Top Gear, Best British car

[X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X]

I want all 3 !!!

English cars are best !!!

[paulPSV1]

Where's the DB9??

[Jampurer]

@paulPSV1 It wasn't produced back then.

[TheWyldeFire]

What the heck is that awesome song at 0:50 ?

I love the Morgan.

and LOL James "get out of the way D:<"

[aberkid87]

WHERE THE F**K IS THE MCLAREN F1

[WhoWantsSomePussy]

@aberkid87 ikr, but why are there no aston martins? or the AC cobra, for f**k's sake

[TheNuclearpolitics]

I'd go with the Rover...

[123Jokkmokk123]

@TheNuclearpolitics i'd agree with you. the rover is a better car beacuse it's not as flamboyent as the two of them and i think it looks better, rides more comfortably and is quite well-priced compared too the noble and the morgan.

[pe6obutilkata]

these three are far far from being the best british cars

[simpsonfan9000]

yeh that noble looks rubbish

[Tscholing]

The worst thing about this Noble is that is has Mondeo tail lights

[PFCPure]

Ariel atom 500.

[123Jokkmokk123]

@PFCPure the problem with the Ariel Atom 500 i too expencive.

[EVERLIVERPOOL]

@PFCPure why is atom the best British car ?

[speedycatz]

The best British car is McLaren F1.

The end.

[123Jokkmokk123]

@speedycatz the problem with the mclaren is that it have a too huge pricetag.

[xsf908]

Morgan loock awful

[McGrawfav]

love it



[LostInPhilly89]

7:47

That scene just made the whole video worth watching!

[jake1995ke]

Made of plastic, has a stupid spoiler and a garish paintjob, put together on an industrial estate without any driver aids or safety measures, no history or heritage...

It's perfect!

I LOVE that he's reading "the very hungry catepillar"!! :D One of my favorite books as a kid :p

I love it how James beeps the horn and says "Get out of the way" hehe :)

[tiannahisawesome]

I love it hoe James beeps the horn and says "Get out of the way" hehe :)

[megasupergoat]

4 liter v8 190hp thts kind of pathetic

[Molo9000]

@megasupergoat

I don't think you'd want any more than that in a car this primitive.

190hp is plenty in a half-wooden car that weights less than 1000kg and can trace it's roots back to the 1930s.

I've heard it's a terrifying car to drive fast.

[777shaitan666]

"Yeah you tuck your pension book in that little strap thing there." Haha

[dustinthewind09]

Hahahaha 7:33 "Get out of the way."

[054915438]

British cars are amazing and American cars are not bad but are no match for us Brits ;)

[pe6obutilkata]

7:48 Clarckson's face is priceless

[LaddieGalicia]

A ROVER!?

[peterfarrow]

Clarkson = dick

Noble = Gay

Morgan = forever!

[Soulxkeeper]

Maclaren F1. Nuff said.

[zeyeerboost]

best british car is XJ220.

[fideefe]

I would disagree with Hammond for the morgen being the best british car. The reason i came to this conclusion is the engine is a V8 4L only producing 190 Hp... really.

[tinklos]

Are those rear light clusters on the Noble taken from a Mk.1 Mondeo?

[rudeydudey05]

@cihge

How did you come to that Conclusion? Britain makes some nice cars.

[Arcana5eyes]

228 People Drives a Noble

[MiguelM1992]

1 person love cars

[bobymcwogy]

what is the song at 3:33

[rock3tcat]

Ariel Atom nuff said... :D

[robmab180]

The morgan's cool but i'd rather have the rover....

[maggotball]

i would trade 2 of the nobles for a morgan, sure it might have more power, but the morgan is like me truck, its got soul, personality, and style, none of which are included with the noble, which is the kind of car one buys if he is lacking in the genitals department.

[cihge]

Conclusion: Britain should stick to making motorcycles.

