It would be quite amusing to discover that Clarkson is a closet BX fan! I suspect he isn't though...

the numberplate rings a bell, but I cant place it..
Clarkson had a BX actually.. for a short while..
Smokes lots, because enough's enough already!

Far too many BX's, a bus, an ambulance a few trucks, not enough time and never enough cash...

Tiff Needell had a BX TZD Turbo too. I have an article somewhere. Other 'celebrity' BX owners? Gordon Kaye (unfortunately the BX couldn't protect him from a falling tree) and Anthony Head to name but two...

It'd be quite amusing to discover that Clarkson was a 'closet' anything given his propensity to clobber anything and everyone that doesn't adhere to the editorial policies and dubious moral rectitude of the Sun newspaper! :D

I don't think it's Brian Sewell as I can't imagine him having much time for new fangled gadgetry like (for instance) . . . the internal combustion engine :shock:.

What about Patrick 'the Sky at Night' Moore? Eccentric man, eccentric car - bingo! No monocle I'll admit - perhaps he doesn't need it for driving?
