Originally broadcast in 1981! Watch it before the tossers from the BBC remove it.
Amazing how Top Gear changed isn't it? I wish they tested more ordinary cars.
Anyway, as for the Vauxhall featured in the video, it was a very good car back in its day and gave its competitors a good run for the money. However, they rusted like you wouldn't believe and it was very easy to break in, which made it a joyrider's delight and that explains why you don't see them on the roads anymore. Out of the 807,000 that were sold from 1981 to 1988, there are only 6,000 left on the roads these days.
