Good god - the early top gear was an actual car review TV show.

Does anyone else find this old old top gear to be endlessly fascinating? ... I really liked the bit on auctions

Jeremy Clarkson the ever evolving fashion icon

More entertaining than the current Top Gear.

When the open titles have been made on Windows Movie Maker.....

Two things that comes together for me in this episode. "If i had all the money in the world" And Golf. I would buy a Golf II any day, And with limitless amount of money it would be a 4x4 turbo intercooler Diesel with the pump wrenched up to rolling serious coal. And if it could be shoehorned in the engine will be minimum a 2,5 l.

From humble beginnings

I love old Top Gear. Seeing people enthuse over Vauxhall Omegas and Fiat Tempra is hilarious nowadays.

bloody hell the tempra was a mess with its explosion-prone engine

Thanks, I enjoyed Tiff's piece on the NSX and the ever slick Quentin's piece on car auctions.

We had a Tempra in our family for 14 years or so. It was an 1991 carburetor version 1.6L SX sedan. Current owners of the car are also 8th owners. Car has done well over 600.000km, God knows how much over 🤣. Not a single engine rebuild, not a single critical rust points. Unlike the Vectra or Sierra, Tempra keeps going.. and sadly, all Vectras and Sierras are scrape metal now :)

Hah I never watched this but it's somehow so calming and just nice, it's almost strange Am I the only one who likes this more than the new megaHD supernew show, despite the quality?

Golf MK3 much criticism in its later life (& then regarding power output) but think it was summed up well by the reviewer it was designed perfectly for the market of the time yes 115bhp was poor from a 2.0Ltr but it was quality & handling feel. Still have a MK3 GTI over what else was around hot hatch wise in that bunch of cars he had lined up.

Back in the day…those 220 turbo coupes were quick old things

Quentin, Tiff, and Vicki are very underrated.

I miss 90s cars. yes these were cramped and thin metal, but the engines were revvy and connected to the car body, it was a tactile experience. Cars today have become too disconnected

I played this in 144p and saw no difference.

6:00 Honda did a 5 cyl engine?

Agreed! :) And this is coming from a nineteen year old who's been watching Old Top Gear on KZfaq since he was sixteen!

The auction tips section is good

Its a good nap time video. Just throw it on in the background 😴

Crazy how the amount of road tests were around staffordshire with the old series of TG

I remember seeing alot of rover Metros everywhere when I was a kid but haven't seen any in about 10 years, I think they have all been on the scrap heap for a long time.

loved it,thanks alot,,,,brought back so many memories of the good,bad and ugly of motoring ,,oh the metro,such a rust bucket,,buth my dad had a lancia thema,,what a great car.,pity he didnt have the ferrarri version tho!

Talk about trying to find faults lol “hand break is difficult to access with the arm rest down... you have to unload all this luggage out of the boot to get to the spare wheel!” 😂😂🤣🤣

Used to drive an "F" reg Range Rover vogue, in white, back in 1991. Superb car, although the fuel economy was shocking with the V8!

im just couple of minutes into watching and i feel myself struggling to stay awake

My dad still has an Isuzu Amigo haha

A real motoring programme about cars and not 3 egos.

Goffey irrationally angry id love to see

Two things to remember for Mr Goffey, put the boot catch high up and whatever you do make sure the SPARE WHEEL IS UNDER THE CAR!

It's like I'm watching it through 1970's westworld

Optional outcome for the Opel Calibra test : 'All is nice and well, but we managed to push off the middle pedal... so I am now looking for a piece of cloth usable as a parachute...' lol. Thx for uploading.

Good god. And this is the “best of old top gear.”

Omg is that Clarkson in the one close to the beginning lol

is this video available in better quality?

59:00 ... 49 pence per liter... Those were the days :(

Excellent stuff. Thanks for this!

Can I just say, the problem with a spare wheel under the boot floor. Want it outside, good, but you still need to get at the screw to lower the wheel from the bottom of the boot floor. So you still need to empty the boot. I hate to say this, but Rover, the P6, with the wheel on the boot lid, that is or was the only real good solution.

Tonight on bottom gear I drive a running lawnmower into a kiddie pool

Still better than the new one...

