Jeremy Clarkson left a superfan in floods of tears with a touching tribute to his late father Jeremy takes part in Car S.O.S tonight James couldn’t believe it as Jeremy drove his late father’s Land Rover Discovery towards himHe used to present the BBC show as well as The Grand Tour on Amazon Prime alongside James May and Richard Hammond.
Now Jeremy, 64, once again brought his signature wit and no-nonsense charm to a very special motoring show while at at his famous farm, Diddly Squat.
Tim Shaw and Fuzz Townshend returned to the airwaves to restore a very special vehicle.
James from Cambridgeshire owns a Land Rover Discovery that once belonged to his father Jim as the family car.
Unfortunately, Jim passed away five years ago and the car has been stored in a field since his death.
Since then, the parts have been stripped away and the metal structure was suffering from rust.
His mother, Kate, emphasised the sentimental value of the SUV, saying: “To James, the car is better than any photograph of his dad, because that car is his dad.
“They argued [in it], slept in it, they ate in it, it’s just been a brilliant car and it’s a family friend.”
Both of the experts restored the car to its former glory and planned to surprise James on Jeremy’s famous farm.
It just so happens that James has been a massive fan of the former Grand Tour host for years and was visiting Clarkson’s Farm in Oxfordshire for a VIP tour.
Presenter Tim hid in the boot of the car as Jeremy pulled up in the restored jeep, and James immediately broke down in tears.
He told The Sun columnist that he recognised the car as his dad’s straight away, despite Jezza’s insistence that he just bought it.
It was even disguised with a fake personalised numberplate with the star’s surname on it.
But before long, Tim emerged from his hiding place and the rest of his nearest and dearest also made their way out from a nearby disguised barn to be part of the surprise.
The Grand Tour episode guide
How many seasons of The Grand Tour are there and where do they take place?
The Grand Tour launched on Prime Video in 2016 and quickly became one of the streamer’s biggest hits as hosts Jeremy, 63, James, 60, and Richard, 52, felt it was time they move on from Top Gear hit the road.
They have now brought five epic series of motoring adventures to the small screen, each taking place in different locations and even featuring celebrity guests.
Series 1
Series 1 aired from 2016 to 2017 and took the presenters to a number of foreign locales, including Jordan, Morocco and Italy. The series is comprised of 13 episodes, with episodes 7 and 8 making up a two-part special set in Namibia, where the trio embarked on an epic beach buggy challenge.Series 2
Jeremy, Richard and James returned for more motoring actor in series 2, and drove their way across Europe as they tested out some of their dream vehicles like the Bugatti Chiron and the McLaren 720S. This series, which aired from 2017 to 2018, is made up of 11 episodes. It features regular ‘studio segments’ filmed in the team’s permanent tent in the Cotswolds, and had regular participation from celebrities with two guests going head-to-head on timed laps every episode.Series 3
In 2019, the presenting trio crossed continents – from North America, to South America, to Europe and Asia – putting both new vehicles and classic sports cars through their paces. This series was the last to feature the regular studio segments, car reviews and timed laps. To mark the end of this era the final episode’s last segment includes a montage of scenes featuring the presenters over the course of their career as a trio, not only from this programme, but also from their time hosting Top Gear.Series 4
This series marked a complete change in format for The Grand Tour as it consists entirely for feature-length specials which aired between 2019 and 2021. The first two chronicle Jeremy, Richard and James’ epic adventures across Asia and Africa, while the third and fourth episodes saw them put foreign cars to the test on their home turf. And fitting American vehicles through Scottish roads is no easy feat.Series 5
Following the same format as series 4, the fifth and final series of The Grand Tour also consists of four feature-length specials. The first of these hits screens in 2022 and follows the trio as they travelled through Norway, Sweden and Finland in three Rally-Inspired Sports Saloons. The second episode was another Euro adventure while the third took the presenters back to Africa. The fourth instalment of the series and final ever episode of The Grand Tour, titled One for the Road, premieres on September 13, 2024. It promises to be an emotional one as the trio set out on one epic final adventure in Zimbabwe and reflect on their 22-year-long working relationship and friendship.Jeremy brought his signature sarcasm to the programme as he then joked: “Now if we could just stop the blubbing, we have a serious problem, I need your help with the groundwork.”
“We got the water coming down there and we dug a French drain in there to get it into that field.”
James said he would need two weeks to help solve the problem, as Jeremy once again feigned disappointment.
James was extremely emotional Jeremy made a return to motoring TV for the episodeCar S.O.S. Airs at 8pm on April 10 on National Geographic.
