I remember years back it was at a show beside my dads escos, in concourse and the guy was saying hed spent near on £20k just tidying the car up! It was mint of course. He had a pic on the dash of him shaking Clarksons hand as he had bought it. Think his name was John, was quite a big fella.
Did Clarkson only have 1 escos? Cos when growing up and reading a few of his interviews in magazines he mentioned in one that the rear spoiler was nicked off his escos and in another interview he claimed an old biddy had ran into the side of it and smashed it leaving a big repair bill!
