In this video I review a car that is rumoured to have been previously owned by Jeremy Clarkson. In fact you can see the car in a Twitter post he made back in 2015 here: jeremyclarkson/st...
The car is a serious piece of kit. Even today this 20,000 mile example is worth well over £100,000. In this video I explain why by talking through the upgrades over the standard model. There are significant changes to the chassis, styling and interior of the car. And the exhaust and engine have ben uprated too.
So how does Jeremy Clarkson's old car feel to drive. Watch the video to find out and see how quick it is or isn't from 0-60mph!

Jeremy mentioned it in one of his columns, saying that the Lotus test driver who designed the Top Gear test track reckons he can re-tune the standard rock-hard suspension to be much softer still gain time over the standard car. So the car Mat's testing here is in fact tuned by the Lotus driver, and yes it is faster round that track than a standard car.

9:40 That offset seating position is just as noticeable on LHD cars. Back when I was still reviewing cars for a living, we had the good fortune of Mercedes bringing us a Black Series CLK (on a covered trailer, no less) to the office. It wasn't my review, but I got to drive the car in the week it was at the office and besides the puny gear-lever, the weird driving position was pretty much the only negative I could find with the car... Well... 500 hp and those flared wheel-arches make up for a lot of negatives, so I may have been a bit biased... :D
@Hammar89 2 роки тому
Apart from what Mat already said, there can be problems with the "vanos" aswell. Most of these problems where taken care of when the SLS came along. There's info online about this, also FROM which engine number these changes were made. For example the 507 edition C63 had the upgraded engine if I'm correct.
