Don’t actually know how I found this channel😁. Think I was using my daughter’s Netflix (at her home) … looking for Clarkson’s Farm … wrong place … clicked around a bit … arrived here. Found it really interesting and have subscribed. Love old cars having owned quite a few when they were new.
I know you were talking about Jeremy's Lancia and believed Jeremy had purchased it after filming. Well I've just watched a video recorded at Clarksons farm where they did a big screening of the final Grand Tour episode and he had the Lancia parked ok display in the background & he pointed to it & talked about how it had made it through that episode & is now back here
99.9999999999% Hammond will have kept the Capri. Expect something on the Drivetribe channel at least a day or two after the show airs. The fact that May has kept his Stag & Clarkson kept his Montecarlo says a lot about how much these cars mean to them. The final time they appear as a trio on TV after nearly 25 years, the final adventure together in basically the ultimate tribute to their greatest adventure in nearby Botswana & the final cars they drove on a TV show together. The fact that this marks the very last time after 35 years Clarkson hosts a car show is going to feel even more emotional.
James May has done a tour of America recently promoting gin business - on a podcast he was saying how he has kept the Triumph Stag for himself but that it’s going to be restored by Richard Hammond at ‘the smallest cog’
End of an era, gonna miss these guys having a laugh together, great video again oscar, I agree I reckon clarksons got the lancia as we know how much he loves them
Both the Stag and the Capri were at The Smallest Cog at the beginning of the year, saw them when I was on the estate doing a delivery. I don't know if they're still there, if they are then they're most likely in Hammond's storage unit as they don't leave anything outside.
The previous three cars from the Botwana trip was all bought in South Africa. To get a "MOT" in Zim will cost you a 0.5 pound bribe, no matter the condition of the car.
@Deontjie Nope. Richard still has "Oliver" to this day at his shop, but the other two are still there. The Merc should still run with some work, but it is doubtful that the Lancia will run again. It barely ran during the special, and Jezza was really scared of having to drive his most hated car ever, a VW Beetle.
It's good to know the Lancia got it's doors back. I suspect it's common practice now, that if items are sent out to a foreign country for events, then they have to return to the country of origin. You can't just scrap items once the event is over & return with new material, as the containers manifest won't tally.
Don’t know about the other 2, but can confirm Jeremy’s Lancia has been retained by him and has undergone a full restoration, finished in a dark metallic blue that I don’t think is an official Lancia colour. You are correct, the sills and numerous other places were rusted through and the engine needed a complete rebuild after inhaling all of that desert sand 🤣
I was out at a classic car show in my sd1 and I bumped into a guy who had built these cars for grand tour (didn’t get his name). He said they didn’t get a lot of time so some work had to be rushed. Clarkson wanted the twin lights on the lancia. Somthing that hasn’t been shown yet unless you look for the picture of the cars on a low loader being delivered is the backup car is a Rover sd1 twin plenum vitesse (rover only made 500 twin plenums) sadly due to the grand tour not having much time and wanting changes done. The garage ripped the 3.5l twin plenum engine out and binned it. (Sad as very rear car with racing pedigree) and fitted a 4.6 on a carb. And proceeded to paint it the whole car gold Sad to lose a very rare version
I have no proof but I'm damn sure that the Capri and Stag are kept by Richard and James. These are the final cars they will ever drive as a trio on the show, and all three of them would definitely want to keep their cars after the show ends. I know Richard has kept many of his cars from Grand Tour, Jeremy also kept a couple and James only kept the Beach Buggy, so it all fits. It's really satisfying to know that they will be keeping these three cars, unlike so many of their previous cars which just got trashed, abandoned or forgotten after filming. Good video mate, I quite enjoyed it! This is the first time since the Patagonia special (which incidentally was the first video I saw on your channel) where I've tried to look for information on the trio's cars, so it takes me back to the good days. I'd also like to know about the RS 4 from A Scandi Flick, since that's the only missing link (the Evo and Impreza are both accounted for). Have you made any video on that, and if not then, do you plan to?
The Grand Tour have a secret storage barn somewhere, I know it's been mentioned in DriveTribe videos. I would imagine the Stag and Capri are in there somewhere.
Its their last trip and last show, I’m pretty sure all three are going to keep their cars as a tribute to the time they’ve spent together having a blast all these years.
Just come across your channel love how much research you've done into things you now have a new subscriber can't wait to watch back some of your other videos
You also need to look into the back up car they have, which is a gold Rover SD1. it was seen during the amateur pictures of the production on a truck with the capri.
I did find a picture of an SD1 in the UK with a loose connection to Grand Tour, but couldn't find anything to confirm it was the one. If I get it wrong the viewers are ruthless...
@@oscarsgarage447 Also while doing a random search for 74 Capri GXLs in general, I stumbled upon another photo of VGH 567M, it was on Flickr at a car show in 2010 called "Battlesbridge Ford Fair". Interestingly without the black vinyl roof from the photo you found.
Looks like the trio keeping the cars was the intention all along. Buying excellent examples and not trashing them is not their usual style, and keeper changes the same day fits that theory - I guess the production company signed all three cars over to them at the same time as agreed beforehand.
The Lancia is definitely the type of car Clarkson would want to keep , be very surprised if Hammond & May haven't also bought their cars , if they have the Capri at sometime will definitely appear on Richard Hammond's workshop at the smallest cog. Looking forward to seeing last ever episode of the Masters GOAT trio of comedy motoring journalism, without doubt the pinnacle of presenters. When others try doing what they do particularly Americans & other Brits in TH-cam it's just sad depressing & without doubt pathetic.
The cars would have been bought by the production company in 2023. On the 16th Nov 2023 the production company sold them to the next keeper. It suggests that at that point the team was closing down the production company and selling off assets was already organised. Due to them being sold on the same day it suggests they bought cars in the first place knowing they would keep them privately afterwards. All the cars already had buyers beforehand. Most likely to themselves.
