Noble M12 - thank you TEST DRIVE UNLIMITED for showing this Monster

Im sorry but, that MG is ugly

The last great British cars were rolls Royce and Austin Martin . Now owned by other country's . Why do you think that is ?

That happens to your country when you win a war. When the 'Murican Wallstreet banksters and oligarchs (which are called philantrophists in the West) decide to kill your empire once and for all for their own profits, then they do. In fact Hitler was an US product as Saddam and even Osama! They are good in arson and playing the fire fighter afterwards alike. But there is no need to be still jealous of Germany for the fancy Nazi franchise with the martial uniforms, the swasticas and cool medals, because we have bleeded even more, despite our more mighty car industry. At the moment it is Ukraine's turn.

The Jaguar X-Type was not american. It was german.

Interesting how they disregarded most of audiences suggestions because they weren’t British owned or have British parts when in fact the Rover 75 shared a huge number of things from BMW. TVR is a better comparison with Morgan and Noble.

Its the F1 hands down

This was in 2003, you think the guys ever guessed 20 years later they'd still be doing this together? Bless these men!

Clarkson says the M12 is the best… until he looks under the bonnet and finds a Ford Duratec V6 underneath

One of the few times where James May speaks perfect sense, with music to match the appropriate driving style of the everyday commuter.

I believe the engine in the Morgan is really a Buick aluminum V8

The best British car is the one that doesn't break down constantly after 10k miles
