- Clarkson’s modified 1982 Lancia Montecarlo Spider is included in the auction.
- The British presenter is also selling his Lincoln Continental Mark V and Alfa Romeo GTV6.
- Each of these three classics was featured in episodes of “The Grand Tour.”
Three cars from Jeremy Clarkson’s personal collection, all of which starred in episodes of “The Grand Tour,” are heading to auction in November. If you want to own a piece of motoring history, now is your chance.
The first of the trio is the 1978 Lincoln Continental Mark V, which Clarkson drove during “The Grand Tour Presents: Lochdown,” where he, Richard Hammond, and James May each drove three American classics in Scotland. Clarkson has said he usually doesn’t keep the cars from his shows, but after filming wrapped up, this Lincoln was added to his garage.

The Continental Mark V, painted in a glistening shade of blue, is mostly original, although it was equipped with NOS during the episode, but apparently, the system never actually worked. Not only is the exterior painted blue, but the car’s cabin is also trimmed in matching blue. The odometer currently sits at 68,285 miles (109,894 km).

Iconic Auctioneers has also announced it will sell the 1983 Alfa Romeo GTV6 which Clarkson drove in the seventh episode of series 3, also filmed in Scotland. It’s fitted with Alfa Romeo’s famous 2.5-liter Busso engine. Perhaps most impressive is the fact that the car has been driven a measly 28,315 miles (45,568 km), very little given its age.

Rounding out the sale is a 1982 Lancia Montecarlo Spider, no doubt the most special of the three. This is the car that Clarkson drove during the final episode of “The Grand Tour.” Filmed in Zimbabwe and Botswana, the episode pushed this Lancia to its absolute limits, but somehow, it survived.
Several modifications have been made to it, including the fitment of taillights from a Ferrari 308, quad tailpipes, Lancia Delta Integrale wheels, and distinctive grilles. It also has a distinctive Lotus Blue paint scheme, while the cabin sports cloth seats rather than leather ones.
All three cars are being sold without a reserve, although we suspect each will sell for far beyond the typical sales price of a normal Continental Mark V, GTV6, or Montecarlo Spider.
