Have you wondered whether you could feasibly ever own one of the legendary cars from Top Gear, or The Grand Tour for that matter? You can't. But don't worry, you may be able to still see a few of those cars with your own eyes! Just a few. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Quick correction on Jezza’s Bentley, it was _not_ scrapped, it was taken back by Bentley and is at one of their museums. It’s thankfully okay
Your close but wrong it actually just inside Bentley , Crewe main gate in a large see through display ,as it was a prototype and not registered jezza couldn’t keep it they let him use it on an episode of his farm then took it to Crewe where they make them.can see it from Pam’s lane entrance.
If you've watched clarkson's farm, you'd know that it together with his Jeep from Colombia and the GTV6 from Inverness are all stored in his shed.
It’s so disappointing that BBC scrapped 90% of TG cars and that some of them were demolished only because of 2016 reboot which nobody likes
BBC has a habit of binning or destroying things. Amount of old Doctor Who tapes they chucked for example.
@@bantabury The Doctor Who tapes were more likely overwritten than binned, videotape was expensive in the early days so they would re-use it where they could.
You could still argue that they don't care much about preservation!
It is often forgotten there's nothing the British enjoy more then crushing cars
@@TheRealEmile literally. I HATE that crushing scheme
Tbf the show itself was known for crushing cars
@@ETYPEJaguar38 but they don’t need to crush cars part of the shows history, and not even get content out of it
so much so that theyre cars disentigrate from rust the longer you use them
A couple more that I know of:
- One of the Car Football Aygos was up for sale on eBay recently, it was being kept by someone in Worthing, UK
- James' black Urraco from the Budget Supercars challenge ended up being imported to Australia after being restored and resprayed orange
Some info on cars not mentioned in this video (which is still very good btw)
The 3 100 pound car challenge cars a Volvo, Audi and Rover were crashed during the episode and later donated to the local fire station who used them for training purposes.
The Triumph Dolomite Hammond used in the British Leyland Challenge was sold to race team who turned it into a historic racer.
The Lamborghni Urraco that May used in the Budget Supercar Challenge now lives in Australia and it's owner has since repainted it orange.
Jeremy's Alfa 75 from Series 11's Alfa Romeo Challenge now lives in private hand and was up for sale in 2015 with the paint peeling off.
James' Citroen Ami8 from the classic car rally is in a museum and was recently in a Drivetribe video with Tiff Needell
And the Datsun 120Y was actually sold to a member of the production crew
Another reason to hate the new Top Gear.
Honestly, new Top Gear is just okay. Sure, it may not be as fun as old TG, but it's still relatively entertaining.
Another "Madagascar Special" car, the Caterham driven by James may, actually keep at the "same" state by Caterham themselves (minus the mud and turd)
A friend of mine actually brought one of the old topgear football aygo’s ( no 5 white)
Still ran but was a state
As for the grand tour a lot of the cars have been saved. Richard in particular managed to keep most of his. Drivetribe made videos on them and some like the SSR and off-road aston has ended up in the Haynes Motor Museum.
Yep, and I've got the Le Seyde
I've actually seen the red Kia C'eed Reasonably priced car at Goodwood a couple years ago, tucked away at the side of the supercar carpark. Recognised the numberplate straight away as LC10PHF.
Jeremys acres instead of Clarkson's farm is just bloody good sense of humor
Thank goodness we still have all the old episodes to rewatch to see these cars in their prime
As is the topic of the video, I remember stumbling upon James' TVR from the classic British sports cars episode up for sale on Car & Classic back in April 2023 for £11k (I still have a screenshot of the listing saved). It is in near enough the exact same state as it was last seen on the show. Don't know much apart from that but I presume it is now in the hands of a private buyer
And as for the other cars from Lochdown, Lisa (Jeremy's partner) has said that Jeremy still has his Lincoln Continental with him, though I don't believe it has been publicly shown since. James' Cadillac though I have no info on, so at least 2 of the 3 cars have their whereabouts known
Wasn't the bentley shipped back to the factory and put in a glass display or something instead of being crushed?
