Probably a GT40 replica, there are a few about which usually come out when the sun is shinning, along with loads of Cobra replicas.

 

[Geddes]

I'm sure he's got a lambo 2 he said on top gear he got rid of it is the 430 a merc?

 

[Geddes]

I guess we will never know if it is or not a replica unless he lives next village over

My guess is its a replica, as most orginal are worth about £250,000+ and rarely see the light of day, even a good replica will set you back over £50K!

Clarksons Ford Gt has Isle of Man plates.
His daily drives are an SLK55 AMG (he sold his previous SL55 AMG to buy the GT).
A Range Rover
Volvo XC90
Ford Focus
Lambo Gallardo Spider green with orange interior.
Think his wife has/had an Elise and a TVR Tamora/ 340r but I think she has an AM V8 now.

the 430 is a Ferrari

and ill say it again for alex ... clarkson no longer has a ford gt. he sold it for a ferrari F430 !

I didnt say he still had it I just said it was on isle of man plates. I don't know about a Ferrari F430, but he definatly ordered a gallardo spider, he can afford both though I guess.

Looks like the Clarkson has a cany garage all them cars wouldn't mind the AM V8 though
