XJ12 596 TVG12

World of Top Gear at the National Motor Museum, Beaulieu, is a unique exhibition of vehicles from every era of the hit television show. The TGV12 was motoring journalist Jeremy Clarkson’s car-based train that was featured in Series 17. It was made from a Jaguar XJS.

 

‘XJ12 596’ is the actual TGV12 ‘sports train’ driven by Clarkson during Top Gear’s valiant attempt to reduce the cost of railway travel using innovative car-based rolling stock. The ‘locomotive’ is little more than an old Jaguar convertible with some different wheels on it.
