The Borneo UltimatumIf you want a truly rare car, you don"t need to spend millions on a Ferrari 250 California Spyder or Aston DB4. Because, if you"re prepared to spend a long time trawling the most harrowing corners of the classifieds, you"ll discover cars that are very rare and very cheap.Cars, in some cases, with just a couple of examples left on the road. The most endangered of species. But are super-rare, super-cheap classics a good idea? To find out, Paddy got himself a Matra Bagheera, France"s forgotten Seventies sports car, while Freddie went truly exotic with an Austin Allegro estate. Whereupon they were dispatched to Borneo, the vast rainforest island that"s home to many rare beasts of its own.And, on account of being somewhat jungly, a challenging environment for a pair of knackered old cars. But an even more challenging environment for Paddy, a man who, by his own admission, isn"t a confident traveller. And also isn"t a fan of eating still-squirming sago worms. Tune in Sunday 8pm, BBC Two and BBC iPlayer. Ep 4"s guest is Bob Mortimer
