Don't think I would spend my money on that. Apart from the fact you know Hammond would have given it a good running, no service history isn't ideal and LHD rules out overtaking in the UK!!

Hahaha , yes TT it seems like the idea of selling it to buy the Muscle Car was not a joke , the car looks very mint , take a look at the interior , its flawless

I'm sure he's got a bit more money than they make out on top gear as he seems to have been on tv alot recently over here- i even saw him giving photography advice on one programme. i really hope he gets his dream car and while he might not be a on the same pay as clarkson he can be quite entertaining and i hope he stays with top gear

i'd bet more, i know he used to be on a really big contract when he had his own talk show type thing and other programmes according to the media . This is something interesting JABBA posted somewhere else

The figure an amazing £200,000...I knew he was doing well...but I had no idea that he was making enough to shell that sort of money out.
With this buying a £100000 Ford GT and i think he wants a DB9 AMV8 oh and don't forget the SL55 AMG

i seem to remember him doing some very entertaining things like making a potato cannon with hairspray and microwaving random stuff sadly i didn't have a tv card back then- i would guess it was around the year 2000. I don't think it lasted long maybe 2 series? jabba might know, he seems to be our oracle on all things clarkson
