What cars do Tiff and the other presenters own?

Danny Tran · April 19th, 2008, 04:42 PM

I'm really wondering what Tiff owns....

Cobol74 · April 19th, 2008, 04:44 PM

Last I heard (Quite a while ago now) it was a Merceds ML (7 seater). But bound to have changed by now.

I believe Tiff doesn't own a car because he always got something to drive thanks to his job images/smilies/smile.gif

Mr. Nice · April 19th, 2008, 06:03 PM

I don't know what Tiff owns, but Vicki owns an S2000... Tiff had one given to him once as a gift, but I have no idea if he kept it.

otispunkmeyer · April 19th, 2008, 06:12 PM

i remember a while back he was completely in love the E39 M5 so i wouldnt be suprised if he had owned one of those at some point

If I'm not mistaken he said the Silver Cayman was his, in one of the episode doing a shootout with the 1 series driven by Jason.

I know Plato has a 997 (11 Turbo. Tom used to own a Monaro, and his wife drive a 3 series estate.

Shawn · April 19th, 2008, 10:23 PM

I know Jonny Smith owns a W123 Merc running on chip fat. Does that help? images/smilies/biggrin.gif

I think most of the presenters' cars we know about have been posted here now.

MadCow809 · April 20th, 2008, 03:07 AM

Tiff drives a BMW 545i and an ML merc

Vicky had an S2000, but gave it away as one of the competition cars.

Plato has quite a few cars, Z4, 911Turbo and a Seat

Tom has a Ford Mondeo estate. In pimp mobile spec.

Interesting to think about what they own. TGs presenters basically park their cars on the road for all to see!

If you pay attention in the last series, you can always see it in the background.

eldiaoble · April 21st, 2008, 05:01 AM

I thought Tom owned a M5 touring because i remember reading an article in Top Gear magazine about that. If I'm wrong sorry.

PistonBroke · April 21st, 2008, 05:32 PM

Vicki owns a Golf Mk2 GTI and has had many Honda S2000s since about 1999/2000, presumably as part of a deal she has with them.

mitza4rally · April 21st, 2008, 10:11 PM

Don`t no for shour but Tiff has a BMW Coupe

I've only ever seen her in the Suzuka Blue S2000. Maybe she's had more than one, but she's sticking with the same damn color, that's for sure.

Solberg · April 24th, 2008, 02:16 PM

Tom has a black mondeo estate in titanium x spec I think. It now has 20 inch wheels!

theboyG · April 25th, 2008, 05:41 PM

Tom gets his cars from AutoCar as a writer - so his currect 'lifer' is the Mondy estate.

Check in AutoCar at the back for his updates to see what his latest cars are.

Solberg · April 25th, 2008, 07:57 PM

I think you mean Top Gear magazine not AutoCar.

PistonBroke · April 26th, 2008, 07:42 PM

Vicki has at least one new Honda S2000 each year, sometimes two, and she's had a variety of colours. Standard UK registration plates change every six months, so it's very easy to tell the age of a car, as long as it doesn't have "vanity plates".

It makes sense for her to have a deal with Honda. I read an interview where she said she drives over
50,000 miles per year. That would invoke some serious depreciation as well as servicing costs. If she leased it, why would she have the same model for so many years? She obviously loves the S2000, but you'd have a little variety, surely.

It must work for Honda as well. Britain's most famous female motoring personality is seen all over the country in one of their cars, at minimal cost to them, and she does the odd PR appearance for them as well - for instance at the British Grand Prix last year. Plus it regularly appears on Fifth Gear, in fact, pretty much every week now if you look hard enough.

Guess what car she had before her first S2000? A Jordan Honda Civic.