[35yearoldboy]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Morgan +8.When i see (and HEAR) one on a sunny day,i smile and it makes me happy(and a bit jealous) The rumle of the V8,a hood that never ends.... AND it`s fast and that never hurts.But it`s ONLY the +8.the 4 cyl. one is just a car that looks really old.But that`s just MY opinion.... HOORAY for individuality.If i want a pink Ssang Yong Rodius,i CAN:) But IF i do i hope someone kills me.

[JCKCPA]

All great British Supercars had American Engines in them.

Period.

[golfracer89]

@JCKCPA No not all! The Bentley Continental GT has a German engine!!!

[golfracer89]

@JCKCPA No not all! The Bentley Continental GT have a German engine!!!

[golfracer89]

@JCKCPA No not all!! Bentley's have vw engines and the best british supercar, the Mclaren F1 have a BMW V12 in it!!!

[peterfarrow]

@JCKCPA

The Fastest car in the world being the British Thrust SSC has a pair of Rolls Royce Engines in it, and It annihilated a barrage of yank pretenders to the land speed record throne. I don't recall Lotus ever having American engines in them, I don't recall Jags ever having American engines in them. I don't recall Austin Healeys having American engines, and I don't recall the latest and fastest Morgans having American Engines in them. But then again Yanks call baseball the "world" series.

[chunchuck2000]

caterham

[ozace56]

Aston Martin DB5

[NGDTHII]

The Top 5 British car are:

1. Rolls-Royce

2. Aston Martin

3. Jaguar

4. Bentley

5. Lotus

[mglarias]

@NGDTHII @JCKCPA Rolls-Royce is now made by BMW, Aston and Jaguar are Ford's, Bentley is a VW and Lotus is a Toyota. Don't get me wrong, love all those cars, but they are hardly British anymore.

[JCKCPA]

The Noble always had American engines in it. American V8s would out

perform the 3 so Liter that that V12 has and be more dependable.

The Morgan has an American engine.

Any and all "muscle" that Britian has is American or American based.

It is funny how they brag so much and put down the U.S. And most people don't even know this. Stop reading magazine people and stick your head inside

"bonnets:.

[mglarias]

@JCKCPA Rolls-Royce is now made by BMW, Aston and Jaguar are Ford's, Bentley is a VW and Lotus is a Toyota. Don't get me wrong, love all those cars, but they are hardly British anymore.

[gromit37]

@JCKCPA You yanks talk some shit at times. You just can't bear to think that anybody in the world has done anything before or better. Read some proper history instead of the Hollywood version. You forget how everything the US has was built on top of others' work, internal combustion engines included. You deny everything discovered or done by others. Huge egos and selective memory are what you do best. No wonder the rest of the world thinks so little of the USA. And you can't even speak English

[832ralph]

@gromit37 As a Yank, I'm not certain that my English-language skills are adequate to the undertaking upon which I now embark, but I'll take the risk in the knowledge that I do so in all good faith. I was lucky to have learned how to drive in a 63 Mog DHC (RHD) here in Calif. It had a TR-3 4-banger, 2 SU's, of course, plenty of torque, and a Moss 4-spd. The pedals were perfectly placed, the Moss was tough (in all respects), and I learned how to heel-and-toe in that wonderful car, dearly missed.

[poeticromance]

@gromit37 i love how they are eating in front of a truck with "HOLLYWOOD DINER" on it... also all of europe has the same "huge egos and selective memory" so i guess everyone is just stubborn.

[cody314ify]

@gromit37 While i apologize for whatever one of my fellow American might have said. I really do hate it when people like you stereotype Americans to be stuck up assholes. We aren't, our car companies are some of the best in the world, and yes they were built off of other ideas, but that's what makes them so great because they have been bettered and in some cases perfected from the original design. Thats not to say that car companies in Europe are crap, because there not.

[cody314ify]

@gromit37 By the way, my English is just fine. So is everyone i know. With a 97% literacy rate, i would say that 300,000,000 plus Americans can as well. Just because our accent is different. You cant even understand you Britts until you get used to it.

