Oh the body is great,surprised he hasn't bought it back ,he keeps bleating on about how much he misses it.

[ZOLLAR]

That car would look a lot better if Clarkson had asked for the interior CF package imo

[Mclelland77]

Been for sale forever and although the interior is individual ( I love it) it's a manual car touching 20k miles without Callisto's so even with warranty is over priced by £7-8k IMO, it's the same price as my car which is much better ;-)

I would suggest that having Clarkson on the V5 would be a good reason NOT to buy it.

Not exactly renoun for his light footedness or mechanical sympathy.

Not sure that's completely true,

Forgive me if I'm wrong Phil, but that same name would appear on the V5 of a car you own would it not?

Correct, the Clarkson's treat their own cars very well.

I had a Spyder in the same colour scheme, Looked awesome in the flesh.

But mine was e-gear, and met an unfortunate end!

[Mr Trophy]

Quick question and perhaps abit silly. Will Clarkson pay the full price for a car like that?

I always wonder this, I do actually imagine so. Chris Harris has recently enjoyed 6 months in an SLS thanks to Mercedes which was never clear the origins of but now it's been handed back it was clearly a loaner and I imagine that the G Spyder will have been an outright purchase, whether there was any form of contribution we'll never know but I doubt it.

I forget the column, but there was an article he wrote about paying for the G Spyder, saying it's the most cash he'd parted with, without it being a property, the black series and SLK where generously discounted, I thought this gallardo had passed hands to a PH'er after clarkson, which he also made comment on, saying the money he lost originally was the equvilant of a 3 bed semi in Leeds, will dig out the article when I get back to a desk.
