James May's Cars of the People

S02E01 Episode 1

James uncovers the vehicles that transformed post-war Germany and Japan into dominant forces in the automotive world, overshadowing Britain and the US. During his journey, he comes across iconic cars like the E-Type and Mustang, as well as the ambitious German and Japanese brands that would eventually take over the global market. However, his trip takes a turn for the worse when he faces off against an Austin Allegro—the very car that contributed to the decline of the British car industry.
