Top Gear today is a well-known entertainment show with car theme, known to many car fans all over the world. Reason is next to others the former moderation trio of Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond. But in the early days Top Gear was just a documentation magazine on BBC2 without entertaining parts. In 1986 one of the driving features was done by Chris Goffey with a Range Rover Turbo Diesel. His final judgment was very negative because of many small and bigger issues with the car. As he was a big voice in British car culture the sale numbers of the Turbo Diesel dropped significantly afterwards.

Under the bonnet of the Range Rover Turbo Diesel lied a 2.4 litre engine from VM. It was less refined than the well-known 3.5 litre V8. Next to that the test car from Top Gear slipped through the net and didn\u2019t get a pre-delivery inspection or any treatment by the press garage or the vehicle operations team. After the negative test with Top Gear a manager from Rover with big interest in motor sports came up with the idea of setting some Diesel vehicle records to get positive press for the car.<\/p>\n\n\n
