22x9 - Top Gear

Throughout most of its history, the motor vehicle has been to war. William Woollard visits the Museum of Army Transport in North Humberside to try out some of the unusual machines which have seen action. 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. Europe’s longest classic car event has been run again this year, providing an opportunity for famous names from the sport to be reunited with their old machines. And Chris Goffey tests Ford’s new Fiesta XR2i against its recent rival from Seat — the Ibiza SX1.
