In a series of challenges, the participants of Top Gear were given £1,500 each to buy a Porsche. They had to spend less than £1,500 on their purchase, which they did by buying a 23-year-old 924 for £750. Another participant bought a 944, while a third bought a 928.
The participants then had to meet in the City of London with their Porsches to compete in a series of challenges to find out who had got the best deal. The challenges included a race from London to Brighton, a lap time challenge, a skid mark challenge, and a challenge to sell the cars.
During the race, one participant's car broke down, causing an hour-long delay. The participants then had to complete the remaining challenges, which included modifying their cars, racing them, and selling them. The participant who sold their car for the most money won the series.
