Their reactions when the auctioneer reveals the starting price. Absolutely hilarious from all three of them. Trouble is Clarkson had set a crazy reserve price which obviously wasn't met, so he ended up having to keep The Excellent. He's done more work on it and apparently still drives it.
I genuinely love the Excellent. Needs a bit of work, but what a spectacular marriage of strength and elegance. Also I love how in-universe, Hammond and May are capable of hearing the voice over in real time.
@@TheSudsy Yeah, i don't know the real story behind it, but i assumed it just didn't meet the reserve and would not be sold, they could have the auctioneer say the line that it was sold for jokes, or, yeah, it was all scripted.
I speak a bit portuguese, I think they say....5:16 "não tem conforte nenhum" (it has no confort whatsoever) 5:22 "Estou cuidando pra não quebrar" (I´m trying not to break it) 5:29 "Ta legal, o motor ta bom" (It´s cool, the engine is good)
The grand tour has taught me two things: One, even though I live two hours away from the ocean I need to own a PBR secondly, THE EXCELLENT is EXCELLENT in every way.
You can tell how old this is when ALL of those Chelsea players are no longer at the club, apart from RLC, who's on loan at Fulham. Edit: RLC is now back in the Chelsea squad.
Lmao, the subtitles. Haha, that was funny. If someone wants to know what the brazilian lads said, here goes. 5:16 - There is no comfort at all (Willian) - Mine is better (Willian) -Be careful to not break anything (Oscar) - There is no rats here, right? ( Willian ) - Nah, it looks cool, the engine is good. (Oscar)
I think it's a great idea, if done properly and built from scratch. It actually looks pretty good. Much better than the so-called coupe-suvs we have now.
@@TSERJI Sir Alex Ferguson was the football manager for Manchester United from 1986 to 2013. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest managers of all time and has won more trophies than any other manager in the history of football.

@@JuniperJennifer666 also they ran out of good ideas.. in the latest top gear years the quality already went down, with only a few original items per season and lots of recycled ideas. imho the grand tour was not getting any better, I saw a few good items, but not enough to keep going.
As someone who knows french - subtitles had nothing to do with what he said. Were u being funny or smth? He started saying if it is cold u can not close the roof blah blah blah
I would honestly love to own that car. Looks fun as hell to drive and I could not care less about fancy accessories like "heating" and a "functional speedometer".
Im not really a car lover, I just have a car but top gear was a great show because of the pure chemistry. In the essence of classic British comedy to take one out the equation and substitute for another simply wouldn't work.
6:12 This reminds me of when I walked around Canary Wharf in London during the recession. They'd closed the road and were selling super cars outside the shopping mall.
The interesting thing is- if I were given the choice for a car I had to own for life- and had to pick between that, and say a Lambo/ Merc/ BMW/ anything expensive- this would be the de facto choice. Insurance, maintainence, repairs, etc. on those other cars are insanely outside budget for those kinds of cars- even if given for free. This on the other hand- it's unique, and combines the sleek chassic of the Merc with an offroading behemoth, not to mention is way lighter on your wallet when things go wrong. No one else has anything quite like it- the choice has already been made.
There was a flash game back in the mid or late 2000’s called Car Town, which had real-life cars (not sure if properly licensed, as it did very abruptly shut down), and you could fit monster truck wheels onto any of the cars in the game. This looks like one of those Car Town cars brought to life. Lovely.
LOL... the French guy actually says, "In London it's cold, so a convertible is no good" And then "I can't see"
Actually, they're both Belgian. So they're mini-French people...

Probably one of James' better clap backs 😂😂
The person who actually bought it, Probably made a lot more More money by converting it back into its Original make.
Hammond and May's faces when he says £425 hahahaha
For a HOT SECOND I thought the fella was going to say £425,000 and I nearly died.
Absolutely brilliant. Clarkson looks so shocked.
It's a show. That is why it is called, 'A show.'
I thought it was somehow going to start at £425 and end up over the original number of £120,000 lol
I can't believe someone actually bidded on it
3:03 "This is two scrap cars glued together by a muppet"
Nailed it.
Hammond laughing in the background at 120 thousand 😂

I would rather keep this car too. Yeah you got a Mercedes, but can it go off-roading

Just under 500 lol

I felt that.
you drive an s chassis huh
I can fix it with just one mod , 16inch bakkie rims would look better , those range rover rims are too big for the Merc

dude whoever bought that damn car hit the jackpot
it's literally a grand tour collectible 1 out of 1 ever made
It didn't hit reserve price, so it didn't sell. Clarkson still has this piece of... work, today.

True. I would've bought it just for the shit's and giggles😂😂😂😂
In the wrong sort of way lmao

I can almost guarantee the guy who won the bid can flip that car for AT LEAST 5X more than what he paid because it's now Grand Tour famous
The car still belongs to Jeremy.
Actual

“The interior would benefit from some minor attention,
