The Grand Tour ends in Zim

Zim Now Reporter

Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May are set to end their joint on camera motoring careers with their Zimbabwean escapade.

The trio has just released a trailer of their final episode, an adventure across Zimbabwe in classics that surely have all the scars to show for their long lives.

The featured vehicles are a Ford Capri, Triumph Stag and Lancia Montecarlo.

The Zim episode will debut on Amazon Prime on Friday, September 13.

The TV presenters who have entertained motoring fans with typical British dry wit and school boy pranks filmed in Zimbabwe in late 2023.

At the time the trio said that they loved Zimbabwe and had enjoyed their time in the country, but really wished for better roads.

They should be happy to know that some of the country’s major highways have been upgraded although the Bulawayo- Victoria Falls and the Harare-Kariba roads are still a right pain in the rear to navigate.

Speaking to About Amazon, about the finale, after eight years of the Grand Finale show, Jeremy Clarkson said emotions were not high for some:

“I'm not saying this in a derogatory way by any means, but James has the emotions of a stone. He just doesn't do emotions, so there were no tears from him.”

“I was surprisingly unemotional in a weird way because I can see James and Hammond any time I want to, they’re only a phone call away, and I’m sure we will. And I’ve done enough of the travel, I was worn out by it.”

But Hammond said the final episode was very emotional for the entire filming crew.

“We've worked together for decades and we've been through good times and bad. We've seen each other in jungles covered in leeches, exhausted and grumpy in tents and boiling heat, elated in the most beautiful cities in the world. We’re a great big dysfunctional family, so there were a lot of tears.”
