Video of the segment is at the link - although most of us have seen it.

I think the Top Gear team should have bought it and turned it into The Caravan From Hell. I bet Jeremy would not hate the trip so much and James would have a harder time wrecking it at a petrol station.

I'v been meaning to say this for ages but did anyone else notice the front of the truck broke off after Hammond drove it through the temporary building?

 

[Donington]

Yeah, I posted that when it was for sale on 'best of ebay'

$25K? LOL, a far cry from the half million pounds (about $800,000) Hammond quoted in that episode

Wonder if it's the same guy that drives around in a tank.

Sorry if it's a repost. I did a search but nothing came up.

 

[Donington]

I just posted a picture of it, I never knew what it sold for.

Quote from the website
"Here we have a truly one off chance to bid on the remarkable talon army riot van costing in excess of half million pounds when built reputed to have been built in 1992. This particular talon was only used in army demonstration days ? in it,s later years has been used as a delivery vehicle for high value goods"

Now thats depreciation!!!!
