Jeremy Clarkson

Motoring has been Jeremy Clarkson’s life. It is his 9 to 5, and it is also his passion. He is a broadcaster, journalist, and writer who has specialized in the field and writes a column for The Sun and The Sunday Times. Clarkson likewise became famous for hosting Top Gear and The Grand Tour. In 2015, he founded the company W. Chump & Sons, which produced The Grand Tour.

As an enthusiast, Clarkson has driven many types of cars in his lifetime. His very first, however, was a Mark 11 Ford Cortina. It cost him £900, a small amount by today’s standard. As he is well-versed in cars, he selected only the best version. The journalist revealed that he was prejudiced towards Cortina. Despite its age, his Cortina could still run from 0 to 100 km/h in just 19.9 seconds. It is unlikely he would need to press the gas pedal to its limits, but it is a decent speed, nonetheless.
