Oliver is the perfect example of a belief that Clarkson and many other car owners share, that a machine can transcend itself and gain a soul. When we've owned cars long enough, they take on a personality and we don't see them as mere steel and aluminum tubs to move us from A to B. We spend years of our lives in cars; they share in our joys and sorrows. Never get rid of that car.

You'd be amazed what a difference a thorough service and a tune up can do to a small, low power vehicle like Oliver. My SJ410 is 45hp according to the brochure. A refresh and service of the ignition and fueling system, followed by tuning the mixture and advancing the spark timing a bit and the old girl suddenly came alive. 10hp is a lot when you've only 40 to start with.

I totally understand re how Hammond feels about Oliver, i have had my ‘69 Fiat 124 sport for 41 years. Enzo has been a part of my life for so long that i could never sell him. He took me to uni, i courted with the car, took him on my honeymoon, raced him, crashed and had him rebuilt,/restored, used to drive him to work and so on. Some cars/things in life become precious to us, they are a part of one’s family.

I remember the great Botswana episode and strangely even without mentioning that, we all know the car named Oliver. Oliver instantly became a well known car and still is after all those years.

Every time I see Oliver, I can’t help but smile. I love that little car. I even named my dog after it. ❤️

I'd honestly love to watch a grand tour episode of just the three talking about and driving cars they've kept from their years of filming.

I love seeing how hopelessly in love with this little car Hammond is. It really sings to the truest nature of being a car enthusiast: loving every detail of an objectively unremarkable car because there is some intangible element of magic about this old bit of steel with some wheels on it. That childish smile and glitter in his eye when he sits in that car. That is car passion at its purest

I hope that if Hammond does any upgrading, it's a version of the car that Opel wished they could've if it weren't for cost caps. Improving the engine, transmission, suspension, and braking, but with period manufacturer parts would be a nice project for Oliver and Hammond.

I agree, or make it appear as a natural progression of upgrades over many years in the ownership of someone without a huge budget/unlimited resources. What comes to mind immediately is some higher comp pistons (leave the rest of the rotating assembly stock), slightly larger carburetor off of something similar, clean up the intake/exhaust manifolds, polyurethane bushings all round, and some old school fog lights (maybe, don't want to lose the Oliver look. Same idea with a very discreet duckbill).

Also, since he's a shop owner now. He can pull the other two cars from the Botswana episode and refurbish them as well. Imagine Clarkson and May's reactions if you call them out for a youtube drive special and don't tell them what they'd be driving. And then there's their old cars from Botswana. I'd enjoy every minute of watching that.

When it comes to that "Decluttering fad", one of the main tenants was " Only keep it if it brings you joy". Outside of his children and wife, I doubt there is anything that brings him more joy.

Oliver reminds me of my 1964 122s Volvo. It was dead simple to work on. Always reliable with proper attention. But mine had dual carbs and 2.2L as I recall. So it was quick for what it was. Miss it!

Ive always loved Oliver. Id love to see him restored!

This is such a great episodes! The sincerity behind this was awesome.

Richard having a wee pop at Top Gear 😂 love it. Can't believe that this car was from 15 years ago when driven across Botswana & the fact that Richard still has it & still makes him feel giddy is beautiful to see.

Oliver makes me feel happy.

NEVER sell Oliver! NEVER take him back to Botswana! Poor thing would just end up like Jeremy's Lancia and James' Mercedes! I know a majority of people are saying Oliver needs to be stock, but I think you definitely need to do a sort of rally car feel, but in a subtle, tasty way, as you don't need "anything too larrie" as you said all those years ago. Going all "hot rod" would change him too much and make him practically unrecognizable. Stick with an engine that's in the same flavor as Oliver's original, but somewhat larger and makes quite a bit more power, make him more fun and convenient to drive, but still in essence the same little car you fell in love with back in Botswana. That's what I would personally do! But at the end of the day Oliver is your car, and you have every right to do whatever you want with him.

I've been following Oliver since the day you introduced it so many years ago. I love that you have such admiration for the old boy still.

Just love hammond driving and talking, relaxing😁

I'm so used to Top Gear shenanigans that I thought the shot at 4:42 was scripted ...

That is the most perfect scale match - human/car I’ve ever seen. 😂

Richard & Oliver. The understanding of humanity's reflection through steel.

Thanks to its past, that has unexpectedly become one of the most iconic cars in the world.

I have a little two-seater Minor that is 30 years older than Oliver and I've done 4000 miles in it so far this year. Starts first time, every time. Oliver is very fancy, it has a 4-speed gearbox with synchromesh gears, side windows, and a roof. My little Morris has a 3-speed crash 'box, no side windows, and no roof. The two of us will be going on another little outing into deepest darkest Herefordshire in a few days. As usual, I'm looking forward to getting over Bringsty Common with 19bhp on tap 🤣

The originally snubbed pilots also rejected the invitation in solidarity with the other 8,000+ Polish servicemen that were not invited. Of course the British people didn’t hate the Pols but many didn’t appreciate and equate their sacrifice to that of their fellow countrymen. A sign of the times that the US with the Tuskegee Airmen also had in common.

I grew up with my own Oliver, a 1968 red Vauxhall Viva, Oliver’s younger cousin. had the same soul. Loved that car.

5:05 "if you ever dig out that old show and watch it" Season 10, episode 4. What a memorable episode.

Oliver is more than a car, It is the spirit of what made top gear.

If it was my Opel, I'd probably change the wheels back to steelies with caps. I'd also do some internal work to the drivetrain to boost power a bit, but otherwise, I'd just keep her all stock and enjoy the drive. That's what I did with my '69 Ford.

Oliver always puts a smile on my face, i truely adore the cute little Kadett.
