Alfa Romeo GTV6 and Lincoln Continental Mark V
Another of Clarkson's cars is the 1983 Alfa Romeo GTV6, which was featured in the episode 'Well Aged Scotch.' This car has a V6 engine and beautiful design that evokes memories of his travels along the northern shores of Scotland. Clarkson is also auctioning the 1978 Lincoln Continental Mark V, which he selected as a special car in the episode 'Lochdown.' This vehicle, with unique modifications such as nitrogen injection into the engine, has provided an interesting experience for viewers.
