Clarkson Rover V8 - Now

[vaughanmc]

Remember Clarkson's V8 Vitesse that he raced the Nova 2.0 16v Sport in ?

Found some pictures of it how it sits now

Seen these on the SD1 Owners Club forum, haven't seen any updates since

Quite shocking as it was a nice looking car in his film:

Least the Nova held out better than the V8...

Lol wonder why it didnt end up in the topgear carpark like the rest of the cars they build or break!

[vaughanmc]

No idea mate - Will be nearly 10 years ago since that film was made

[Connor]

shame to see it in such a state,
least the nova got looked after :thumb:
thinks its safe to say the nova is overall winner

[vaughanmc]

Aye, it even made an appearance in last months Total Vauxhall

Nice to see it's still out and about - Definately needs the pink chequers back on it though :)

We all know the nova wouldve handed the rover its own ass had VBH not been mincing about on the handbrake, but who cares cos the novas still alive, the silly rover is dead and VBH is still fit as feck and has a sexy voice lol

[vaughanmc]

She's looking well in the new Clarkson DVD :thumb:

Some did.

[novacabrio]

Is that 100% the car? what proof is there? Have you got the link to the SD1 site?

[Graeme]

I'd be convinced, the sign writing on the door and rear panel look very similar

EDIT Here (http://www.v8engines.com/projects-033-clarkson.htm) is a link to the car off the Rpi site, the fellas responsible for building it and it has been said that it was nearly ten years since the 'At full throttle' video

[XE PROJECT]

and the one from the british leyland show

Didn't Clarkson also crash one of the 1st Vectra Supertourings or ST200's ?

Dont know about that but there was a story of him crashing a highly tuned RS200 at Crail.

[mowgli]

i can't believe that after ten odd years since that rather crap live action cartoon was filmed, people are still banging on about it.....

there was another one they filmed with tim harvey & the late richard burns at mallory, where the 'drivers' both decided the 106 was by far the most fun, and best car, they got outvoted by jezza because there was some jap thing with 2 turbos & 4 computers.......i got it for xmas, and the sally army shop got it in january...

this stuff is designed for one purpose: it is for parents to buy it for their teenage sons at xmas because they think
a. he'll like it
b. they think its trendy cos halfords sell them
c. and it will hopefully stop him w@nking for a while

when, all it does is put clarksons kids thru a private education

[burgo]

lol ive got that video aswell mowgli, ive got most of his vids to be fair

[mowgli]

please use them as kindling immediately, then go & beat yourself with a holly twig for admitting ownership of such material.

Click on this youtube link (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JR5BIApAYXA) and in the replies theres one by 'SavageV8' who says he took these pictures outside RPi and he was going to restore it but is not going to, so id say yes it definately is, plus you can see the 'Driven by Jeremy Clarkson' on the door aswell:thumb:
