WHAT DO I THINK OF JEREMY CLARKSON'S GRAND TOUR MITSUOKA LE SEYEDE? — RedlineArchive

Join me, the owner of Jeremy Clarkson's ex-Top Gear Alfa Romeo 75, as I meet up with Zach, the current owner of the iconic Mitsuoka Le-Seyde driven by Clarkson in The Grand Tour: Eurocrash special! At a Top Gear filming location near the M3 (Farnborough Business Park – site of the classic 2010 four-door saloon showdown with the Aston Martin Rapide, Maserati Quattroporte, and Porsche Panamera), we dive deep into two legendary Clarkson cars: The absurdly long, flamboyant Mitsuoka Le-Seyde: A Nissan Silvia S13-based Japanese luxury cruiser stretched to van-like proportions (17 feet long!), featuring the famous candelabras fitted by James May to annoy Clarkson (which he surprisingly ended up liking), green wheels painted by Clarkson himself, arrow holes from Hungarian archers in the Eurocrash challenges, a wild Dalmatian-print interior (101 Dalmatians vibes – thanks to James May and the crew), underwhelming ship horns, and more bonkers details. The ex-Top Gear Alfa Romeo: Clarkson's battered but beloved 3.0 V6 from a classic cheap Alfa challenge, now preserved with its racing stripes and history intact. We explore the exterior quirks, interior madness (including the glued-on dalmatian interior, bolted Recaro seats in Clarkson's driving position, missing A-pillar from camera mounts, and wax remnants of Nigel Mansell's figure), driving impressions (parking nightmares, visibility issues with the massive front end and candelabras), and why keeping these cars original preserves their Grand Tour/Top Gear heritage. Highlights include: Candelabra demo (disappointingly quiet – upgrade needed!) Boot practicality, battery setup for all-day lights, and insurance quirks for driving with candelabras Road trip vibes, wind noise, and junction chaos Banter about Clarkson's obsessions (green wheels, anyone?) If you love The Grand Tour, Top Gear, Jeremy Clarkson cars, rare Mitsuoka builds, Alfa Romeo classics, or just utterly bizarre automotive TV history, this is the video for you! Watch the follow-up on Zach's channel where he drives the Alfa Romeo. Drop your ideas in the comments: Where should these two Clarkson legends go next? Adventures await!
