Top Gear · Season 18, Episode 4

James and Brian Johnson in “February 19th, 2012”

This is a 1928 Le Mans-bodied 4.5-litre Bentley. Brian really does use this every day — he uses it to go down the shop for a pint of milk.

Go on, me son! Born to do it!

[voiceover] Despite the mangled gear changes, I was very much enjoying living in the past.

I can feel a moustache growing! God, the smell is tremendous. Hot castor oil. Well-known laxative, I'll probably have diarrhoea by the time we get there.

[voiceover] Brian, however, wasn't coping so well with living in the future.

[In the Fisker Karma]

BJBrian Johnson

Oh, Christ, now what happens? I'm getting near the bottom of me battery level, oh my word. Right, now... And... That means I have to do something, and I'm... Bugger. What... What the heck is that? I'm trying to follow James's instructions, which were as clear as mud.

[James is seen driving past in the Bentley from inside the car]
