Jeremy Clarkson's cars from The Grand Tour will be offered without reserve
The most symbolic lot is a 1982 Lancia Montecarlo Spider. It was this car that Clarkson drove in the final episode of The Grand Tour: One for the Road during a trip through Zimbabwe and Botswana.
For filming, the Lancia Montecarlo Spider received Ferrari 308 taillights, four exhaust pipes, wheels, headlights, and a grille from a Lancia Delta Integrale. After the show, Clarkson bought the car. It was later refurbished by Max500 Ltd, and the car is currently running.
The second lot is a 1983 Alfa Romeo GTV6 from the 2019 episode Well Aged Scotch. Clarkson drove it along the North Coast 500 route in Scotland. The car's mileage is 45,568 km.
Jeremy Clarkson's collection includes a 6.6-liter Lincoln
The third car is a 1978 Lincoln Continental Mark V from the episode The Grand Tour Presents: Lochdown. The car is equipped with a 6.6-liter engine, and during filming a nitrous oxide injection system was installed on it, which has survived to this day.
There is still a set of bagpipes in the trunk of the Lincoln Continental Mark V, and a Cartier clock remains in the interior. Clarkson bought the car after filming ended.
"These days I rarely get the chance to drive or enjoy these very special and quite famous cars, so it is probably better that they go to someone who can," said Jeremy Clarkson.
The reason for selling the three cars is promised to be revealed in the next season of Clarkson's Farm.
