Top Gear — Season 31

Jeremy Clarkson travels to Italy to test the new Fiat coupe, a car that signals the company’s return to a sporting style. Tony Mason reports on the re-creation of a famous hill-climb race at the Klausen Pass in Switzerland. And Janet Trewin looks at ways of preventing car sickness.

Tumbling sales have led Lancia to pull out of the British car market. Jeremy Clarkson looks back at some of the best, and worst, examples of the marque. Plus Chris Goffey on Renault’s new Laguna, and Tony Mason in Wales on the first round of the British Rally Championship.

This week: Jeremy Clarkson tests three estate cars; Tiff Needell drives the Caterham Super 7; and Michele Newman joins the enthusiasts who cruise the King’s Road in Chelsea in classic American cars.

This week: Stephen Bayley test drives Honda’s stylish new Civic coupe. And Chris Goffey tells the story of one of the star cars at this weekend’s Top Gear Classic and Sportscar Show in Birmingham — a Bugatti called Black Bess.

This week’s programme visits the Top Gear Classic and Sportscar Show at the NEC, Birmingham, to find out why people choose to run old cars.

The last programme in the series includes features on the new Rover 400 estate car; child safety seats; the Pirelli International Rally, and the F1 — McLaren’s supercar.
