THE SUVs which featured in the extended last episode of series 22 of the BBC’s Top Gear are now on display to the public in Hampshire.

The trio of vehicles are now on show at Beaulieu’s World of Top Gear.

In the second half of the programme, presenters Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May tried to become lifestyle leisure enthusiasts with the help of some incredibly cheap 4x4s.

Restricted to a maximum budget of £250, the trio bought three massive mileage SUVs and then embarked on a series of action-packed challenges that included battling with the Stig’s Leisure Activity Cousin.

Jeremy’s 4x4 of choice was a Vauxhall Frontera, extensively modified to a unique ‘lifestyle’ brief and boasting many features inspired by upmarket deep sea fishing boats, such as the white paintwork and extra aerials.

Aside from that, the car remains completely standard – except that half of it is missing. Richard’s Jeep Cherokee features a classic 4-litre straight six engine, a selectable four-wheel-drive system and various dings caused by caravans.

James favoured a Mitsubishi Shogun Pinin which he drove – unintentionally – into a large, water-filled trench. May’s revamped colour scheme was inspired by wetsuits of the 1980s.

The SUVs join a whole host of vehicles at Beaulieu created by the Top Gear presenters for some of their most ambitious challenges.

Beaulieu’s Enormodrome recreates the feel of the Top Gear studio with regular features from the programme including the Cool Wall.

Visitors can also watch behind-the-scenes footage of the Top Gear production zone and clips from some of the best Top Gear moments.