[THEbeastlySTIG]

@gromit37 generalizations are never a good idea.

[levlevi]

i love the Nobel but the backlights of this car does remind me old ford mondeo and i dont like that at all

[MrWarmachine85]

5 persons take the bus everyday.

[Makron5]

The Rover you take to meet up with the lads at the track who should have your car ready. The Nobel is in the trailer that travels to the track and the Morgan travels through the country-side past the track.

[FlatoutDodge]

lol hungry catapillar

[jamie123gers]

did nobody ever consider a jaguar XJR

[mrTOPGEAR2010]

The rover is simply delightful!

[PandaMagicFTW]

Best British car = Aston Martin DBS

[crnkdeja]

Mclaren f1 FTW!

[Namolis]

OK, love TG, but this is just crazy.

Three different cars with three different ways of being second.

Best british car; there can really be only one: McLaren F1. No contest.

How on earth did this happen?

[theblacknight169975]

their is no grip on water?????

i lold at the very hungry caterpillar

''beep beep, get out the way''

jajajaja

[citywill2]

my personal fav british car  would have tobe a mini cooper or a lotus elise

[DdlyHeadshot]

@citywill2 Lotus are owned by the Malaysians and at this time Mini was already part of BMW...

[citywill2]

@DdlyHeadshot lotus is british

[DdlyHeadshot]

@citywill2 "Lotus is owned by Proton who took over after the bankruptcy of former owner Bugatti in 1994." (Wikipedia, though I got my info from Top Gear)

*BOOM*

[citywill2]

@DdlyHeadshot oh yeah.but the cars are made and designed in britan

[DdlyHeadshot]

@citywill2 I never said they weren't. However, this Top Gear segment is about INDEPENDANT British companies - that's why Vauxhall etc aren't mentioned...

[roryforham]

ooooo bluddy nearly fell out of it

hahaha

[Athrunwong]

I vote for Rover.....

it's just.....British magnificence....

[law550]

8:46.  Absolutely hysterical.

[IT1997139]

190 BHP from a 4 litres v8. thats a useless morgan

[jamie123gers]

@IT1997139 a carved garden shed cant handle much more haha

[IT1997139]

@jamie123gers lol. even a v6 toyota camry engine can produce that much power. they are just adding on to the weight for no much reason

[jamie123gers]

@IT1997139 yeh lol. a corsa 1.6 can produce more :L morgan really need to get a move on

[eltoro13]

@thesidmania right here right now - fat boy slim

[Synicade]

I would have to go for the Morgan, since that's the kind of car I think of when I think of a British car. It's the sort of car you would "go for a spot of tea" in. :)

[FSTOPDR]

In order...

The Morgan and the Rover tied for first... then that plastic car.  :)

[FSTOPDR]

Yes.

I have a blue Noble in 2 of my BRITISH BASH slideshows... I think in the 2008 and somewhere in the 2010.

[35yearoldboy]

Do they make the Noble with left hand drive?

[MegaMrDamo]

i understand why james likes the rover but can equally understand why james likes the noble, however morgans are factually shit

[aayush0404]

Its made of wood, because wood is he best thing to make it from. :)

[DinoTelevision]

what song is playing at 2:12

[rock3tcat]

Morgan, nuff said... :D

[Molo9000]

"like a first class cabin on the titanic... before it sank" lol

Guess the Morgan must be like a third class bunk bed on the titanic.... after it sank :)

[goholden12345]

y not a jaguar or an old aston which was built in Britain?!?!

[stephos21]

@goholden12345 the jag e-type is one of the most beautiful cars in the world....and i am a porsche fanboy.. :P

[halohard191]

7:35 Beep beep* Get out of the way Lmao XD

[alex14469]

Bentleys are great, not really British anymore but still...

[siciliano211]

MORGAN FTW!

