He would be replaced from [[{{ROOTPAGENAME}}/Series 26|Series 26]] that Autumn by the then 31 year old Jeremy Clarkson, who had only made 22 prior appearances on the programme since his 1988 debut.

==Synopsis==
{{TG Intro|narrator=William Woollard}}
*'''TOLEDO''': [[SEAT]] enters the [[Ford Sierra|Sierra]] market sector with the strangely familiar new Toledo.
*'''SHOGUN''': [[Mitsubishi]] fights back against the [[Land Rover Discovery|Discovery]] with an updated Shogun.
*'''SILVERSTONE''': And we try out the new-style [[Silverstone]] in a very desirable Jaguar.

This week, ''Top Gear'' is in [[Spain]], with Woollard standing next to the castle walls at Montjuïc. With the 1992 Summer Olympics set to occur in two years' time, the nearby city of Barcelona is gearing up accordingly, refurbishing stadiums and essentially turning itself into one big construction site, with work also commencing on a brand new Formula 1 circuit. There's also been some fresh investment into the country's SEAT automotive marque, who have refreshed their [[SEAT Ibiza|Ibiza]] model, as well as launching their new saloon car, the Toledo, which Chris Goffey has test driven.

==Trivia==
*This episode would be the very last episode of ''Top Gear'' to be presented by William Woollard in his role of lead presenter, which he had held since 1981.
*With the programme increasing in popularity, this series would mark the final time ''Top Gear'' ran for 10 episodes or less until the [[Top Gear (2002 TV series)|relaunched hour-long format]] premiered in 2002, 12 years later.
