A battered car Jeremy Clarkson bought for just £450 on Top Gear is now selling for £15,000 – and he doesn’t even have an MoT.

The 1989 Alfa Romeo 75 V6 3.0 Veloce was driven by the star for an episode of the former motoring TV show.

It appeared in episode three, series 11 in 2008, when the three presenters were tasked with buying an Alfa Romeo for under £1000.

Clarkson bought this 137mph car for just £450, highlighting its rear-mounted gearbox for improved weight distribution, limited-slip differential, and distinctive in-board rear brakes.

He praised its 3.0-litre Busso V6 engine, calling it “one of the best engines ever to go into mass production.”

Throughout the episode, the car faced several challenges, including a track day at Rockingham Motor Speedway.

There was also a calendar photoshoot, and the Auto Italia Stanford Hall Concours, for which Clarkson personally repainted it in a memorable shade he called ‘Skoda Green’.
