Inside BBC presenter James May’s jaw-dropping car collection, including a Rolls Royce and Bentley
BBC presenter James May’s jaw-dropping collection, including a Rolls Royce and Bentley, has been revealed.
The Television star is well-known for presenting the popular BBC car show Top Gear – and, more recently, The Grand Tour and Our Man in Italy.
Although his fellow co-presenters Richard Hammond and Jeremy Clarkson refer to him as Captain Slow, James enjoys driving fast cars.
And he’s also a fan of modern cars due to his interest in future technologies, especially electric and hydrogen cars.
Here, we have broken up his eye-watering car collection.
Bentley T2
This car is well-known as the one James May reviewed on Top Gear during his first appearance.
The Bentley T2 was produced from 1977 to 1980 – and only 558 were made.
Now, in 2022, there are just 15 Bentley T2s with an MOT on UK Roads.
But he sold this supercar in 2007 with 80,0000 miles on the clock.
BMW i3
The BMW i3 was manufactured from 2013 to 2022, and it was BMW’s first mass-produced zero-emissions vehicle.
According to GT Junkies, this car cost him £35,000 because he got £5,000 from the government to buy this EV.
The BMW i3 is fully electric and gets to 30mph extremely quickly.
Tesla Model S 100D
James bought a Tesla Model S 100 to learn more about electric cars.
He told fans at the time: “I don’t know what the future of the car is, but I do believe one way or another they’re going to be powered by electric motors.”
The Model S 100D accelerates from 0-60 mph in 4.2 seconds.
Ferrari 458 Italia
The Ferrari 458 Italia has garnered over 30 international awards in its career.
This supercar can reach 62mph in just 3.4 seconds, and its top speed is over 202mph.
And the prices for a second-hand Ferrari Italia currently range from £165,00 to £250,000.
Rolls Royce Corniche
Celebrities like Elton John and Sir Paul McCartney owned a Rolls Royce Corniche.
This car is a two-door, front-engine, rear-wheel drive luxury car produced by Rolls-Royce Motors as a hardtop coupé from 1971 to 1980.
The Rolls Royce Corniche has a top speed of 135mph and a 0-60mph acceleration time of eight seconds.
This comes after the OnlyFans star flaunted an incredible car collection, including a dazzling £180,000 Porsche.
