In the last of the current series, William Woollard joins a cavalcade of memorable cars celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Prescott Hill Climb in Gloucestershire, and also reports the serious side of this motorsport — where the competition may last no more than 35 seconds. Horses and traffic are an uneasy mixture. Chris Goffey asks what can be done to reduce the number of accidents involving horses and riders. Frank Page talks to some of the winners of the first Prince Michael Safety Awards — launched this year to help awareness of road safety. Plus, Sue Baker tries out the new hatchback version of the successful top of the range Rover — the 800 Fastback.
