Clarkson, following Hammond's original strategy of buying a simple van, bought a 1992 Ford Transit, while May chose a 1999 LDV Convoy box van for its considerable storage.

In a last ditch attempt, Matt's Bentley received a brake caliper donor from Rory's Rolls-Royce to address the Bentley's failing brakes and enabling them to reach the second-to-last position that they've aimed for. Afterwards, they raced each other, where Rory claimed a "moral victory" due to his Camaro winning the locals' hearts thanks to the car's V8 engine.
