It was advertised as Hammond’s old car by the dealer, so imagine the scene when he called.
In his line as an automotive journalist and a celebrity host, Richard Hammond has owned several cars in the past. The least tall of the Grand Tour trio has a huge appetite for classic cars, so it’s understandable if the list of cars he’s owned before includes many old ones.

Unlike the collection of cars he sold before, there’s one particular one that Hammond has admitted to regretting selling – the Jaguar XJR, specifically a black one from 1999. Powered by a supercharged 4.0-litre V8 and comes in a tasteful exterior package, we understand why Hammond adores this British saloon.
