description About

Quentin kicks off episode 9 with a much-misunderstood Mercedes, and points out how machismo has denied generations of men the joys of the SL convertible. Perhaps this is why the overlooked Merc marque remains a bargain on the classic classifieds. He also introduces a great way to find out if your car is a worthy classic or not. We then join Jodie and Quentin on what many consider to be the ultimate road trip, as they waft up a certain stretch of the US Pacific coast in a very nice Buick. Back at base, Bruno sticks with the Mercedes theme and takes a gorgeous ’55 300 SL (yes, the ‘gullwing’ with red leather interior) around the track. There’s a special guest, too. Secret classic car fan Jennifer Saunders takes an absolutely fabulous Fiat 500 on a tootle around London, before we complete Jodie and Quentin’s idyllic jaunt from the City of Angels to San Fran.
