Britain’s car industry is booming for the first time in a decade, partly thanks to Japanese investment. William Woollard presents the programme from the new Honda engine factory in Swindon. There’s a look at two of Honda’s new models, the Accord and the Concerto, and a road test of a car from Honda’s great Japanese rivals — the Mazda 323. Beki Adam looks back at the celebrations for 30 years of the Mini and Tony Mason reports on the progress of Top Gear’s Rally Quest competition winner.
