Classic Cars VS Modern* Cars: Hill Climbing Race | Top Gear Classic

people get mad at them for not using the R34 but they are missing the point. all the money spent on the Peugeot did not add to the performance.

It's a good video.

The young chaps could've brought a Honda Civic EK series that even with a small budget would haul some all. Instead, they brought a Peugeot that's carrying a living room inside

Looking back, every time they did an "old Vs new" segment... it was a banger. Even the Honda Civic Type R track test, that stands out

That classic car was a real beaut! I am glad it won!

Never realized Paul Harrell was an Austin Healey man, took him more for an American muscle car guy.

James in his Rugby Kit again!

I WON!

when he tries to make a 3.0L V6 200BHP engine sound impressive LOL

Watched this as a teen i was like yeah the younger generations car so much nicer now im like that is hilarious and hideous

Ah yes , the classic english old gentlemen , and the modern "english" mass imported grooming gangs. Beautiful

200hp from a 3.0 V6… even by 1995 standards, that was poor. for 2005, woeful.

I personally love the early 2000's era of Tuner Cars, but I wish they used any other car but that Peugeot.

Poor Stig was probably soaked in the Frogeye.

If you’d picked a modified car that was built for performance rather than show it wouldn’t have even been a race. Imagine if that 306 was on lowering springs rather than airbags and just had the engine without 200kgs of fibreglass and audio equipment

The modern group most of them not brits

I'm impressed The Stig got the Pug to be that close to the Frogeye

Those Bengali brothers chewed beetle nut for days after their loss

What in the Pimp my Ride is that monstrosity

UK vs Yookay

I wonder if any of the classic car guys are still alive. They seemed like a nice group.

Healey:
Pros: Lightness, Handling, Acceleration. Cons: Old

Pug:
Pros: Big V6, Upgraded Brakes. Cons: Everything else.

Whoever started Ricing in the early 2000s deserves all the consequences.

130hp in something that light is mad.

Flippin loonie he's gonna get himself killed!

Old school still cool!!!❤

Changed the music due to copyright I remember the original tracks

As the old saying goes, mods can't buy taste

team senile vs team takeaway grooming gang

That frogeye could be a disastrous old car.
But it looks amazing.
And I like a 306. 😅

the buffoon with the newer car added a shit ton of weight, if he hadn't the newer car would of won

130hp in a sprite.. that's not normal

I dont really get, bbc, why the f they had to change the background music under old topgear episodes, and reupload them as "classics", after they guys ruined the show. Pathetic

I quite like both I'm a sucker for old classics but I also love a yobo's hothatch ❤

Grooming Gang vs Morris Minors.

Jesus max power was something else. Sad i wasn't around to see it

Why not both?
True car folks would love both. I would keep them in my garage. I have no time for the “douchebros vs elitist knobs” match. 😎

But they cheated. If they stripped the pug down it would of destroyed it.

Absy and his crew are probably in their mid 50s now

That classic car is beautiful

Britain has been cooked for so long looking at those ''British youths'' from 2005💀

there's a pic online of the 306 in a junkyard QQ

Because it's not just enough to drive a car that makes you LOOK like a twat, but one that makes you SOUND like one too. Seriously there aren't enough words to describe my hate for those type of 'modded' pieces of junk and the morons who insist on blowing them up at crossings and trying to defean everyone within a 5-mile radius.

Hill climbing is one of the best form of motor racing. Testing acceleration, braking , cornering : all in once . Not like a boring drag race.

Which cars would you choose to represent each team today?
