Another Grand Tour car has been saved! We have rescued Richard Hammond's Aston Martin DB9 from the Sand Job special, and now Jeremy Clarkson's F-Type has made it back to UK from the Sahara too. Mike Fernie takes a look around this V6 supercharged hero to see how it has faired after its desert adventure.

    NOTE to everyone on here. My name is Dan from this video. Just to make things clear we are not “the guys who built” the car. The car was built by RallyRaidUK. Unfortunately the part of me talking about that has not been put in this video.
  • @Sosu217
    I saw on Insta that JC has bought another identical F-Type in white as he liked this one so much.
  • @ralphgascon7337
    we need a top gear / grand tour museum that features all the cars they used. hope they can find the patagonia cars

    6:41 “it’s not a k&n. That’s a shame…” said no off roader ever. K&N lets so much debris through that anyone that truly off roads knows you don’t run that, especially in dusty conditions.
  • @a2b2lax67
    Improvements, looks wise, James is the best of the trio. Best improvements functionality wise, Jeremy. And Richard's, well he was driving with a car that was possessed.
  • @Tjescoo
    Is this rescue, or prolonged torture?
  • @Yvolve
    Great to see some of these cars come back and get used for more adventures. I wish they kept all the Top Gear and Grand Tour builds they did, that would've made a great museum.
  • @ceesdewidt887
    Thnx, great behind the scenes stuff and stories. You gotta love the F-type. I suggest to clean it up, make it all work and reliable, but don’t get rid of all the sand 😉
  • @khanikun
    It's got to be awesome to be one of the builders for these shows. Simply cause, you don't have to care about it being perfect. Just functional and last long enough for the filming.
  • @5ebra1
    These cars should be taken to car shows or put in a museum.
  • @jimchik
    “…as the car is completely wiping them out.” Awesome.
  • @aaronmachado13
    Honestly love the rally raid cars and thought the Aston was my favorite for the roof tent going full overland setup even if the Maserati looked better and F-type was the best car of the three.
  • No warnings on the dash, you say? A shot a minute earlier showed a clear airbag light on, probably from the bonnet air bag!
  • @realkilju
    I think this car was the best looking one out of the three cars, It actually looked like a proper offroader
  • @Prodriver33
    The intake noise is my thing since 1997 when I first put a shorter intake with cone filter on my Nissan Altima and let the KA24-DE sing for me. I’ve been an intake over exhaust evangelist ever since! Intake noise is a million times better than exhaust noise. I keep exhaust stock quiet so I can run the loudest intake possible.

    They were using this on the farm, Lisa pulled up to the shop in it over a year ago when my buddy was there LOL. JCs farm response squad keeps growing lol
  • @bikkiikun
    Restore to Grand Tour starting condition and slightly improve, safety wise, and some beautification and preservation.