Update: you can still see it in Bentley HQ in Crewe Chesire England
Yes, Bentley saved it
Did you see when the grand tour was formed all 3 of them and the producer bought a reliant robin each for themselves as "company cars"?
Been so old they were exempt from the driving charges in London, when the 3rd series ended and they just went onto do specials they sold the cars along with the production office, I know two of these Reliants have now been shipped to a car collector in the USA
Another notable example of a car that managed to survive is the Alfa Romeo 75 from the cheap Alfas challenge. The car was sold back to the dealership they got it from after filming and thankfully went to a private owner. It still exists today, shitty green Skoda Fabia paint and all, while the other two are no longer on this earth.
This is true, but it's been sold on to somebody who has deleted the facebook page and obviously is antisocial
this channel feels like its been around for years, even though it only has 10 videos and was only really properly started 2 months ago. (not counting the random mac sounds video from 9 years ago)
Richard Hammonds "Bug Out/ Survival VW Camper" was found by us on Salisbury Plains some years ago now. It was of course burnt out but we salvaged from the inside some bean cans with bullet holes in them from where James and Jeremy shot it up, and they are still on my sons bedroom shelf and the thread from Hammonds jumper as it unwound itself as he was talking about it.
The hatching on the images looks awful
Maybe if it were just a touuuuch finer hatching, it'd be better.
I'm guessing it's like that for copyright reasons
Skill issue
2:32
People: Man i really want that car on my screen, it should NOT been sent to be scraped
Also people: these press car shouldn't been sold to the public
😂
Beulieu Motor Museum has a vault of cars which are not on public display, you can arrange to see a vehicle if they still have it. I also know that certain vehicles from various TV productions have been hidden away in the back of the scrapyards as such, so not all is lost. A number of vehicles from The Grand Tour where also used in Banger Racing before being crushed, for example those featured in the China special, surprisingly they where shipped back to the UK after filming just to be destroyed. A number of minor vehicles used in the modern Top Gear without the trio also came to the same fate.
How can you arrange to see them?
I imagine the cars were shipped back to the UK after filming due to China's extremely strict laws on vehicles entering and exiting the country.
@@ZachAscot If you want to see a specific vehicle that you know is hidden away then sometimes you can arrange access to the vault but it's not 100% a given. I believe they have started to do some guided tours of the archives by special request however I don't know if that involves the vehicles aswell.
Existing in Waterlooville may be the worst fate of the lot tbh, poor Astra.
This video might as well be summarized with footages of a car crusher
glad they destroyed iconic cars driven by the trio loved by millions of people worldwide so they can replace them with cars driven by literal nobodies
great move BBC
If I remember correctly, Richard Hammond’s E36 M3 from the cheap sports saloons challenge had its two-tone interior swapped out with a white interior. Last I’ve heard it was going in auction in 2015, and was last registered in 2017.
Why do you destroy the picture quality when you show the pictures?
My guess would be for copyright purposes.
Have seen two of the reasonably priced cars in person, the Cee apostrophe Dee and the Astra. Both were at the DriveTribe meet at Haynes!
you actually forgot about that orange zenvo st1 that cought on fire,zenvo got it back to the factory and now it belongs in a private collection in Sweden among a 250 gto and a lot of other cool cars
The Cadillac CTS which Hammond tested in Holland also turned up at car meet. Ed's Auto Reviews mentioned it in his video.
bro i was searching about this last week rlly happy you made a video abt it
i can say first hand that one of the reasonably priced lacettis still exists, in decayed but working order. this is the same for a few other vehicles from the show, primarily from the post-clarkson/hammond/may. sadly i cant really say much more than that
The one car i want tracked down is Clarkson's Merc from the Quaint My Ride episode. It's been my favorite segment for years. I hope the car is fine
CORSICAR DONT MISS ‼️
The owner of the 1953 Lanchester LJ200 Richard drove in the classic car rally challenge has put up a few videos of it on TH-cam
Wake up babe, corsicar just uploaded somethin
08:43 The Liana is owned by a private owner, DRIVETRIBE did make a video about it titled "We Bought a Top Gear Reasonably Priced Car!" The original plates are in the boot of the car, and the DVLA just said it's not on the road anymore. The car just changed its plates
3:27 theres a really sad image i remember seeing which had the top gear police challenge all in a scrapyard, such a shame that this happened to all of the others too
To be fair Hammond has since said that the Grand Tour Mods are going to be binned and the car will be restored to its former glory.