These 3 seem a cut above the usual stuff bought to a budget by the team. And it appears there is a reason, ie they all wanted a memento of their final show. When they trashed the earlier stuff it was no great loss IMO, even the Dino/Lambo/Maser trio were little more than spares cars when bought.
Watching some of Richard’s UTube offerings , seems he keeps a lot of his cars and has reused them in later videos and projects! I think we can assume the same can be said ofthe other cars here. Maybe it’s part of their contracts that they get to keep their cars? Interesting one though! Great video!👏👏
When I first saw the trailer for this I thought the guys would each keep their cars from the final episode, for sure. I would imagine they got to choose which cars they drove in the final and had keeping them afterwards in mind. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was put into their contracts that they get to keep them at the end of this one, or buy them for a nominal £1. 👍🏻
I’ve seen a short video of clarkson advertising a showing of one for the road on a big outdoor screen at his pub and the lancia is parked next to the screen so I think him owning it fits well
I love the capri, I have two mk1s, both need to be restored...one is the least desirable version (1.3litre v4 LHD) the other mk1 is the complete opposite, RHD, named after a predatory fish.
Top Gear and the Grand Tour use a salvage yard in Birmingham, they do all the running around finding vehicles for them and doing the heavy lifting for modifications (fitting roll cages and the like), after returning to the UK they collect the vehicles and breaking them spares, so my bet would be the change of ownership was taking them out of the production company ownership to the salvage yard - when they do challenges in the UK it was the salvage yards big flat bed truck that would be following them I think whats going to happen is the cars will end up on Richard Hammond's drama/tv show as he did with some of the final top gear challenge cars
I would assume all three kept the cars after filming wrapped up, they've all kept cars from previous adventures before so this being the last adventure it make sense they kept them as souvenirs.
Update for all three cars, the Lancia is at the Farmers Dog and the Stag and Capri are at the Smallest Cog. They can be seen in recent Drivetribe and Diddly Squat vids.
James .....Welcome to The Stag Owners family ... They car’t be that bad can they ......looked after properly .... like any other 70s classic they ARE just as reliable
The Ford Capri GXL is quite unusal as it has a Sunroof. That is quite a rare option, its strange it is missing the vynil roof. The GXL is a bit of bargain compared to the RS3100. Even at the time when they were new. The Rs3100 was around £2500 (rs owners club). The GXL was around half that but was better optioned, (engines where the same but the 3100 being bored out to 3094 instead of 2994)
Apart from taking the doors off, which was daft; The cars are very robust and have great suspension as you might have gathered- Yes it will need a clean but I didn’t see “Captain Slow” do any damage or abuse! .. and I own one so I am sensitive to it- I personally love how the Stag demonstrates how they are cloaked in myth about the quality and reliability. Clarkson and Hammond said the Stag engine is crap.. I think the show has just proven this is not true!
@@oscarsgarage447 no Hammond owns drivetribe too and Mike Fernie tends to restore the ex grand tour cars. He’s done the Impreza and found a practically identical replacement for the evo as it was too structurally damaged to repair.
Clarkson buying the Lancia makes sense. I live not far from his farm, and occasionally see a black Montecarlo being driven around the Cotswolds. Not sure if it's the same car, but it would be one heck of a coincidence.
The JC TG bad review of the Mitsubishi S(t)igma led to me buying the 1st one in the UK direct from CCC (H929 KAD). Back in early 80s I had two Capri 3.0 Ghia and prior to that I had a Stag (SAG 36M). Therefore the reason they are classics is the age of the presenters choosing them🤣🤣 Everything becomes 'classic' given enough time.... 🤔
I hope they get rescued the f type is still around from sand job and even the db9 and the Oliver from Botswana special is in hammond garage and the 928 mustang and esprit are crushed in Argentina and the Impreza wrx estate and 850 r and bmw 3 series touring are still found in Africa and the rs4 is here in Clarkson farm and even the Martin the Subaru Impreza wrx sti is in hammond's garage
The cars were owned by the company James Richard and Jeremy set up not sure of the name, something like chump or clump?? And they dissolved their company when they returned so I’d imagine the cars were sold before the company was dissolved.
Top Gear used to annoy the hell out of me .. They got fantastic cars , treated them like crap, totally ruined them and made out it was funny ... Fill an SD1 full of water .. hilarity ... not
It was an first and foremost an entertainment show which happened to be about cars/motoring. So the entertainment always came before the cars. Were it not that way (I.e old/pre-‘01 TG, which I personally really liked as a kid) it wouldn’t have been a fraction as popular.
My guess is Drivetribe has likely bough the stag and the capri for content. Richard will likely restore his through his work shop and james may likely keep his for nostalgia too. It seems very telling that all the cars where high value restored versions of each likely so they could be kept afterwards
My guess would be that they’re squirrelled away at Haynes Motor Museum who have tragically got into bed with Hammond’s failed Drivetribe. I will never reconcile why a respected collection like Haynes would kick out John Haynes’s wonderful Mini collection to make room for the crap that is in there now from the previous episodes. Mind you money talks and motor museum are always looking for now ways to turn a shilling. At least at Beaulieu the 💩 from Top Gear is in a tent round the back and not in the hallowed halls! Sorry. Rant over.
Indeed, he would turn up most days for a nice lunch at his own cafe which has also taken a dive since he departed this mortal coil! I wrote a strong complaint to the CEX and Chris Haynes over the direction the museum is going in, which so far as I can see, means relegating John’s lifetime work for a load of s’crap’. See what I did there? Anyway, thanks for replying. I enjoy your uploads immensely so just thought I’d pop up in the chat as the mere mention of Grand Tour sends me into a stupor! 😅
Best end for so called classic cars. Drove all of them in 70s and 80s. Stag was abysmal Ford Capri was horrendous. Lancia's were Italys revenge for loosing WW2.
I watched last episode with 3 old men. Utterly boring and staged. Stupid exhaust story and yes a spark plug issue. Total waste of time to watch. Finally done this comedy.

