He is one of the biggest automobile journalists on the planet. He shot to fame after appearing on the famed Top Gear and The Grand Tour. He gained ardent fans and a significant amount of critics for his outspoken nature and honest commentary.

Toyota Land Cruiser J40
One of the absolute favourite cars of Jeremy Clarkson is the Toyota Land Cruiser J40. During one episode of Top Gear, Jeremy and James May became the first people ever to reach the North Pole in a car. Unsurprisingly, they chose the Toyota pickup truck for the job. That is a testament to their trust in the reliability this iconic carmaker offers. Over the years, he decided to keep his Land Cruiser J40 and even used it in one episode of Top Gear, where he put it through its paces in South Africa. During this excursion, it demonstrated immense capabilities regardless of the terrain. No wonder he calls it “The Invincible”.
McLaren 675LT
The car collection of Jeremy Clarkson also contains a McLaren 675LT. It is one of the most powerful and fastest vehicles on the planet. In fact, you would find it in the garages of only the absolute hardcore driving enthusiastic celebrities across the globe. Hence, I am not surprised that Jeremy decided to have one in his opulent garage. It carries a potent 3.8-litre twin-turbo V8 engine which develops a mammoth 666 hp and 700 Nm of peak power and torque, respectively. More importantly, the acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h comes up in just 2.9 seconds.
1973 Mercedes-Benz 600 Grosser
Arguably, the most iconic and rare vehicle in the car collection of Jeremy Clarkson has to be the 1973 Mercedes-Benz 600 Grosser. It has had influential owners throughout the course of history, including the iconic singer Elvis Presley. This proves that Jeremy has immense love and passion for vintage cars. The road presence of the 1973 Mercedes-Benz 600 Grosser is unlike any other vehicle out there, even today. It exudes that infectious retro charm. The long bonnet embodies a large  6.3-litre V8 mill, which generates a cool 241 hp and 500 Nm of peak power and torque. Interestingly, it remained in production from 1963 to 1981.
2008 Range Rover L322 Vogue
Jeremy Clarkson widely regards the 2008 Range Rover L322 Vogue as the best car he has ever owned. He typically uses it for his time at his farm. This SUV is close to his heart and he has mentioned it in many interviews. Over the years, the legendary moniker has constantly attracted new celebrities who love to show up in style. The imposing road presence it commands is unlike any other vehicle out there. Also, its rugged characteristics and off-roading prowess ensure that the users can tread any terrain without worrying. Hence, it makes sense why Jeremy would love it to this extent.
Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder
One of the offbeat vehicles in the car collection of Jeremy Clarkson (in comparison to the previously mentioned cars) is the Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder. He doesn’t typically opt for outright sports cars all that often. Nevertheless, after driving the Gallardo Spyder during his run with Top Gear, he instantly fell in love with this Italian beauty. Needless to mention, the driving dynamics of this fire-breathing monster would impress anyone. Hence, he decided to add it to his illustrious garage. Under its hood, there is a peppy 5.2-litre V10 engine which produces a healthy 550 hp and 540 Nm of maximum power and torque, respectively. The 6-speed automated manual transmission enables a 0 to 100 km/h acceleration time of just 3.4 seconds.
My View
In all honesty, it would be challenging to dive into the details of all the vehicles Jeremy Clarkson has owned over the years. Nevertheless, the table in the beginning represents the diverse range of cars he loves. It is clear that he is a true automobile buff with cars ranging from all shapes and sizes and from different eras. That is an advantage of a job which allows one to experience so many vehicles. He knows many cars and their peculiarities inside out. I would be lying if I said I am not slightly envious of Jeremy’s outrageous car garage.
