Series 8 - Episode 1

The trio wonder what how hard it is to create a convertible people carrier, after converting a Renault Espace into one and putting it through a number of challenges, including taking it into a safari park and subjecting it to a brand new car wash. Meanwhile, Hammond is embarrassed with driving a hot pink Nissan Micra C+C around Ledbury, Herefordshire, May looks at the newly restyled Honda Civic, Clarkson claims he's found a good way to give up smoking with the new £415,000 Koenigsegg CCX, and there's a new reasonably priced car in use - the old Suzuki Liana is gone, replaced with the Chevrolet Lacetti, so a new Lap Board is in use and several celebrities are invited to set a time in it.
