Jeremy Clarkson was seen agonising over the decision to buy a new tractor in the final episode of the hit Amazon Prime show – but has now sold the green mega machine
Jeremy Clarkson has ditched the shiny new Lamborghini tractor he recently acquired for his Diddly Squat Farm, despite only having bought it weeks ago. Viewers will remember that Jeremy was seen on Clarkson’s Farm deliberating over the extravagant purchase.
Just a matter of weeks ago, viewers of Clarkson’s Farm witnessed Jeremy test-driving a plethora of tractors to the dismay of his partner Lisa Hogan, expressing that picking the perfect one was “filling me with absolute dread”. He eventually decided upon an £85,000 green Lamborghini beast, powered by a 7.8-litre engine and packing 340 horsepower, much to co-star Kaleb Cooper’s amazement.
Yet, in a turn of events, Clarkson was spotted this week at a farm machinery and tractor sale near Ely in Cambridgeshire, parting ways with the newly bought green machine.
Bystanders reported that Clarkson admitted to selling the tractor due to numerous electrical faults and opted to revive his beloved older Lamborghini tractor from retirement.
A witness, a 31-year-old engineer who prefers anonymity, encountered Clarkson and his right-hand man Kaleb surrounded by cameras and the posh tractor at the auction saying: “It was fantastic. I was so surprised to see him there.
“I was getting a coffee and someone said he was there. I turned around and realised I was right near his tractor. I’m a massive fan. It was amazing! I watched every episode of Top Gear with my dad and every episode of Clarkson’s Farm with my son.”
Auctioneers Cheffins did not respond to comment; however, they did tantalise enthusiasts with an Instagram video flaunting the tractors up for grabs at the auction, including the eye-catching green Lambo.
One social media user questioned: “Is that Clarkson’s Lamborghini?” with a dozen others showing their approval with a ‘thumbs up’. Jeremy Clarkson, known for his penchant for fast cars, has a Lamborghini Trattori R8 270 DCR in his collection, which he acquired second-hand for £40,000.
It remains a mystery whether this is the tractor he mentioned he’s “taking out of retirement”. Things haven’t been smooth sailing for Jeremy lately, as he was forced to hit out following a complaint at his pub.
He has insisted on paying ‘premium’ prices for top-quality local beef for the pies served up at The Farmer’s Dog, the pub showcased in the Amazon series. Clarkson suggested that those baulking at the cost could resort to less scrumptious, chemically-treated alternatives.
The sharp-tongued ex-Top Gear presenter delivered the rebuff following criticism from a disgruntled punter who contacted him on social media, fuming: “Thought @JeremyClarkson wanted an affordable pub for customers. £24 for pie and veg is a bit much.”
Clarkson fired back: “Have you seen beef prices right now? If you could make it for less, I’ll give you a job.” In response to another query, “Your cows aren’t they Jeremy?” Clarkson clarified: “Some are. Most come from other farmers in the area and we pay a premium. We are here to back British farming. If you don’t want to do that, fine. Enjoy your chlorine.”
