Britain’s Best Car Showdown

The hunt for the best British car comes down to three legends. Jeremy tests the

Morgan Aero Eight with its wooden frame and raw V8 power. James picks the

Lotus Elise, a featherweight corner carving machine. Hammond goes for the Noble M12,

a supercar built in a shed. On track, the Morgan looks gorgeous but handles

like a drunk elephant. The Lotus is surgical through corners but lacks straight line grunt.

Then the Noble shows up and destroys them both, proving the best British car doesn't

need fancy badges or posh heritage. Just a bloke in a workshop who knows what he's doing.

Hammond wins again.
