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.

Stop "flipping the bird" when pointing things out. The index finger was specifically designed for pointing. The F-you finger was specifically designed to express powerful words without having to actually speak.
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.

I agree. Mechanically there will need to be alot sorted to future proof and fix what needs doing. Cosmetically i dont plan on changing its appearance except for re installing the missing trims and airbags. Other than that it will just be tidying things up such as the arches, the bonnet and the exhaust system.

The Patagonia cars were destroyed, AFAIK, which is terribly disappointing and sad. I mean, that Mustang wasn't my cup of tea, but man... The Porsche 928 is one of my personal all-time greats (I have 2 of them) and the GT was perhaps the best of them all, and I don't think there's much that needs to be said about the Esprit. It's godly awesome, save for its gearbox, perhaps.

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.
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 😉
“…as the car is completely wiping them out.” Awesome.
These cars should be taken to car shows or put in a museum.
Jags dont go to heaven, they take you there
I think this car was the best looking one out of the three cars, It actually looked like a proper offroader
unreal the v8 block has v6 heads on it and blanked off hahah love it
Brilliant again! Well done Haynes what an achievement 👏 🏏
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
No warnings on the dash, you say? A shot a minute earlier showed a clear airbag light on, probably from the bonnet air bag!
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.
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.

Easy, no manual transmission in any V8 F-Type. Granted they are rare, but they are out there.
Yay. Glad there is a plan for the Aston
Now just James Maserati, Jeremy's RS4 from A Scandi Flick which Richard said at the Drivetribe show u might do something with, James's Caterham from A massive hunt which I think is currently with Caterham UK. Also are the Jaaaag and Skynet now Drivetribe project cars or owned by Jezza and Hammomd?
Another drivetribe car never to be finished
6:20 lot of sand in Mauritania, lot of space to lose yourself, many holes, buried deep, that pedestrian wont be talking
The shots of Mike's hand going up and down the shaft of Jeremy's intake as he compares it to Richard's though.. 😂

"Found" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there. Also "finally"
Restore to Grand Tour starting condition and slightly improve, safety wise, and some beautification and preservation.
Why would he leave it? This was one of few occasions that he had no mechanical issues and was able to go rallying with it. It proved just how reliable a modern jaguar is. I would have kept it as you feel proud of it for taking such a beating and still going strong.
Glad i’m not the only one who prefers the v6
I think this car deserves a proper Jag toolkit, and a more cozy and soft trunk, so that borrowed oil paintings will not be damaged on this bare metal
Go full rally mode, obviously!
I would love to see more backstory to the GT car builds. Personally, I’d keep the Jag as is and just make it driveable and able to pass inspection. I was surprised how well the Jag did on that episode.
Personally, id keep the fender flares, skid plate and the hood scoop but ditch the lights. Refine it all a bit and touch up the paint and some body touch up.
GREAT now ive got to go rewatch that ep of GT
Best of luck with the repairs .
Grand tour cars should by default go to drivetribe next
Coolant leak will defo be the pipe under the supercharger the plastic one splits.
Currently on my 2nd Jaguar (F-Type) and would love to see it in the flesh
I Hope U guys restore the Aston Martin, it’s basically the same car richard revived on top gear series 6 ep. 3 way back in 2005!!! Nostalgia is so wonderful sometimes ❤️⚙️💯
1:31 "There's even more holes in the back" - Mike Fernie.
jeremy unleashed a trend any two door convertible with a supercharger- fun. no need of turbos
The JAAAAG
He's had that Anaheim Ducks hat for a bunch of episodes now and imma go and say that he must be a big fan...
Ripples on the water from the great car show :)
Was following it through Hereford Mac Donald’s a couple of weeks ago
I would say that the production company bought a damaged F-Type looking at the pedestrian airbag its clearly just been cut and the bonnet is intact. With that many holes cut into the bonnet if that had gone off during filming the bonnet would most likely just smashed into peices.
100% need to get james car back
take back to stock and see if it was possible to modify the block to lose the blocked off cylinders
Do you know what happened to May's panda 4×4 from Colombia? I very much want that Car
You really missed an opportunity during this episode Mike. You should have included the Amazon links to all the knock off parts used on the car.
A shame that we don't get to see James' Maserati, that one was clearly the best (looking) car.

It’s gotta be rescued one day, considering it’s the worlds first Maserati purely modified for off road
Do these have an aluminium shell? How exactly do you repair an aluminium sill that you've cut with a hacksaw to MoT standards?
Now all that's left is James May's Maserati🎉❤
The grand tour loves to do things on a budget.
These would get soo much more views and be better to watch if they actually got clarkson and James on when ever they were getting cars they used on the grand tour
I'd tidy it up a bit, but keep it in the same spirit
I do love an F-type
They didn't even bother to use stainless rivnuts. Sadly 99% of garages in the UK build and modify the cars like this. Look "okayish" on collection, 6 months down the line it all wears away.
Keep on up on smallcoge
"Finally" 😂😂
using wood screws instead of rivets is insane xD
Should bring James one back also
Take it trail rallying
I want to ask out of pure curiosity why Jeremy chose the F-type and not the XKR, considering the general theme of the special was 2 door, 4 seater convertible GT cars?
JAAAAG
Completely forgot about that gt special, that just don’t hit like the old days
"bolted on" is being generous
Thank goodness. I don't know why one would choose to save the Aston over this, so the world feels right again.
id love to see you go down to his farm and ask him about it
Do I see a possible hire for Top Gear or preferably the Grand Tour?! I freakin do!
"Finally Been Found!" its from the latest grand tour show. was the motor even cooled from when Jeremy parked it? cool to see it didn't disappear though
LS, Whipple and a lift kit. It needs 300 more hp to get those wheels turning, and 4" more ground clearance to get around trails. Getting it back on tarmac is absolutely pointless.

hey hey hey.. let's not throw stones. 🤣
Full Restomod
If that Jaguar had been modified in the way it has - i.e. All-Terrain tyres, lift kit, strengthen the body, move the air intake higher for better wading depth, etc. - by a proper workshop to the build quality of the original Jaguar it would be a lot of fun, but I’d loose the silly lights. Maybe a simple LED bar across the front…
Wow. A Jaaaaaaaaag from way back in the days when Jaguar/Land Rover actually made cars.
theres thousands of normal F-Types arround but only one of them
The Air Bags push the bonnet upwards to help the person clear the car not to cushion the impact, most victims die from contacting their head with the windscreen or windscreen frame and also by being launched by the windscreen way into the air and smacking their head on the ground.
Let's not get bogged down on how many holes are in this Jag :p
I thought Clarkson did all the mods.😂
it cant be that shoddy it survived being Clarksoned
V8 f-type is the only one to get. The weight difference is negligible as they basically use the same block
Leave as is. Keep the sand too. Just fix the leaks. Be a show stopper wherever you go.
I would literally buy a small vile of the sand that comes off that car.
How many holes are on this Jag you ask... ALL of the holes!
Personally just re do all the bad bits properly and update some of the off road components and do some rally tours
I think you should keep the same look, but take the time to make it look like it was done factory.
That Bentley is still the best.
MFB 2.0 The MFF-Type.
I thought from Clarkson's comments on the grand tour, he would want to have it back
As a Red blooded American who self identifies as a red neck i get a knee slapping laugh at those massive tires 😂
Go on, mate.. 😅
