TOP GEAR TREAT...!!!
Tonight's TG (last in series) has a feature on 2 classic 80's Supercar icons... the Porsche 959 and the Ferrari F40!
Whether said article will be informative is another matter of course........

Series Episodes Originally aired
Unless you're referring to the really olden days with William Woollard, Chris Goffey and Tony Mason, but they were only 1/2 hours shows, not 1hr+ that Jezza and crew do. Although, they used to cram more into that 1/2hr than those three cretins do a whole series.

Some listings stated that the US Special at Xmas was the 7th show of last season, and the Middle East Special at new year was the 1st of this season, plus the six normal equals 7

What can you pick a well cared for F40 up for these days? Or is it a case of whatever the seller asks for it?
