Fifth Gear is not a BBC programme. It is a Channel Five programme, funded by advertising.

Lots of people in the UK were pretty annoyed about that piece. It was a blatent ripoff of Top Gear, who by the way do a much much better job of trashing old cars.

The car itself wasn't in good condition - no way. For that price it would have been an insurance write-off, a rustheap, or needing major engine/electrical work. So fret not. IIRC it even had chrome wheelarches, a sure sign it was a a heap of rust.
