Episode synopsis
Quentin starts the show with two classic versions of one of the automotive world’s most recognisable, popular and longest-standing sports cars… the Porsche 911. One is a ‘wallet-busting widow-maker’ and the other is a more accessible but less troublesome highlight of Porsche’s heyday. Both are air-cooled, and that’s a must. Then Chris Routledge’s eye for detail nearly pops out of his head on discovering a Reliant Scimitar with all the features he hoped to uncover. Where’s Alex Riley? Well, Quentin pulled rank and used the money to go to LA and drive a 1957 Ford Thunderbird – the car that Ford introduced to Hollywood by giving one to Sinatra, Elvis and Ms Monroe. Meanwhile, Bruno takes a lovely Merc around the circuit in search of a faster lap time. And then there’s more Los Angeles, and more 911s! This time it’s with Jodie – who meets Magnus Walker, a man with a quirky passion for the 911. He’s a designer, too. Jodie will be in her element.
