Recently, the paparazzi caught sight of Jeremy Clarkson, the former Top Gear host, cruising around the streets of London, UK in a vibrant lime green Lamborghini Huracan. The media-dubbed “Mr. Provocative” was behind the wheel of the seemingly brand new supercar, on his way to meet some friends for a potential purchase of a classic Ferrari Pininfarina 275.
Unfortunately, Clarkson made a parking error and was approached by a friendly traffic police officer. Instead of issuing a ticket, the officer recognized Clarkson and shared a laugh with him, showing leniency.

After spending 15 minutes inspecting the black classic Ferrari Pininfarina 275, Clarkson ultimately decided against purchasing it. Instead, he returned home in the Lamborghini Huracan with Italian plates. It turns out that he had borrowed the car rather than buying it.
In the past week, the other two Top Gear hosts, Richard Hammond and James May, also left the show. This was a direct result of the scandal involving Clarkson, who had physically confronted a producer and was subsequently fired by the BBC.
During an interview with the Sunday Times, James May revealed that he had ordered a Ferrari 458 Speciale prior to the scandal. “I had placed the order for the last one. Therefore, I needed a job to pay for the Ferrari 458 Speciale that I ordered,” May explained.
According to May, when the trio were on the verge of signing new contracts with the BBC for another 3 years, he had ordered a Ferrari 458 Speciale priced at £208,090 (approximately $317,400). Unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned for May.

Meanwhile, Richard Hammond, the other remaining host, is feeling disheartened after losing his job. To cure his boredom, he decided to film himself driving his 1931 Lagonda and uploaded it to YouTube.
The future of the three former Top Gear hosts remains uncertain at this time.
