Episode 8

Next year, Austin Rover unveil their latest executive saloon car, code-named Project XX. Much of its success, or otherwise, will depend on its penetration into the lucrative US market where Austin Rover have been absent for a number of years. William Woollard visits Canley in Coventry to see the preparations for this important launch, and to find out what the future holds in terms of design and further collaboration with Honda. Frank Page tries out an interesting newcomer to the British motoring scene, the Bitter SC two-door coupe, and Peter Burgess explains your rights, and what to do if the second-hand car you bought is not what it seemed.
