Top Gear’s Richard Hammond Private Collection Auction

Former Top Gear and current The Grand Tour host Richard Hammond is parting ways with a portion of his car collection to fund his classic car restoration shop The Smallest Cog. Every vehicle in the collection is going to auction with no reserve, and unsurprisingly, there are some true gems. Topping the list is 1969 Porsche 911T, followed by a one-of-48 1999 Lotus Esprit Sport 350, the ultimate version of Lotus’ long-running sports car. For those wanting a more luxurious ride, a 1959 Bentley S2 will be offered. Fans of two-wheeled transportation can find a Norton Dominator, 1976 Kawasaki z900 A4, and a highly sought-after 1977 Moto Guzzi Le Mans Mk1. The auction takes place July 31-August 1 at the legendary Silverstone racetrack.
