VIDEO: Jeremy Clarkson takes an off-road Mercedes through a quiet home counties town

Top Gear fans have missed the sight of Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May getting up to their usual antics.

The trio have a new show in the works on Amazon Prime, and diehard Clarkson supporters are more excited about that than they are about the new-look Top Gear – despite Matt LeBlanc joining the latter.

And this new clip from SWNS TV gives an indication of the brash approach which has won the petrolheads fans and enemies in near-equal measure.

Clarkson, Hammond and May can be seen driving through the quiet Surrey town of Cobham, but you know them well enough to guess there’s more to the story than that.

Rather than just taking any old car to the streets, they’ve come equipped with an off-road Mercedes which can only be described as “f**k-off huge”.

“Are you filming this car because it’s excellent?” Clarkson can be heard asking the cameraman, before the trio go on their merry way.

Some things never change.
