Jeremy Clarkson is set to build his own car using produce harvested from his Diddly Squat Farm in a one-off Prime Video special.

The 66-year-old presenter, who currently documents his efforts to run a farm in the Cotswolds, will return to his motoring roots for a standalone pisode titled Jeremy Grows A Car: A Clarkson’s Farm Special.

“Frustrated by modern motoring’s endless beeps, bongs and nanny-state technology, Jeremy has decided that if he wants a “new” car, he won’t buy one – he’ll build one,” Prime announced.

In the programme, Clarkson will attempt to recreate a Jaguar F-Type V6S, focusing on ensuring the design delivers three crucial attributes: style, luxury and performance.

Alongside incorporating Diddly leather for the interior and wool carpets, he will try to grow a crop of flax fibre and process it into a flax-composite – a sustainable alternative to traditional carbon fibre.

Clarkson has also recruited car designer Ian Callum, founder of design and engineering firm CALLUM and the man who created both the original F-Type and the Aston Martin Vanquish, to assist him with the ambitious project.

The new show will air in 2027.

It comes after Clarkson revealed earlier this year, during an episode of Clarkson’s Farm, that he had been diagnosed with "aggressive" prostate cancer, which was discovered at an early stage.

He later said a PSA test in April showed no indication of cancer and he is in remission.

Clarkson began presenting Top Gear in 1988 and later fronted the BBC revival series in 2002 alongside Richard Hammond and James May.

The trio later presented Prime Video’s motoring series The Grand Tour which launched in 2016.

His current show, Clarkson’s Farm, also on Prime Video, documents the goings on at the presenter’s 1,000-acre farm in West Oxfordshire and picked up the reality docuseries prize at the National Television Awards in September.

Last week, he admitted the Clarkson’s Farm crew are worried about their salaries.

“We’ve wrapped season six yesterday of Clarkson’s Farm. We need to get bigger, better, fewer, all the rest of it,” he said.

“So there’s 35, 40, people on that crew who are now sitting at home thinking, ‘how are we going to pay our mortgage?’”

He added: “I know a huge amount of producers that I’ve worked with over the years, really, really clever people, decent, sensible, hard-working people, who cannot find work in the industry.”
