The Grand Tour

5 Times Richard Hammond’s Car Builds Have Failed Throughout Top Gear And The Grand Tour

1996 MG F “Sports Limo” (Top Gear Series 9 Episode 6)

It’s evident that creating your own limousine isn’t going to be a success. But I was pleasantly surprised to witness James’ limousine, the Salfa Romeaab, actually worked even though it appeared to be the most foolish idea. James was actually unable to win the contest not because his car was failing him, but because he simply got lost. And while Clarkson’s limousine split in half, he did… technically… win. Hammond’s limousine, however, was a bit off.

Hammond chose to construct his limousine by creating the longest MG ever built. The nature of the convertible made it extremely fragile and difficult to drive, particularly in cities. In addition, Hammond also added an absurd intercom system for the car as well as a massive rear wing. It didn’t quite go to plan.

Alex started racing at a young age so certainly knows his way around a car and a track. He can just about put a sentence together too, which helps. He has a great interest in the latest models, but would throw all of his money at a rusty old French classic and a 300ZX. Contact: [email protected]