An errors here. The liana was destroyed on an episode of New Top gear (they lit it on fire)
Thought you were joking but it's actually true...
Thankfully though multiple Lianas were used for the segment. GX52 HFN (the original Liana), is still around today and was most recently seen in some of Ben Collins' videos at the Top Gear Test Track. The other notably used Liana, GU03 WLC (used for the later CHM-era series' for the F1 drivers), was the one that was burned for an episode of Top Gear sometime around early 2020.
@@TheHonoraryBrit Yes, literally. I remember not watching any of the new top gear but for some reason watching that one episode and getting so angry! I also believe they ruined one of the Kia Ceed’s in a top gear video named ‘360 DISASTROUS Car Park Race!’
@@A1C6 Having checked the Cee'd used in that video, it doesn't seem to be one of the three used for the show, and appears to be a lower trim model guessing from the steel wheels (with hubcaps on)
@@TheHonoraryBrit Oh I see. That’s good news
I wish there were 4 guys on top gear. Jeremy, Cheremy, James and Chames.
I'm sure a reasonably priced car has been sold at a reasonable price, right?
the fate of the 928 from the Patagonia special, is not clear. thay said she was scrapped but a new V5C was issued on october 2020...
If I had all the money in the world, I'd give half of it just to get Top Gear back.
Interesting video. I've got Jeremy's Mitsuoka Le Seyyyyydddeeee!
I'm still wondering if there's unknown cars from cancelled challenges out there, just gathering dust and rot somewhere
although, one of the Football Toyota Aygo recently sold on Facebook marketplace....
Oh cool a vide- CORSICAR OMG
I always wondered what happened to the 3 cars from the 2007 US special. They’ve probably long since been scrapped with maybe the exception of the Dodge. For some reason I was always curious about what aftermarket wheels were on the Camaro since I’ve never seen them on any other car.
Cash for clunkers happened about 2 years later (3 from filming I bet most died when that happened)
LETS GO ANOTHER CORSICAR VID JUST DROPED
Mostly in the scrap yard as far as I’m aware
Oh wow I had no idea that the Bentley was destroyed :(
It was going to be, but then Bentley saved it and put it on display
YES! A NEW CORSICAR VIDEO
wait what happened in Argentina?
He is baaack! Wake up people he uploaded!
Chevy Optra
Hey dude! I didn't know anyway to contact you, but as you can see I'm a non member, but a few days or weeks earlier I saw this video with it's thumbnail on my feed. Of course, I couldn't watch it since it was a member only, but I could see the next video with it's thumbnail. I just wanted to let you know if you weren't aware, so that you can, if there is the option, to fix it.
can anyone tell me the name of the song used in the ending.
Why do you have the pictures and videos dotted? Copyright?
Im sire thr Liana, or one of them, os at their HQ in Milton Keynes
Why are the images and videos so pixelated
great video 🫵🏻
The hilux?
awesome
Everyone go to sleep

i put the license plates of the liana, CEE apostrophe d and astra on the uk government website and noticed that the liana doesn't have an mot but ben collins (ex stig) has shot some videos at dunsfold with a liana (gx52hfn, also no mot and they have claimed it was the one they used on tg) but in some shots you can see part of the original liana's plate, being guo3wlc. so i 5hink they're still at dunsfold since they're the TG reasonably priced cars and there's a company that let's race on the track. the laccetti i have no idea, it wouldn't make sense for them to keep. the cee'd is still around, last mot 18 oct 2023, first mot in 2013, expires this month, failed in 2018 for a bunch of stuff, advisory a couple of days later for "supplementary restraint system warning lamp not illiminating". and in 2021 and in 2022 and it's apparently the automatic one. no news on manuals. the astra (VX13 OSB) is also still around, last mot february of this year but also got an advisory in 2021 for " supplementary restraint system warning lamp not illiminating" but the oldest mot was on 2018
