Clarkson and the Swiss trip Griff

[lazyitus]

Anybody have a link (youtube or other) of the episode when Clarkson drove a Griffith to Switzerland back in the 90's ? I think it was on 'Clarksons Motorworld'.

It was shown on 'Dave' TV a month or two back but my mate who saw it didn't think to ring me and tell me it was on.

There are/were several links to this video on youtube and other similar sites but most/all of them will not show the footage, why?-who know's. I did manage to record it the second time it was shown on dave so if you're desperate I could mail you a DVD of it.

Clarksons Motorworld has been on Dave on Saturdays and Sundays (2 episodes on each day) for a fair while now. It is on 4-5pm from memory Saturday and 12-1 Sunday. Its not on this weekend but Detroit is on 12:30 Saturday the 22nd, Iceland 3-3.30, nothing on the Sunday or the week after!
I can send you a picture of it in my garage if that helps.

DVD for me please (I'll e-mail you offline). I have video'd it but missed the start!

Hi DWGriffith.

I'd love a DVD of it just to view but I know it's a hassle. I'll see if I can find it on the net somewhere first. Cheers.

Was that the 'Ocean Haze' Griff with The Verve's 'symph' playing background? - great soundtrack for the car...

No, that was the white(is) press car (M519RCW - now on private plate) burbling down Blackpool prom on the Top Gear 50th Anniversary programme in 1997.

Bet the Griff has aged better than Clarkson - when was that shot?

The same TVR Griffith is in the Monaco Part 1 also !!

The boat from which he asks for a mooring looks rather different to the one with the girlies on. Suppose one bit was filmed in Southampton and the other in Portsmouth.
