At last, I've found the vid of my 850R being driven by Clarkson on the old top gear. It's on you tube, but I don't know how to upload a linky. If you tap in
"old top gear,BMW,Alfa romeo & Volvo,corgi museum & last ever V.W.Corrado 1995" that should get you to the vid.He chooses the volvo over the other two,but it's quite a funny sketch with him dressed up as a punk driving the R.
Hope you enjoy.

Aah, old top gear, Quentin,Tiff... and Clarkson didn't look like he had just woken up in a shop doorway

I sold mine in 2005 for 4 grand with 160K miles on the clock.

New V70 T6 with all the trimmings is nearly £52k, Mine sold for about £40k when new, plod paid about £22k each. We rob any car .con offered me 1800 quid for mine last year lol. I probably have more chance of selling John Prescott's cricket box than I have of selling an ex plod with 186k on the clock so I'll be running it into oblivion

Brilliant find, can't even begin to tell you how long I've been looking for that episode and watching it now I remember it like it was on yesterday. Good result for the R too... A rightful win

Bob if that's your own car, N493 EBW, I have a couple of press photos in the form of postcards of it which I could scan if you wish

Really enjoyed showing my mrs this vid, as she has a 156, and to see Clarkson choose the Volvo over the Alfa and Beemer was great. My lad couldn't believe how young Jezzer looks either as he thinks Jezzers always looked as he does now!