[Forgottenboomer]

[Holdtheline07]

@dexlotus american

[XcadbaneX101]

@dexlotus one problem. aston martin is owned by the americans (unfortunatly)

[dexlotus]

@XcadbaneX101 but it isn't an american car...look inside and outside i don't see anything american... anyway it's owned by them :/

[s1e5b9]

@XcadbaneX101 actually Aston Martin has left the amricans so they are just british

[TopGearFan313]

Hell..sry iPad correction

[TopGearFan313]

@testdrive098 that would have been funny as he'll!

[TestDrive098]

I'd love to see him ram right into clarkson at 2:50

[GammaBoom]

[adokenk3nnbasil]

[attackRus]

Jeremy is always putting down other cars for being ugly and wut not....

[sexytorchy]

i love that book

[1RealZenDragon]

who ever disagrees this just being in ass

[Werevixen]

@1RealZenDragon, do you see everyone in Britain driving in a Noble M12?

[1RealZenDragon]

@Werevixen true but you still have to admit that it is still a very good car.

[Concordemoment]

What about Mclaren F1

[piesior]

Pension Book :DDD

[chips96iii]

[FormulaOneFan4Eva]

lol, jeremy's face at 7:48

[nickNV89106]

@FormulaOneFan4Eva 8:08 is better

[Helldorado2008]

@FormulaOneFan4Eva wordless... XD

[Zerak1990]

A lil bit of correction. Not a 1998 Ford Mondeo. BUT a 1995 one. Google it. Ill bet you my left testie o_O

[Jaaab]

What about the Phantom?

[Zerak1990]

Also quite essentially. I live up in Scandinavia. All british cars are rubbish here. Jags, Landies, Rangies, Astons. All have serious electrical issues when the temperature drops below 25c. I value reliability in a car, thats why I drive a VW.

[Zerak1990]

That Noble has the tail lights of a model year 1998 Ford Mondeo!

[AsTheSunBurnsOut]

@Zerak1990 Pause at 4:09

Those look nothing like a for Mondeo -.-

[jeffgooloolie]

The noble is ugly

[Mthtmty]

The best British car is the Mini. :)

[larzyboy96]

@Mthtmty which is now owned by the germans.

[Mthtmty]

@larzyboy96 The original one wasn't. :)

[chuntohk]

The Morgan looks good. However, the Rover is better all round.

[SixFootDik]

the noble gto is so awesome and cheap , god i hate living in america , we have the worst cars ever..

[36547384]

@SixFootDik I respect a humble american buy the vector w8 is a nice car

[SixFootDik]

@36547384 i do like the w8 its nice , all i am saying is that over here most of our cars are not good handling vehicles , and are basically only good at going in straight lines

[36547384]

@SixFootDik ......... dont be so modest. Look at the size of us cars if you crash your safe while a morgan you will be covered in splinters and if in the noble you will be made into a plastic toy and look at top gears video of the mg 260 with a rear wheel drive and engine from a ford mustang which is american and you will see what they say. Look at the dodge viper axr (I think thats whats its called) and the zr1 they are great but maybe if they make a 4wd version of the zr1 but the viper is rip

[Riles07]

Well they obviously had to choose an automaker which is still British owned. That's why Jag, Land Rover, Aston, Rolls, Bentley, TVR and others weren't featured in this. None of them English anymore. Definately siding with Hammond on this one.

[johnxy888]

LOL The Very Hungry Caterpillar

[Stratocaster05]

Best book ever

[HokutenKnigth]

the Morgan looks like Classics should look like.

The other ones are just another super car no one as heard of before and a boring big thing.

[40crestwood]

best British car is Lotus

[VerdantM]

no best British car is Aston Martin!!!!!!

[Riles07]

@VerdantM Aston hasn't been Britsh for a long time...

[throughlou]

@VerdantM

was owned by ford at the time so not british

[chiuonthis1]

@throughlou actually, it was owned by BMW at the time.
