Clarkson at it again. . . .
Watching Graham Norton last night....
From the latest DVD by Top Gear..Worst Cars.
They drop a very nice looking Tax exempt (VWL ***K) 1.3 Coupe onto a newish Fiat panda.
One of them, but dont know which or was said, was Grahams Nortons favouriteish car .
He got a look of scorn from Clarkson & May.

Could have been the Harvest Gold one that was on ebay 3 or 4 months ago????
The "VWL" part of the reg. sounds familiar.

Re: Clarkson at it again. . . .
We think it was that one Dave. I think Josh made a comment about it in an earlier thread. I also saw some of the Graham Norton programme last night and they were asking the audience about their favourite dislikes. Good on the young lady who got up and said Jeremy Clarksonblack tulip tc wrote:Could have been the Harvest Gold one that was on ebay 3 or 4 months ago????

Yup that's VWL 747K
See here for one of the eBay threads.
The car looked a bit dubious with filler and a dodgy respray, although it would have been far nicer to see it broken for spares than just chucked on a Fiat

The classic car movement needs Jeremy Clarkson like Jenson Button needs a towhitch and a Sprite Musketeer....

Re: Clarkson at it again. . . .
I rescued this from birmingham,it looks better than it was.It had the wrong sills weld and stuck on and most other patches were the same. I sold it to a bloke who was going to restore it then it went back on ebay
