Clarkson, Hammond and May back with more “The Grand Tour” – Lochdown specials

While the most well known trio in motoring aren’t doing their old style show or the regular Grand Tour show any more, they’re still working together making “films” as Clarkson always called them and later this month they’re back with a Covid special called Lochdown.

If you didn’t get it in the title, this special heads up north of the UK to Scotland, and it’s all about celebrating the great 70s American cars they saw in TV shows as kids!

The three cars they get to drive?

  • Cadillac Coupe De Ville as driven by Elvis
  • Lincoln Continental as driven by Jock Ewing of Dallas fame
  • Buick Riviera as piloted by Clint Eastwood

On the streets of Edinburgh through to the highlands, just the usual rubbish that makes for outstanding viewing.

Sadly, it comes late in the month and while we’d like to think Sydney will come out of Lockdown then, lets be honest, that’s probably going to be middle of lockdown:)

The Grand Tour Presents: Lochdown will launch Friday 30th July on Amazon Prime Video
