Old Top Gear 1992 - American Imports

Jeremy Clarkson goes to America to check out cars they have for sale over there, and the cost of importing them to the UK. Taken from season 15, episode 5.

The days when America seemed like a far away mystical land.

Not many current Top Gear fans know Jeremy Clarkson used to strap a dead poodle to his head for the entire decade of the 1980's.

This is the first time I've seen Clarkson go through an entire segment relating to America without a single snide comment. How times change

[fuyingbro]

This may be the first time I ever heard him saying anything nice about an American car or even the United States.

Now $4000 will get you an OEM 68 charger grille and a couple of mufflers

[AICabal]

"4000$, so just a little over £2000." Oh those were the days.

[gwasgray]

Two weeks later, Clarkson probably changed his mind and decided these cars were all rubbish.

[Psxmoe]

After paying a tax and paying the tax on a tax... classic Clarkson

[terryrickman]

I love how the Lincoln rolls by with the belts squeaking lmao

[Somethin]

What? Clarkson praising American cars?!

[Toyota--Camry]

Seeing all these 70s 80s and early 90s cars in mint condition makes me incredibly happy

[WillieWonkaD]

It's really nice to see Jeremy talking about American cars and not calling them all "rubbish"

[flashman]

The three best things about this video are: Jeremy's hair; Jeremy's BBC accent; and the car salesman's Miami Dolphins jumper.

[MichaelRCarlson]

Wish I could buy a 72 cutlass for that price these days.

[SPACECOWBOY]

Bruh Jeremy Clarkson really gave his heart and soul to Top Gear for so many years.... It's such a shame how it had to end

[rafaelsaez]

Oh my god. This is a clip from another dimension. Look at how young Jeremy was, how lively he looks, LOOK AT HOW HE WAS PRAISING AMERICAN CARS AND THE UNITED STATES AND OMG THAT HAIRCUT THIS IS JUST SO FUCKING STRANGE TO LOOK AT

[TuckFinn]

I was a foreign exchange student in England in 1996.. I didn't really recognize any of their domestic cars.. but I'll never forget seeing a left hand drive Ford F150 drive down the street. The only one I ever saw there.. it was pretty cool!

Jezza's hair in the '90s: *B i g*
Jezza's hair in the 2000s: _No_

[cyrilimbert]

Damn he said "outside the EEC" instead of "EU"! That's how old this clip is

[CdH]

Clarkson is actually a big fan of muscle cars and most American cars. He says the things he says on modern-day top-gear because it's humorous, and honestly just for fun.
