Episode Description

A week on from Sam’s first drive of Jaguar’s electric GT, the debate is still raging, so we’re holding judgement until it hits real tarmac. This episode then turns to something far less contentious: the McLaren F1 GTR currently for sale on PH, including its Le Mans history and what it takes to own the ultimate supercar.

There’s also a buying challenge for a first car on a £5,000 budget, plus a discussion on whether once you go automatic, you ever really go back to manual.
