Jeremy Clarkson is auctioning three cars from The Grand Tour at the NEC Classic Motor Show on 14 November.

Jeremy Clarkson is auctioning three vehicles used during his time on The Grand Tour, with sales taking place at the NEC Classic Motor Show on 14 November. The Chipping Norton farmer is selling the cars for a reason that will become clear in the next series of Clarkson's Farm, according to reports.

The three vehicles are a 1982 Lancia Montecarlo Spider, which was the final car driven by Clarkson on The Grand Tour and featured in the last episode alongside co-hosts Richard Hammond and James May; a 1983 Alfa Romeo GTV6, featured in the 'Well Aged Scotch' episode with 28,315 miles on the clock; and a 1978 Lincoln Continental Mark V, driven in the 'Lochdown' episode. The Lincoln includes a nitrous injection system, bagpipes in the boot and a Cartier clock.

Clarkson said: 'I rarely get a chance these days to drive or enjoy these very special and quite famous cars, so it's probably for the best if they end up with someone who can.' The auction is managed by Iconic Auctioneers.
