Video Description

It’s June 1978, and Britain is melting. One of those rare summers when even the pigeons look exhausted, the ice cream vans break down more often than they sell 99s, and half the country debates whether shorts that short should even be legal and petrol sits at 78 pence a gallon, daylight robbery with a smile. Across Europe, carmakers are guessing what the public wants. The French think quirky means quality, the Italians treat saloons like catwalk models, and Japan quietly perfects reliability with the smug patience of a chess grandmaster. Meanwhile, behind the Iron Curtain, the Eastern Bloc is still hammering metal and hope together in equal measure. This is 4Wheels&Fuel — Season 2, Episode 5 .
