Jeremy clarkson how many cars

Clarkson describes it as a rugged sports car compared to Ferraris which are delicate. They also sound out of this world and therefore, suit Clarkson perfectly. Not only is it a legend in its own right, but now has the tick of approval from the big man!

It must be good if he chooses to drive the kids to school in this over something German etc. A family man has to do what he has to do! As Clarkson says, every petrolhead needs to own an Alfa, even if they are just Fiats with Alfa badges.

Even ahead of the Lexus LFA. Famously documented in Top Gear magazine, he agonised over colour and trim, and later regretted opting for the GTS model with the lift-out roof panel.

Clarkson has owned a number of Jaguars over the years, but the XJR with its supercharged 4. Described by Jezza as being the safest way of transporting your family, apart from buying an armoured personnel carrier. He actually bought two of them.

Making use of his industry contacts, Jeremy was able to secure one of the few Ford GTs imported to the UK, having enjoyed his drive of a prototype model. Things were less positive when the GT arrived, leading to Clarkson returning the car to Ford for a refund due to the now-famous problems with the alarm system.

He later bought the car back, however. The next car in the Mercedes-AMG series. With a hp V10 engine, the Spyder is still capable of almost mph.

Despite his lust for power, even he could see the advantages of choosing the twin-turbocharged diesel V8 over the supercharged petrol version. Despite the success and fortune, Clarkson has always maintained his love of effective engineering. Praise indeed. According to Top Gear, in order to be classed as a true petrolhead, you must, at some point in your life, own an Alfa Romeo. Four Reliant Robins were acquired as company cars, including one owned by Clarkson.

Back in the day, the Ford Cortina E was the choice of the connoisseur, featuring Rostyle wheels, a black vinyl roof and the engine from the GT. In his book, Driven to Distraction, Clarkson describes some of the cars owned by his wife. He also said he wanted a red one. Mercedes Benz Grosser: Clarkson's Grosser dates back to the 60s, and has lived with quite a few notable celebrities, including Jack Nicholson and Elvis Presley.

It's big and imposing, suits Jezza. According to the man, Lamborghinis are tough, unlike other Italian sports cars. He owns a Gallardo, and it is a convertible. Guess who once, or rather on many occasions, said that old men must not drive about with the top down?

Alfa Romeo GTV6: He's said it time and again, it is very religiously believed by car nuts - if you've never owned an Alfa, you're not a true petrolhead. Carrying this torch forward, Clarkson bought the GTV6. Remember we played with GI-JOE action figures, whether or not you liked a character, collecting them all was serious stuff to us.
