Collectors stand to own three cars driven by Jeremy Clarkson on The Grand Tour, after the presenter put them up for sale with Iconic Auctioneers. The vehicles will cross the block at the Iconic Sale during the NEC Classic Motor Show in Birmingham, England, on November 14 and 15, and all are being offered without a reserve, so they will sell to the highest bidder.
Leading the group is a 1982 Lancia Montecarlo Spider, the final car Clarkson drove in The Grand Tour Presents: One for the Road, the Zimbabwe and Botswana special that closed the trio’s original run. Clarkson bought the Lancia after filming and kept it in his collection; Iconic Auctioneers says the car has been refurbished and is now running. The Montecarlo used for the trip was altered for the journey, fitted with Ferrari 308 rear lights, four exhaust outlets, Lancia Delta Integrale wheels, and a revised grille and headlight arrangement. Clarkson also replaced the leather seats with cloth and fitted a simple Alcantara steering wheel without buttons to reduce the risk of electrical faults in extreme heat.
The second lot is a 1983 Alfa Romeo GTV6 that featured in the 2019 episode "Well Aged Scotch," when Clarkson drove Scotland’s North Coast 500. The auction listing records roughly 28,315 miles and says the car has been maintained in-house. It carries Alfa’s 2.5-liter V6, an engine Clarkson praised for its character; he previously owned, sold, and later reacquired this particular GTV6 before deciding to sell it again.
The third car is a 1978 Lincoln Continental Mark V that appeared in the "Lochdown" special, in which the trio toured Scotland in oversized American cars. The Lincoln keeps its 6.6-liter V8 and still has the nitrous-injection system fitted for filming, although the system reportedly underperformed on camera because the engine lacked supporting modifications. Interior details from the episode remain, including the Cartier clock and a set of bagpipes in the trunk.
Iconic Auctioneers and Clarkson say he rarely gets the chance to drive or enjoy the cars anymore, and the auction house has hinted the broader reason for the sale will be revealed during the upcoming season of Clarkson’s Farm. For now, the next step is straightforward: the three Grand Tour vehicles will be offered with no minimum bids in mid-November, and the highest bidders will take ownership.
