Top Gear (1978)

Season 32: Episode 6

Jeremy Clarkson hands over the driving seat to Michael Schumacher, who pushes the new Ford Mustang to the limit round Silverstone. Ford don’t think it will sell in Britain. Jeremy begs to differ. He thinks it’s one of a growing number of cars that would find eager buyers if only their manufacturers’ marketing “boffins” would let them into the country. Plus Steve Berry on the latest motorcycle from MZ, formerly an East German company regarded in motorcycling circles with about the same degree of enthusiasm that Lada and Škoda generate among car buffs. But their new British-designed bike, the Skorpion, is set to change all that.
