Are any of the clips "unseen footage" or is it all clips from previous episodes?

aw, we missed out   BBC TOP GEAR?S REASONABLY PRICED CAR | eBay Quote:
This Vauxhall Astra was Top Gear’s Reasonably Priced Car and Vauxhall Motors is delighted to now offer this piece of motoring history for auction with all proceeds donated to BEN
With an estimated 350 million views in 170 different countries per week, BBC Top Gear was one of the most popular TV shows in the world. As per BBC Top Gear tradition, the Vauxhall Astra was initiated with a star-studded barbeque, featuring celebrities including comedians Jimmy Carr and Warwick Davis, and singers Brian Johnson and Joss Stone. It was Top Gear’s fourth reasonably priced car from 2014.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Bidders should be aware that the airbags have all been disabled making room for the roll-cage. To re-instate the airbags would involve removing the roll-cage and seating. So, in its current state, the car is not type-approved and should not be driven on the road. The Vauxhall Technical Team will work with the successful bidder at handover to fully explain how the vehicle has been adapted. Please be aware converting the vehicle back into use on the public highway would incur significant cost.
Since then, celebrities such as Olly Murs who topped the leader board, Margot Robbie, Ron Howard and James Blunt all thrashed it around the Top Gear Test Track at Dunsfold Park, Surrey.
WHAT ARE YOU BIDDING ON?
The five-door hatchback is a Tech Line model with an 115bhp 1.6-litre petrol engine in Power Red.
· Mileage – 2,908
· 17-inch 10-spoke alloy wheels
· Sat-nav system with seven-inch colour monitor
· Three-spoke leather-covered sports steering wheel
· Multi-function trip computer
· USB connection with iPod control
· Mobile phone system with Bluetooth
· Digital radio with six premium speakers
· Chrome-effect exterior side window surround
· Front Corbeau Sprint Racing seats with 5 point safety belt harness and full roll-cage

Top Gear's famous 'Reasonably Priced Car' has become an unreasonably priced car after selling for nearly £18,000 - twice its normal value.
The 2013 Vauxhall Astra 1.6 has been driven around the hit BBC show's race track by the likes of Benedict Cumberbatch and Sir Michael Gambon.
A typical version of the car is currently worth around £8,000 - but the bright red Top Gear model sold for £17,800 at a charity auction held on eBay .
And the buyer will not even be able to drive it legally on the road because the air bags were disabled to make way for racing modifications such as a roll cage.
More than 60 people bid on the motor, which was handed back to Vauxhall with 2,908 miles on the clock following Jeremy Clarkson's fracas with a producer.

I think Matt LeBlanc will be a great presenter. There is more to him than joey. He's a pretty funny guy.

But other than that I have seen every car on display in DTP just by cruising about in Richmond, thank you very much for collecting them together and get someone to sing a cover for "fuck you".

Interesting choices.
Looking forward to seeing Sabine, Chris (Harris, not Evans) and Matt on the show. I have a feeling that they're moving Top Gear back towards something resembling closer to the original series, which is probably one reason for having so many hosts. Chances are it'll be Evans and LeBlanc as the two main guys, with the others rotating through different episodes.

i was thinking they had dedicated hosts for specific segments, rather than the same three people like before trying to cover all the bases?
