    Vintage Top Gear footage

    Here's something I found on an old tape without a label in the bottom of a box at the back of the garage. Now brought back to life with the aid of modern digital adding up!

    Jeremy Clarkson test driving the Beat on Top Gear:

    Enjoy!

    Excelent...

    Ta for putting that up, I'd heard about it but never seen it...

    Quite surprised he actually liked it though, His attitude now seems to be a case of...

    "If it doesn't go fast then I don't really like it..."

    Good music they chose to go with it also.

    I would guess that it's a corner marker...

    A lot of Jap cars have them to help them park, due to the limited spaces available they have to park as close as they can...

    If the bandwidth police come, I'd be more than happy to host it on this site.

    I have the magazine that clarkson also wrote about the beat and the red car is a Diahatsu Mira XXtr turbo 660 cc.
    The yellow beat J18EAT is also featured in the mag.
