GRAND Tour star Jeremy Clarkson has added a new British motor to his stunning collection after the show's latest special.
The Sun columnist was so impressed by the car he used in his travels across Africa with co-stars James May and Richard Hammond that he "bought one immediately" when they returned to the UK.
The new special, set to air on Amazon Prime on February 16, sees the trio trek across the West African nation of Mauritania following a portion of the route of the original Paris-Dakar Rally.
However, rather than the custom-built machines used by rally racers, Clarkson, Hammond and May are forced to make the 1,200-mile trip in modified sports cars.
To tackle the monumental task, Jeremy opted for a supercharged Jaguar F-Type V6, spotted in the new trailer for the show, while May plumped for a Maserati GranCabrio and Hammond chose an Aston Martin DB9 Volante

Viewers of the upcoming special will see the kitted-out sportster carry the former Top Gear presenter across the vast Sahara Desert, but now it can be spotted roaming the Oxfordshire countryside.
That's because Clarkson brought it home from Africa and now keeps it on his Diddly Squat Farm in Chadlington, near Chipping Norton.
Not only that, but he also bought an unmodified version of the same car to add to his stable.
According to a piece he wrote in The Times, a used F-Type from 2013 is worth around £25,000, but it is not known how much his cost.
On his return from Africa, Clarkson said that he "cannot lavish enough praise".
He added: "Well put it like this: it was so impressive, I came home and bought one immediately.
"I brought back the one I drove in Mauritania too, I have it at the farm."
And speaking on the new special, he went on: "It’s my favourite one we’ve ever done.
"I've always thought we'd never go anywhere better than Botswana, and now we have."
It comes after the presenting trio shockingly announced that they would leave the Grand Tour after the current run of specials, making the Mauritania trip, which has been dubbed Sand Job, their penultimate adventure.

Bosses at Amazon are understood to be considering continuing the show, potentially under a different format, and this is something the current hosts are said to be comfortable with.
They will each continue with their separate projects in the form of the Clarkson's Farm and May's Our Man In... series for Amazon, as well as Hammond's Smallest Cog restoration garage which itself features on a Discovery Plus show.
However, James May did hint at potential future collaborations back in January when he gave his verdict on the prospect of the trio filming together again.
