Fay Ripley

Who can reach Monte Carlo first: Jeremy in the new Aston Martin DB9, or Richard and James travelling by high-speed train? James secretly test-drives the new City Rover, and Jeremy drives the Lotus Exige around the Top Gear track and tries to stop the Army's Apache gunship helicopter from getting a weapon's lock. The Star in a Reasonably Priced Car is Fay Ripley (Cold Feet, Reggie Perrin).

When three are remaining, the finalists will have their work displayed in the world-famous National Portrait Gallery in London and the winner will receive a $10,000 commission to become a permanent part of the British Library. Such famous sitters that are featured are Sir Ian McKellen, Sophie Turner, Sophie Dahl, Maisie Williams, Julian Fellowes, Alan Cumming, among so many more.
