Shock: Jeremy Clarkson Is Back On A Car Show

Jeremy Clarkson of Top Gear and The Grand Tour fame reportedly is starring in a new car show that was filmed entirely in secret. This comes after it seemed the man was done doing car-related shows, favoring his series about the plights of farming instead. But the man’s returning to the motoring world might not be what you think.

Check out the Jeep Wrangler truck being called a “Corvette Killer.”

According to Yahoo Entertainment, Clarkson secretly filmed an episode of a British car show called Car SOS, which is produced by National Geographic. The series, which is hosted by Tim Shaw and Fuzz Townshend, features old cars being restored by a team of experts for owners who can’t do the work themselves.

Those owners are usually selected because of tear-jerking story, so it’s a feel-good car show. Loved ones sign the people up in secret and the classic rides are whisked away to be restored without the owner’s knowledge.

Then a big emotional reveal is staged and everyone cries. It’s apparently quite popular in the UK and we can see why.

From time to time the hosts bring a celebrity guest on to help out. Yahoo Entertainment says Gordon Ramsay, who is a huge gearhead, was on one episode. That’s why Clarkson participated in the filming of a recent episode.

In that episode, a Land Rover Discovery Series 1 is restored without the owner’s knowledge. Clarkson participates in the big reveal, although we don’t know exactly how.

While this might not be the return to motoring TV shows everyone was hoping for when it came to Jeremy Clarkson, this is what we get. We’d expect the man is on form, being sarcastic and grumpy about the Land Rover and vehicles in general.

If only Clarkson would launch his own car show, something like Clarkson’s Farm. Maybe something about owning an automotive repair shop and the struggles that involves?
