“2003 has been the best year for new cars - ever!”
- Jeremy Clarkson
And he’s not wrong. 2003 saw some excellent new cars appear on the market, but which one was the very best? In this DVD, Clarkson makes it his job to find out.
The DVD kicks off with the gorgeous Rolls Royce Phantom. £100,000 more expensive than a Vanquish, I could sell my house and still only be able to buy one of these.
Inspired by the classic film of the same title, the Cannonball Run Europe is an annual race across Europe attended by some of the fastest cars on the road.The 2003 rally was filmed by a crew following the cars from start to finish in a NOS powered Range Rover.
The film starts with a quick introduction to the race and the drivers taking part, before the film crew and follow the Cannonballers hit the road on the
way to their first waypoint. Bumps, scratches and write-offs are acceptable risks on rallies, and it isn’t long before an unfortunate SLK 230 meets a ditch after taking a wet
corner too fast.
