If you ever fancied owning a small piece of The Grand Tour, this is your chance. Jeremy Clarkson is putting three of his former TV cars up for auction, and the Lancia Montecarlo Spider from the programme’s final episode is the star of the show.
The 1982 Lancia will be joined by Clarkson’s 1983 Alfa Romeo GTV6 and 1978 Lincoln Continental Mark V, with all three coming directly from his personal collection.
Iconic Auctioneers will offer the cars without reserve at its Iconic Sale during the NEC Classic Motor Show on 14 November 2026. That means there is no reserve price protecting the cars, so each will go to the highest bidder.
There is also a bit of mystery attached to the sale. Clarkson has said he rarely gets the opportunity to drive or enjoy the cars these days, while Iconic Auctioneers says the full reason for the sale will become clear in a forthcoming season of Clarkson's Farm.
Jeremy Clarkson Lancia Montecarlo price and history
Of the three cars, the Lancia Montecarlo is the one most likely to make Grand Tour fans reach for their wallets.
This 1982 Spider was Clarkson's choice for The Grand Tour: One for the Road, the final episode featuring Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May together as lead presenters. It was driven across Zimbabwe and Botswana before Clarkson bought it after filming and added it to his collection.
Finished in Lotus Blue, the Montecarlo was modified for the programme with Ferrari 308-style rear lights and quad tailpipes, along with Lancia Delta Integrale wheels, headlights and grille. It also received cloth seats and an Alcantara-covered race-style steering wheel.
The car has since been fettled and tidied by Max500 Ltd. The auction listing says it starts, runs and drives well, with an MOT running until September 2027.
There is a particularly nice bit of television history attached to it, too. During One for the Road, Clarkson was reunited with the Lancia Beta Coupé he had driven in the famous 2007 Top Gear Botswana special.
That makes the Montecarlo more than an old Lancia with a famous previous owner. It was the final car Clarkson drove as part of the original Grand Tour trio, and he liked it enough to buy it himself.
Jeremy Clarkson Alfa Romeo GTV6 auction
The second car is a 1983 Alfa Romeo GTV6 that Clarkson used in Well Aged Scotch, first broadcast in 2019.
The red Alfa was driven around Scotland's North Coast 500 alongside Hammond's Fiat X1/9 and James May's Lancia Gamma Coupé. It has since covered just 28,315 miles, according to the auction information.
It's also a car with the sort of mechanical drama you would expect from a Clarkson TV special. The GTV6 suffered a propshaft failure during filming, while its gear change also became part of the episode's story.
Today, the Alfa is being offered directly from Clarkson's collection. It has a manual gearbox and right-hand drive, with the auction listing describing it as original and highly original.
For buyers who want the Clarkson connection without going for the final Grand Tour car, this could be the more understated choice. It's still a proper classic Alfa Romeo, but it doesn't carry quite the same end-of-an-era significance as the Lancia.
Jeremy Clarkson Lincoln Continental Mark V
Then there is the complete opposite of the Alfa.
Clarkson's 1978 Lincoln Continental Mark V is a huge American coupé with a 6.6-litre engine, and it featured in The Grand Tour Presents: Lochdown, the Scotland-based special made during the pandemic.
The Lincoln was modified for the programme with nitrous injection, and the auction listing confirms that the equipment remains with the car. It also retains some wonderfully Clarkson-esque details, including bagpipes in the boot and the Cartier clock that caught his attention during the show.
Unlike the Lancia and Alfa, this is left-hand drive and uses an automatic gearbox. The auction information lists 68,000 miles and confirms that it is being sold directly from Clarkson's collection.
Clarkson said during Lochdown that he wanted the Lincoln in his life, and he subsequently bought it.
Now he's letting somebody else have a go.
Jeremy Clarkson's Grand Tour cars verdict
If you're buying purely for collectability, I'd have my eye on the Lancia Montecarlo. The Alfa Romeo is arguably the more conventional classic car purchase, while the Lincoln is the wonderfully bonkers wildcard, but the Lancia has the strongest story of the three.
It's the final car Clarkson drove on The Grand Tour, it was subsequently bought by Clarkson himself and it retains the modifications that made it instantly recognisable on screen.
The important point is that none of these cars has an announced reserve. They will all go under the hammer at Iconic Auctioneers on 14 November, so their eventual prices will be decided by the bidders on the day.
For a Grand Tour fan with deep enough pockets, though, the Lancia is the one I'd struggle to leave behind.
