These 2 cars will feature in a future program of TOPGEAR.....

1. Who will be driving each car?

2. What will they do to them?

... Just about enough time to google my total ignorance about cars half a millimeter off the ground! I only recognized the Marina because of the piano on top...(Steve said it was a Marina which helped)

hmmm a tasty little collection of Italian exotica.
Especially the 037 and Stratos.
1. Clarkson - Marina Hammond the Lancia
2. Marina I suspect they will drop it roof first onto the piano. Lancia dunno.

.... Thanks for the hint... an Italian car I should have known !

According to Clarkson no one knows if the Lancia Beta was the worst car ever made because it never lasted long enough for anyone to find out... I think heâ€™s finally found a Lancia Beta in one piece and weâ€™re going to find out.

Anyway my guess is:
1. Morris Marina - May (he won the snow race so this is payback time!)
2. Lancia - Clarkson (heâ€™s finally found one in one piece... )
I suspect that Hammond will be in the Careless Airways whirlybird with the kettle drums on the principle that the scenario could do with a rhythm section.....

Yep! I wasted Sunday morning catching up with TG on YouTube instead of doing something usefull! Now I'm going to have make up for it.... 8)

Isn't this done yet? [I honestly don't know as I'd rather eat my own eyes than watch Jeremy Clarkson

].
I've got a grand billion competion planned and it would be nice to clear the decks first.

I've not entered so I have no interest (other than having a forum loose end tied up) but do we have an answer & winner yet?