Would be nice to see the (former) Stig drive the Stag.
I’m sure I read something about clarkson showing grand tour live on a big screen outside his pub and the lancia being there
Correct, he has uploaded a video short showing him parking it there.
That owner who spent 50k on the Stag must have gutted to see it abused in Africa.

Very true. Some cars arriving at classic car shows at one time it was never imagined they would reach that status.
9:20 Maybe that is why sorta hidden problems appeared during the show
11:40 he did! He parked it in the garden of his pub for the premier of One For The Road.

Don't think so
I wonder what ever happened to John the Land Rover
It was scrapped. Clarkson said in a tweet or somthin. And Hammond said the same after a question from a fan at the Drivetribe show.
its a pity the Lancia was distroyed --- that is a classic and rare car.
So you didn't watch to the end?

Not in the case of the Amazon financed Grand Tour.
Black Beta Montecarlo when it's clearly Blue ?
Accordingly to the auctioneers and DVLA its black...
My guess would be that they’re squirrelled away at Haynes Motor Museum who have tragically got into bed with Hammond’s failed Drivetribe. I will never reconcile why a respected collection like Haynes would kick out John Haynes’s wonderful Mini collection to make room for the crap that is in there now from the previous episodes. Mind you money talks and motor museum are always looking for now ways to turn a shilling. At least at Beaulieu the 💩 from Top Gear is in a tent round the back and not in the hallowed halls! Sorry. Rant over.
I have an insider at Haynes, they aren't there. John was a top man, met him a couple of times.
Indeed, he would turn up most days for a nice lunch at his own cafe which has also taken a dive since he departed this mortal coil! I wrote a strong complaint to the CEX and Chris Haynes over the direction the museum is going in, which so far as I can see, means relegating John’s lifetime work for a load of s’crap’. See what I did there? Anyway, thanks for replying. I enjoy your uploads immensely so just thought I’d pop up in the chat as the mere mention of Grand Tour sends me into a stupor! 😅
@farmer6861 well said sir
Dont sell your classic car to Quentin Tarantino or any of the three suspects here
Good job Oscar
Or Guy Richie?
Or any other Quentins
Best end for so called classic cars. Drove all of them in 70s and 80s. Stag was abysmal Ford Capri was horrendous. Lancia's were Italys revenge for loosing WW2.
LOL
They should have been required to take one of their own cherished cars and trash that instead
Well it appears in a roundabout way they have...

@@oscarsgarage447 oh well, I've watched all your episodes so don't worry
Not worrying. Great videography on your channel, deserve more views & subs.
@@oscarsgarage447 nah, I offer shite editing, I ain't after views, just real ones!
I watched last episode with 3 old men. Utterly boring and staged. Stupid exhaust story and yes a spark plug issue. Total waste of time to watch. Finally done this comedy.
WHO cares
