The premise is great - pick a year and pick 2 cars of a similar ilk and pitch them against each other with 3 "experts" voting on "the best" of the 2.
Firstly, it's such a shame that they picked 2nd division car show presenters. I realise the BBC and Amazon have all the good ones but Vicky Butler Henderson and Alex Riley are just so irritating - they're on Mike Brewer's level they're that bad.
Second, the decisions are kind boggling. How on earth anyone could ever place the Lotus Cortina, an ugly Ford that had been breathed on by Colin Chapman over the sublime Alfa Romeo Giulia GT with its Bertone designed coach work and that incredible 1.75 engine is beyond me. And for a plastic Lotus Esprit door wedge made out of bits from the motoring scrapyard to beat Ferrari's 308 GTS is just absurd. Nonsense.
They are just potter around the place. It's like two OAPs driving Dacias and expecting people to be interested.
Massive missed opportunity. Some decent presenters, better cinematography, some proper driving, and some decisions that aren't utter nonsense and this would have been great.
