There was a brief period when these beautiful cars went out of fashion, and I really should have bought one, or three.

That 1993 Ford Taurus steering wheel is a sight to behold.

Still, one of if not the best looking "proper" car, ever made. Living in MK and seeing these SuperCars being wheeled across the road from one shed to another was always a special "thing" to see, esp. as a Kid!

Have been looking for Clarkson’s “poetic violence” and “… get on their knees and thank god…” quotes for years. I knew he said those words, and that they had to exist in some form or another somewhere on the net. But years of googling failed to locate them. Now at last, here they are, together in the same feature that begins with the green shutters - just as I remembered. Excellent. Thank you for sharing.

How can Clarkson not put a smile on your face? Total legend. Oh, and the car is a dream too!

This is the car that should have been in Goldeneye. Bond in a BWM? To the Tower!!!

A couple of weeks shy of 30yrs ago now. Still, probably, my favourite Aston. Few cars are as memorable as this in the flesh...

This car will never go out of fashion. Looks good then, still looks good today. This is a sports car.

My favourite Aston Martin still to this day. When they were new a friend was about to buy a 993 but i convinced him to take a look at a DB7 first. They had a V8 Vantage in a London showroom and I just melted in it's presence.

Imagine telling Jeremy back then he would some day become a farmer 😁

He really said "opulent interior" while holding the same steering wheel that came in the Ford Taurus', crown Victoria's, and fox body mustangs 😂

Welome to the machine (and what a machine!)

🥰🥰🥰🥰 Wonderful handmade and cultural and STYLE! Not like todays garbage… These handcraft-workers are real artists! Eternal thank for there Cars!🥰👏🙏🙏🥰🥰🥰🥰

Been looking for this review with the Pink Floyd Welcome to the Machine background soundtrack as its uncut and the original broadcast version Later versions remove the Floyd track and the other great songs like Cher's Just Like Jesse James, Alice Cooper's Poison and also it remove the price quote. The cut version is found on the VHS video Top Gear : Super Cars.

Dangling people from upstairs windows by their eyebrows, saying, "give me the keys" is a compelling argument.

And the icing on the cake was the sound! No stereo required.

I remember seeing this back in 1993. It was one of my favourite Clarkson reviews and somewhere I still have the VCR!

Kaleb was still swimming around in his dad's ballbag when this was made...

Clarky had an escort cosworth at this point in his life.

Someone, somewhere has the guts to put Scirocco-II tail lights on a 365.000 GBP car. Not even the tinted ones...

Clarkson's "in the world" at 4:25 wasn't slow enough 😁

Tapped this off the telly when first aired, my God how time has flown, 90s best decade it was my youth where anything seemed possible, thanks for uploading x

The best front engined car period!

I noticed how Jeremy said “craftsman or even craftswoman” These days there’d be uproar with that😉🤣

That, is a proper Aston Martin, and one of my all time favourite cars, specifically the LM 600 version. At one time, not that long ago, the basic Vantage version could be had for as little as £25K!!! I knew I should have bought one then, doh!!

It's one of my favourite cars ever. Not even bond had one of these.

One of my favourite cars of all time. I remember seeing one (in an Aldi car park of all places) in the 1990's and was just amazed at it. British muscle car, but a very luxurious one!

Clarkson at his best for me. 🙏😎

The best car in the world the best presenter in the world and the best program in the world👏🇬🇧

The last real Aston Martin. At least they went out with a bang and a roar.

Oh the days of the manual.

Love that shape.

Last of the Old School NP WASP hand made Aston Martins....The Vantage was never imported to USA 2/2 to EPA standards, only got the Virage for a few yrs & later the DB 7 which was not a pure Aston Martin, jaguar mass produced as the NP factory closed in 2000

I liked the previous model Aston that looked like a proper muscle car

Love it. Vantage 550 pls. (bows to Lotto Gods)

I was expecting May in the beginning with some piano concerto, till Pink Floyd came 😄.

Increible divino adorables los Aston gran video hermoso paisaje gracias Sonia G Nielsen👏👏👏

3:12 Well it took them longer than we expected.

Strange - the older Clarkson got, the less he cared about proper journalism and actually making his content about cars. First the cars were relegated to a role secondary to some game, then his content became about juvenile playtime with imbeciles where sometimes a car was used without being deliberately destroyed.

The best that Aston Martin ever made, but for 10% of the price you could have it’s sister, the monaro vxr500, that’s what I would buy.👍

I miss these days and TV like this so much. I’d sit as a kid and watch my dad watching top gear. Back when the world made sense, before they invented climate change and all this other nonsense.

Now in an time that Hot hatches are faster to 100! Crazy.

That FORD Steering wheel…😖

My dream car. This is the one

Yes it was during the period I owned a couple of Renault 5GT Turbos, and these used were cheaper than a new 5GT turbo, I also seriously considered one, whish I had taken the plunge.

£185k nearly 30 years ago, wow!

I miss exciting car times like these instead of the stupid all electric dictatorship they want to push.

Trouble is modern machinery can do things better nowadays.

Top Gear was a great show

Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful #AstonMartinVantage🇬🇧

Was that an automatic Vantage in The US at tte beginning? Oh dear lord no 😞

0:33 Theresa May?

look how high the arch is on the rear wheel lmao

Wonder where it is know 🤔

Looks like a more refined 2005 Mustang.

Nice castle of OCTOGON you have there, Jeremy. The Pharaonic archway is a nice touch too.

I’m not a British car fan. At all. But if I were to EVER own an exotic…or an import in general…it would be an Aston.

Hasselhoff would be so proud!

Look folks we actually had a real country only 20 years ago

Tadek's engine 😊

The only Aston worthy of the name .

Did they run out of money and paint it with the leftover factory paint ? Bloody looks like it !

Looks like a maintenance nightmare

Just a shame the thing didnt have the Jensen Interceptors looks .

At least the steering wheel is at the right place!

That guys good at reviewing cars i wonder what happened?

An excellent point. Bye bye, motor industry.

A homage to American muscle cars.❤

Sounds like Diablo 2 😂

Ford steering wheel 😁

Vantage v600 le mans for me please

Only rich buy this because high insurance or smash windows cost 5,000 pound than house window

Stupid music when we could be hearing the engine

That's some hair!

how much are these today? looool

думаю что джереми круче слр мак ларен не видел.

Notice you had to talk with a plum in your mouth of you were a presenter in 80 and 90s

It hasn't aged well..

A whopping 185,000 pounds…..

Did pink Floyd members buy it ..

Please replace that ugly steering wheel.

It looks like a Mustang. It's cool, but not really worthy of Aston Martin.

That music's LAME

It looks like a mustang, what a shame

The car hasn't really aged well, though. Sounds good and the interior is classy as heck - but the exterior looks pretty odd by today's standards.

Oh dear! That’s an ugly car! 🤣🤣

Welcome to the machine = very good choice !! ☝️🙏👍👏🤘🫂🤞🍀
