Tom Boswell seeks to shed light on the introduction of the new high-octane ‘super’ unleaded. As Britain moves closer to Europe, businessmen are less concerned about being seen driving only British cars. Chris Goffey compares three desirable executive saloons from the continent: the Alfa 164, the Saab CD and Lancia’s Thema.

Britain’s car industry is booming for the first time in a decade, partly thanks to Japanese investment. William Woollard presents the programme from the new Honda engine factory in Swindon.

A spate of crashes during police chases has raised worrying questions about the rules governing the pursuit of suspects. Tom Boswell examines the problem and asks whether police driver training might be at fault. Tiff Needell has been partnering Derek Bell in a full season’s sports-prototype racing in the Richard Lloyd Porsche 962. Beki Adam watched a day’s testing at Silverstone to see what goes on behind the scenes preparing and improving these sophisticated cars.

Acquired over many years by the famous Schlumpf brothers, it has a particularly spectacular Bugatti collection with no less than three of the famous Royales.

Last year Top Gear mounted a special programme on the Pirelli Classic Marathon — a successful attempt to recapture the spirit of 50s and 60s rallying.
