An amphibious all-terrain vehicle previously driven by Jeremy Clarkson is set to be sold at auction.
An amphibious all terrain vehicle which was once owned by Jeremy Clarkson, a journalist and best known for hosting Top Gear, will go under the hammer in Cambridge on April 22.
The 2005 Argo Avenger 8x8 was bought new by Mr Clarkson and was later sold in 2010, according to the auctioneers Cheffins.

The auctioneers hope that due to Mr Clarkson’s popularity from the Amazon Prime series ‘Clarkson’s Farm’ the vehicle, which is estimated to fetch between £2,000 and £4,000, could attract even higher bids from potential buyers.
The utility task vehicle which is designed for off-roading never lived at Diddly Squat Farm.
It is designed to haul heavy loads and to carry additional passengers.

Associate at Cheffins, Tom Godsmark, said: “UTVs are all-round good fun, but this one with its previous life of having been owned by one of TV’s most popular personalities certainly gives it a whole new level of desirability.
“A true boy’s toy, the Argo Avenger is one of the most iconic amphibious vehicles on the market, and we expect this to do well at our sale.
“Unfortunately this UTV never lived at Diddly Squat Farm; however, Mr Clarkson has an army of fans out there, and, with the recent release of the latest season of Clarkson’s Farm, I am confident this will appeal to a number of buyers.”

A machinery dealer based in Oxfordshire is selling the vehicle and is part of the Cheffins Cambridge Vintage Sale.
