I think he mentioned in interviews a few times that he had to fake the BBC regional accent, and then as the years went past during his time on Top Gear he gave up and talked like himself again.

As we can see here, Clarkson's love for the great Morris Marina goes back a long, long way.

Went to one of these 25yrs ago in Nottingham while staying a couple months in Britain and I gotta say I had an absolutely wonderful time. We've got good ones at Carlisle and the like here in Pennsylvania but the atmosphere and the kindness of the people at that one was amazing. Good fun that was and an unlikely highlight to my trip :)

Yes, Jeremy Clarkson was born in 1960. He is 61 years old as of 2021 and was 28 years old in 1988. Clarkson always looked much older than he is and I'd say at least 15-20 years older.

On a side note series 23 of Top Gear carried on the multiple presenter format of the 1977-2001 or Top Gear Jeremy Clarkson first era from 1988-2000/2001
