Jeremy Clarkson unveils his ideal Jaguar – and big clues point to him growing some of the car on his farm for new TV special
Clarkson’s Farm has produced many golden TV moments – and now it might have produced “the coolest Jag in the world”.
eremy Clarkson has unveiled his “dream Jaaaaag” at a fancy supercars show in Italy – and there’s an excellent chance some of the parts were grown by the former Top Gear star on his Diddly Squat farm in England. Yes, grown. Like carrots.
The 66-year-old has been filmed driving the black creation, which is based on an F-Type V6S convertible, at the super-posh Villa La Massa show last weekend. Clarkson is shown being handed a small metal trophy after waving to the crowd while he slowly drives the Jag along a driveway in front of what appears to be a panel of judges.
The official Clarkson’s Farm accounts on X and Instagram both posted images of the TV star in what’s sure to be a very unreasonably priced car, with the former running the caption, “It’s a Jaaaaag. And not just any Jag, Jeremy has customized this one off spec himself! It is magnificent. Perhaps the coolest Jag….. in the world.”
Earlier this month, it was revealed that Clarkson is starring in a one-off streaming TV special called Jeremy Grows a Car: A Clarkson’s Farm Special. The man himself confirmed that the car in question is a Jaguar, and he had previously told motoring expert and fellow farmer Harry Metcalfe that he was planning to fit a wider body kit to his F-Type.
The Jag in the Grows a Car production will benefit from materials that are actually grown at Diddly Squat. Leather from his livestock will feature in the interior, and flax harvested from the property is being used as a composite material to replace carbon-fibre elements of the vehicle.
Several clues in the video point to the black Jag being the part-grown car. The leather headrests are stamped with the logo of the Diddly Squat farm, and in a dead giveaway, the words “Flax Type” are displayed in chrome just above the rear bumper (pictured below) instead of “F-Type”.
Clarkson is getting help for the project from Jaguar designer Ian Callum, who penned the original F-Type, as well as British classics like the Aston Martin Vanquish.
The special show is set to be released next year and represents Clarkson’s return to car-based programming after leaving that behind to turn his Farm series into a resounding success.
Late last month he teased fans by revealing he has “fewer, bigger, better” ideas for a new show as he discussed what he wants to do after Clarkson’s Farm winds up.
“It’s very difficult to make a television show work unless you’re cooking on the moon or doing something incredible, and that’s where I think television has to get bigger,” he said.
