This was part of the 80's special. AWESOME video and thanks for posting. I am sure many people have not seen it.

You can BitTorrent download them.

Here is the link for the 5th Gear: http://www.finalgear.com/shows/fifthgear/

And the link for Top Gear: http://www.finalgear.com/shows/topgear/

Each file represents a single show, 1 hours in length (no SpeedChannel butchering to make it a 1/2 hour show with commercials!) with no commercials.

Enjoy.

Can someone tell me what episode this was from? I have everything since '03 and don't recall seeing a 951.

Plus, the link at the top makes both of my browsers crash

OK, I found it. It's not from Top Gear it's from Fifth Gear - Season 4, Episode 4.

Good video but very short...

Is this the 5th Gear Best Cars of the 80s, if I remember correctly. I'm pretty sure I have the whole video on the 'pute at home....

Top Gear did one also but only mentioned the 951 in their Top 100 Cars of all Time special.
