Jeremy tests the new Brooklands Bentley Super Coupé on the Top Gear test track. The Producers set the Presenters a challenge: each is to buy an old Alpha Romeo for £1000 or less and put them through a series of feared Top Gear tests, including a track day, featuring them in calendars and showing them at a concourse day where the motto is "a passion for perfection." Actor-comedians Rob Brydon and James Corden (currently enjoying much success in the BBC's multi-award-winning Gavin & Stacey) are the "Stars in a Reasonably Priced Car."

Jeremy and James show off and compare their Rolls Royce Corniche and the dictator-chic Mercedes "Grosser" – ageing but massive luxury limos they bought for the price of a new Ford Mondeo. The Nissan GT-R wondercar gives Jeremy a thorough working over around Japan's legendary Fuji circuit, and entrepreneurs Peter Jones and Theo Paphitis venture out from the Dragons' Den to become the "Stars in a Reasonably Priced Car."
