Bespoke Built Dashboard For A Rare Marcos Mantula | Top Gear Handcrafted

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9W4XreRdGLE

Vintage sports car specialist James MacMath has a particular passion for Marcos Engineering, a low-volume British car manufacturer founded in the late 50s. They started out building race cars for 750 Motor Club events, claiming victories in the capable hands of Jackie Stewart, Derek Bell, and Jackie Oliver to name a few. The car you see here is a Mantula, one of only 170 coupés made. In this instalment of Handcrafted, James builds a wooden dashboard frame for this rare classic.

FIRST DRIVE: NEW McLaren Artura – 671bhp Hybrid Ferrari 296 GTB Rival? | Top Gear

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8o9h3n-VTx0

This is new. Not as in new-improved, but new as in new. The first MP4-12C was 25,000 McLarens ago, and every model since has basically been new-improved, or new-cut-price. The all-new McLaren Artura chucks away all familiar hardware we’ve come to know from McLaren and starts again. It's a plug-in hybrid for one. And, yes, its 671bhp falls some way short of McLaren's original hybrid, the 903bhp P1, though its £182,500 sticker is a whole lot less. But is it enough to take the fight to the similarly turbocharged six-cylinder Ferrari 296? Top Gear Magazine’s Ollie Marriage went to a very hot Spain to find out. Chapters

SUPRA SHOOTOUT: A80 vs A90 On The Top Gear Test Track | Stig’s Garage ft. Becky Evans

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRZqzQl22jI

IS THAT A SUPRA?! No – two actually. The A80 Mk4 Supra was a supercar killer fresh out of the factory. Car magazines at the time pitched it against the Porsche 911 Turbo, the Ferrari Testarossa, and the Aston Martin DB7. That still didn't stop people over time from tuning these monsters through the roof thanks to that legendary 2JZ engine. The A80 was sadly withdrawn from all markets by 2002. But after a long hiatus of the Supra badge, we now have the latest-generation A90, developed in partnership with BMW. How will the A90 GR Supra 3.0 Pro do against its predecessor around the Top Gear test track in the hands of The Stig? How close will Becky Evans's predictions be? Watch to find out… MORE ABOUT TOP GEAR:

BMW M’s Secret CSLs You’ve Never Seen Before – Part 1 (V8 E46 M3 CSL + M2 CSL) | Top Gear

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNJokoum5aY

Ever since BMW’s M Division started business back in 1972, only three cars have ever officially worn the ‘CSL’ moniker. The original 3.0 CSL everyone of a certain age gets gooey over, the E46-generation M3 CSL that warms the dark heart of the internet, and the latest M4 CSL. However, there were four secret CSL prototypes that never saw the light of a Munich day, at least until now. In this first of two parts, Top Gear Magazine’s Ollie Marriage breaks into BMW’s secret bunker to talk you around two of said CSL prototypes. First up, an E46 M3. “But M already did one of those CSLs,” you cry. Yes, but not one like this. Because this – “a crazy experiment” – packs the V8 from the E39-gen M5 – probably the most lusted-after M5 – which means 400bhp from that 5.0-litre eight-cylinder. Then there’s the F87 prototype M2 CSL, which featured elements from the M4 GTS and got an uprated engine kicking out 444bhp, bucket seats, a rollover bar, a carbon rear wing and carbon-ceramic brakes. Keep your eyes peeled and don’t forget to subscribe so you don’t miss part two, the final two cars are pretty mad too. Chapters 0:00 – M4 CSL

Specialist Repairs Bearings For A Singer Nine | Top Gear Handcrafted

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgRTDbbSLqI

Charles Tanner may only be in his mid-twenties but he has been casting white metal bearings for over 10 years already. White metal bearings are found in engines from the early 1900s all the way up to the 1960s. The white metal coating is a soft malleable material that can withstand high temperatures and is designed specifically to protect the crankshaft. In this episode of Handcrafted, Charles removes the damaged white metal coating from the bearings of a Singer Nine from the 1930s and applies a fresh coating.
