Jeremy Clarkson, the British television presenter and former Top Gear host, is preparing to auction three cars from The Grand Tour series at the NEC Classic Motor Show on November 14. The sale, part of "The Iconic Sale," is connected to a reason that will be revealed in the upcoming season of Clarkson's Farm, a show in which he is also involved. At 66, Clarkson has stated that he rarely drives or enjoys the cars anymore, and believes they would be better off with someone who can appreciate them.
The first car up for auction is a 1982 Lancia Montecarlo Spider, the last vehicle Clarkson drove on The Grand Tour. It was featured in the "One for the Road" episode, which marked the final appearance of co-hosts Richard Hammond and James May. The car was customized with rear lights from a Ferrari 308, quad tailpipes, wheels from the Lancia Delta Integrale, and a racing steering wheel. It is described as being in good working condition, capable of starting, running, and driving.
The second car is a 1983 Alfa Romeo GTV6, used in the "Well Aged Scotch" episode, the first Grand Tour episode in 2019. The car was driven on Scotland’s North Coast 500 route and has accumulated over 28,315 miles. It has been maintained by the show’s team, ensuring it remains in good condition.
The third car is a 1978 Lincoln Continental Mark V, featured in the "Lochdown" episode. It was modified for the show with a 6.6-litre engine and nitrous injection, which remain installed. The car also includes a set of bagpipes in the trunk and a Cartier clock, adding to its unique appeal.
In June 2024, during the fifth season of Clarkson's Farm, it was revealed that Clarkson had been diagnosed with prostate cancer. The show follows Clarkson and his team as they manage Diddly Squat Farm in Oxfordshire. Since its debut in 2019, Clarkson's Farm has highlighted the challenges of rural life and farming, with Clarkson becoming an advocate for farmers' rights. He recently attended a protest in London against proposed changes to inheritance tax on farmland. The sixth season of Clarkson's Farm is expected to air in 2027.
