Great bit of research Oscar, lots of views and lots of comments shedding valuable light on... ... the James May Lambo. I watched the original episode and that Lambo was the real superstar/car. So pleased it's still rocking.

Hi Oscar, love the vids, another challenge of their's you could do was their Belgium trip with the 190E, E36 M3 and Sierra Sapphire, seems forgotten compared to their other cars (S15 E2)

love the MR1 my frend had one in 80s''' i had a tr4 :)

Urraco is extremely rare supercar. It couldn't had been bought for only 10000.

Bostin!

To answer the question, "I hope so".

Nice content, more videos like this

I visited St Petersburg (then Leningrad) in 1985 and remember seeing the GAZ Volga 4200 cars everywhere as taxis mainly. Also Zaporozhets 968 which I really loved but they're getting rare now.

My pal charlie burns owns the 6 wheel surf bus polo. Hes turned it into a boat 🤣

Lepu has a skill to a degree. But its not for the uk market

It's a shame I don't think any of the cars used in the show for challenges can be used on the roads. I'm sure this was stated in the show years ago. Such a waste and also of licensing fee payers money.

Re the Merak: I remember finding that car on Eurospares back in the day and I *think* they mentioned that it actually *was* an SS-version, despite what JC claimed on the show. I remember watching the ep when it first aired and immediately checking prices on those cars on the web. Turned out that these things didn't turn up as bangers all that often even back then (at least not over here in Germany), but you could find them "for cheap". Even the GT4 stayed pretty reasonably priced for quite some time after the ep aired as many people seem to have falsely taken JC's BS about the Dinos not being "true Ferraris" as gospel. However: I do believe that especially these very early "cheap sports-car" challenges did help to raise prices/desirability of whatever half-way desirable models were being featured in the challenge. So, even if the show did mistreat or even destroy one example, they probably did more to help save other cars out there. Once an appearance on TG would make a certain classic car more desirable, prices/potential value would go up, thus making a restoration a more viable option.

I watched that episode and laughed mao all the way the through it. I was once driving up the M6 following a Land Rover Defender when there was a cloud of smoke from it followed by a shower of hot metal, it was spectacular to say the least.

It’s annoying. You didn’t show us how much the jag went for.

i know its not top gear but wondering if one day could find out if any cars from "last of the summer wine" still exist? there were a number of cars featured on it so some might have interesting stories tied to them!

Same sort of story with Bergerac's Triumph Roadster. According to John Nettles it was an absolute pig to drive and was so noisy they had to re-record the dialogue when the engine was running and overdub the sound of a quieter engine. However they are using it again (I assume it's the same car) in the reboot which is currently being filmed.

I remember hearing about Clarkson's Maserati being broken down for spares and May's Lamborghini being painted orange and then shipped to Australia. It looks even better in orange.

@7:36 it'd tickle me pink if the 308 GT/4 to the left of May's Lamborghini was actually Richard's Ferrari, *also* repainted and exported to Australia :D

Wonder how many of the Wheeler Dealers cars are around? Absolute bargains even at the time!

6:51 LAMGORGIHINI in the MOT database?! 😂

I bought the mobile rolling road that the 3 cars were tested on in that episode, it was originally built for TVR.

Can you do cars in coronation street

I've just had a contact back from the BBC who is dealing with Top Gear. They are being moved to a different museum.

one I think I'd want is the Rail Sports Car

I’ll take that 308 gt4 for 10k£

Kind of a shame what happened to Clarkson's Maserati.

Whatever they'll do, they can't erase our memories. Top Gear with The Great Trio will always be remembered.

What happened to the amphibious cars?

Buy a lavalier microphone they are cheap and will make wonders for your channel

Why am I 38 and been a fan since pre Clarkson took over and I’m finding out there’s a museum now? I thought they cars they kept were owned by the trio I heard Toyota brought the Ute back as a Australian this is the 1st I’ve heard of it… thought the reunion in the last tour was sentimental enough I didn’t kno the rest of the cars existed still Just hearing of its existence makes me wanna fly to the uk just to see it

The reason it was untaxed is because the tax was in the post

I saw the XJS they did parked in a Durham village, I remember seeing it and thinking what is that then recognised it from the show, no idea how long ago but it was a long time. It was on an expensive no plate

Great video mate, always wondered what happened to these, made me laugh how many times james broke down, what about the sierra saph cossie, e36 m3 and 190e cosworth from the track day saloon challenge, 3 awesome cars

Clarkson's car was the funnyest 😂

The one car i want tracked down is Clarkson's Mercedes from the Season 8 (2006) Quaint My Ride episode. Even though I enjoyed watching the show, it was (and still is) painful to watch how they defaced this car and made it baisicly unfit for public roads They ripped out the interior and added two tons of cement and after all this mistretment it amazinly still drove. The license plate is P597 YGJ It was a 1996 S Class I hope the car is still okay, even after they ruined it back then

The number plate mishaps with the dvla and the Ferrari is excellent! Wonder how that slipped through

Good video. Some interesting comments from other members, keep up the good work Team Oscar

Remember, this was nearly two decades ago. Today, you can get a Maserati 3200 GT V8 for well below £10K that most see as being a grief inducing, dated, unreliable money pit. In two decades time though it will probably be seen as a beautiful classic.

should have bought that Alpine :) lovely Rootes car had a Mark 5 for a while

I wonder what happened to the British leyland “challenge” cars, especially the dolly sprint. I’ve heard it was again bought by Hammond, but there’s barely any info I can find on the car.

I love the emission. It's sad to see theses cars going away.... I know Jeremy, James and Hammond were able to keep as their own somes of the Grand Tour cars and others, I think we should try to contact them (if they don't already know) cause they could be really helpfull, Jeremy won't let his Sport Train being destroyed, yes ? Same for James's Austin BiTurbo and Hammond's cars (even if he already have somes). It's a whole and enormous page of our history that is falling appart, we must save it !!

Fascinating. Good work

'Brought' its finally filtered into common usage!

They don´t choose number plates on pourpose ... never. Jok done. 😏

please try to increase the volume because I can't anymore. . . and I am eating crisps ; )

Sad and for the maseratiwas a great car shame it ended up on top gear

I've contacted a friend who works for the BBC. As I would like to get hold of Clarkson vespa. He said they have no involvement.
