Tiff back on track in a Sierra RS500 Cosworth Touring Car (old Top Gear spec)

Tiff back on track in a Sierra RS500 Cosworth Touring Car (old Top Gear spec). In this special episode Jonny Smith arranges for Tiff Needell to return to an iconic 1989 episode of Top Gear, where he tested an RS500 Cosworth Sierra against his Group A Labatts race car - the car he won with at Donington in 1989. This is the original, unrestored sister car to Tiffs (Tim Harvey) and we let him loose on track in what is now a £475,000 touring car. Jonny and Tiff used to work together on TV show Fifth Gear.
