What cars do the Top Gear presenters have?

pdavda · July 23rd, 2004, 02:12 PM

We already know that Jeremy has a Merc SL55 AMG, a Jaguar of some sort and a Ford GT, but what about Richard and James? From watching Top Gear I've picked up that Richard has a Range Rover and James has a Bentley but does anyone know for sure which cars they have?

well Jeremy doesnt have a ford gt 40 yet i dont think..

Renesis · July 23rd, 2004, 03:45 PM

Jeremy ordered a GT.

Richard had an old 911 but he sold it to get a Charger (waht he said in an episode) but I'm not sure if he really got one.

I'm not sure about James but a Jaguar would be your best bet, it would suit his personnality perfectly.

James had an old Bentley during Top Gear Series 1. Not sure if he has swapped cars since then.

When I saw the top gear eps for the first time i thought Jeremy would be the person for a Mazda (626 of something) Richard would drive a GTI GSI GT little dragracing shoebox and James is an oldtimer type images/smilies/mrgreen.gif

And as far as I know i'm only right on James... images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

p0w3r · July 23rd, 2004, 09:42 PM

not cars...but wasn't there an episode where James and Richard came to work in a Motorcycle? (it was just a pic of them) Then Jeremy made fun of Richard for driving a Harley to work

Renesis · July 23rd, 2004, 09:43 PM

yep James and richard have motorcycles.

MPower · July 23rd, 2004, 10:40 PM

I remember picking up a TG magazine once. Hammond wrote an article about motorcycles. I dont have the magazine any more but I think I remember him saying he has a BMW Motorcycle, a R1100T (or something like that... cant remember).

Greatgraddage · July 24th, 2004, 12:20 AM

James has an old bentley, an old range rover and an old mini (bought off ebay) as far as I know from reading his column in The Daily Telegraph.

Zuhaib · July 24th, 2004, 12:37 AM

I know Richard has an GSX-R1000, as he talks about putting in new pipes in the July issue of Top Gear Mag (I got that mag while i was there)
And again in Aug issue of Top Gear, he talks about his first ride on a Sportster and says how Harley riders would sometime look down on him as a rider of an GSX-R1000.

p0w3r · July 24th, 2004, 02:17 AM

I just watched the GT40 episode..Richard said to Jeremy, "I got some old jerry cans in my Land Rover you can strap those around it then fill it." images/smilies/mrgreen.gif

Renesis · July 24th, 2004, 02:55 AM

Dark_Templer_102 · July 25th, 2004, 03:23 AM

Jostyrostelli · July 25th, 2004, 10:44 AM

I think James is 35
Richard could be 29
And Jeremy's gotta be at least 41 images/smilies/mrgreen.gif

nosispower · July 25th, 2004, 05:06 PM

He's only 41? He looks...50...
