Many kit cars featured in the "intro" to the review - anything worth listing? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucTgB_Rr0AM |

@JFKLetsPlay it is easier if I post pictures so you know what I'm talking about and you can decide which to list as you have worked on this episode. Metisse MK1, Marcos Mantaray, FBS Census and I've no idea on the 7. XK120 replica from, I think, Nostalgia Cars and an Autotune Gemini. Foreman P4(?) XK120 rep again, Vindicator Sprint. Marcos Mantis. Lea-Francis 30/320 which I didn't realise actually got as far as a functioning car until tonight. Minotaur. Banham Sprite Replica, think the 3000 is a HMC. Lomax 223, Onyx Bobcat. Also lots of stuff that had separate TG features (Quantum H4, Dare DZ, FBS Census etc). The one I would argue for is the Lea-Francis. |

Great job on the car identification! I will add the Lea-Francis - one or two stars? i guess two, it isnt fully background noise car. I dont claim monopoly on car adding, I am just glad that channels like Top Rare exist and try my best to take advantage of their existence. I also tend to be more on the cautious side, and add cars that are in the road tests. -- Last edit: 2026-09-28 23:16:36 |

Indeed, that channel looks good. I remember when we were lucky to find 480px videos of classic Top Gear. |
