Jeremy Clarkson is selling three cars used in The Grand Tour series at auction in November.

Jeremy Clarkson is auctioning three cars used in The Grand Tour series this November through Iconic Auctioneers. The reason for the sale will 'become clear' in the next season of Clarkson's Farm, according to the auction house.

The 1982 Lancia Montecarlo Spider was the last car Clarkson drove on The Grand Tour, used in the 'One for the Road' episode that marked the final programme with co-presenters Richard Hammond and James May. It was specially modified for the show with rear lights from a Ferrari 308, quad tailpipes, Lancia Delta Integrale wheels and a racing steering wheel. Clarkson purchased the car after filming and it currently 'starts, runs and drives well'.

The second vehicle is a 1983 Alfa Romeo GTV6, which Clarkson drove in the 'Well Aged Scotch' episode, the inaugural Grand Tour broadcast in 2019. It was used to drive Scotland's North Coast 500 and has covered 28,315 miles, maintained 'in-house'. The third is a 1978 Lincoln Continental Mark V from the 'Lochdown' episode.

Clarkson, who kept the cars at his Chadlington farm in Oxfordshire, 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.'
