VICKI BUTLER-HENDERSON
Born in 16 February 1972, Victoria "Vicki" Butler-Henderson joined the Top Gear team as a presenter in 1994. Educated at The Perse School for Girls, Cambridge, where she achieved 9 GCSEs and 3 'A' Levels, Vicki had her first driving lesson on a 100cc kart at the age of 11. At the tender age of 17, she started her career as a racing instructor at circuits such as Brands Hatch and Silverstone. When not working on Top Gear GTi, she can sometimes be found racing Formula First cars and competing in celebrity races in sports cars and saloons.
When not on the track, she turns her hand to journalism and her credits have included Car Mechanics magazine, Carweek magazine, Auto Express magazine and What Car? She helped launch Max Power magazine and is a regular contributor to Top Gear magazine. She has also written for a string of national newspapers and is a contributor to The Daily Telegraph and The Times.
Vicki's racing career continues a family tradition. Her father, Guy, raced in the British Karting team and her late grandfather, Lionel, regularly raced in the famous Hill Climb at Brooklands. Her younger brother, Charles, has also raced since the age of eight.
According to http://www.car.driver.co.uk/stars.htm she owns the following cars:
Volkswagen Golf GTi Mark II
Honda Civic
Mentioned in recent e-mail it seems Victoria now owns a Renault Clio Sport. Or is this in the loan fleet of Top Gear?
She now also owns a Ducati Monster 750.
She did an interview with the Dutch magazine AutoVisie and told what her dreamgarage was..
1. BMW M COUPE No Ferrari’s or Lamborghini’s in my dreamgarage. With that kind of cars you have to go to circuits to really enjoy them. With the M Coupe you don't. You can have fun with it on the public roads. Has a great handling, the M Coupe.
2. MITSUBISHI LANCER EVO VI A beast. A rallycar for the public road. A lot of bang for your buck.
3. LOTUS ELISE 111S Small, fast, fun. And British.
4. BMW M3 Has to be included. Doesn't matter which one. Just a great driving car.
5. JEEP CHEROKEE 4.0 LIMITED Because there has to be a pratical car.
6. PORSCHE 911 Most beautiful car ever. The only car I'm willing to wash by hand.
7. LANCIA INTEGRALE The predecessor of the Subaru Impreza GT Turbo/WRX andMitsubishi Lancer EVO-models
8. VOLKSWAGEN GOLF II GTI 16V I already own it. A red one from 1989. Had to be included. Such a tempting car.
9. DUCATI MONSTER 750 CC What’s in a name. Also own one already. Don't want to get rid of it. Will find a spot for it at the back of my dreamgarage.
enjoy yourselves......