Man, this is so different than the antics of the modern show. This is just... simply a collection of no BS car reviews. XD

I’ve watched 5 minute of this shit and holy shit how much I love Jeremy Richard and James

Thanks for the upload

Something’s wrong here. They’re actually focusing on the cars and not breaking the other’s air conditioning.

I never realized that Vauxhall is just geo, only noticed when he called the Geo Tracker a Vauxhall frontera

LoL.. Chris Goffey is always going on about banging his head on boot/ tailgate locks and catching his finger nails on various trims in car interiors. He points out things a normal person wouldn't even bother mentioning.

I was trying to watch some old top gear but I think I clicked on the movie pixels by mistake.

It totally transformed into a different animal like a butterfly.

A few more Pixels would be nice if you have any!

We are talking about a TV show from the 80s and 90s. No shit it's going to be blurry.

wow that is low def :( is it a pixel? is it a blob? no its a fiat

I can't imagine driving without power steering!

im 15 and i think that the old top gear is really awsm

Oh my god that hair

And would have last 2 weeks before rusting away.

The very best? i'd hate to see the very worst!

NSX I can only wish

The Vauxhall callebrea was basically a re engineered carlton no one was supposed to notice with all its aerodynamics .

@Cayetano Luis You do know that the american Top Gear show and all the other Top Gear shows (china, germany, australia) are produced under license from the BBC. So technically this is the very original.

A quick reminder: please rewind the video to the start for the next person watching. Thanks!

@ 14:03 he could have said the only thing you could fit in the boot is a boot. But sadly this isn't new top gear so I shouldn't expect some snotty British humor when Jeremy talks here

First guy looks like chuck norris

They should have kept Quentin.

When top gear was a car review programme 👍, and not a dick measuring competition 🤣😂

This guy must have been an accident prone child. As a bald guy (mo hair for a early warning alarm) I appreciate all of the points he showed.

Looks like this video is being played from a Super Nintendo

1:08:36 is the part to skip to

How I miss the exec choice Alfa Lancia or Saab ,all wonderful cars all gone sadly…

An old vhs recording, could you adjust the tracking next time lol.

No point in knicking it lads, it won't fit in any other model

where's Vol. 1?

Wow, you can even count the pixels!

Ok I’m completely lost

I absolutely hated that Wilson guy slating the original metro Those cars were just designed to be what they were a simple small hatchback I really wonder if other cars in the same group as the metro did actually rust Or did the program just find the most scabby metros That Wilson guy is just a total snob Notice how he didn't give the range rover as bad scathing as the metro Geez both came from the same manufacturer ie Austin Rover

What I used to like about Top Gear, informative, practical and relatable. Even Clarkson was sensible back them. Now, it’s just stupid mid-lifers jeering perfectly good cars, and thrashing unattainable super cars for cheap cheers and ratings. What a joke. Jog on Top Jeer.

@ 39:53 VTEC kicked in yo 😂

Oooh yes it is!

They say Raymond w was in limited slip differential as passing to his freshly settup porn tent in the bolivian state

Fascinating how boring Old Top Gear used to be in places compared to New Top Gear.

and you tube call this 720p ? ha ha ha!

how did this turned to topgear we know today

thanks for loading

Who’s this friggin guy talking about the “car”?? Wtf??

Everyone tries to be like Jeromy

street legal or sea eagle

Just don't watch fullscreen. Perfectly acceptable to me. Either deal with it, or leave.

Weird, both presenters named "Chris" and Top Gear was boring.

Back in the day this was like HD! , lol

Tiff positively reviewed a Yugo! Hilarious!

What the heck is this show? "This Week In Shite Cars?"

The calibre was a boring none 😢ntity ,, and rotted on the kerb side

This really should be referred to as "Old Old Top Gear" Or perhaps "Ye Olde Top Gear"? Comments below

joopee buenos tiempos aquellos :v

It's not.

Fiestas and Novas were way more expensive than a Metro of the same age.

song at the beginning?

A good choice of videos but the uploader destroyed the quality with to much compession.

Jezza, Slow and Crash Test Hammond really changed the show. Now they were fired and the show sucks, just as te Tempra.

Where's part 1? 16:36.............................when you hear a reviewer (in this case, Quentin Willson) describe a car as having "all the finesse & subtlety of a thumb in the eye", YOU KNOW it is a piece of crap!!!!!!!!
