Former Top Gear car-football Suzuki Swifts up for sale

Nine pieces of Top Gear history are up for sale in the UK, with a handful of Suzuki Swifts driven by the famous trio finding their way online.

Listed on eBay, the seller claims the nine Swifts were used for games of car-football during the run of Top Gear Live stadium shows in early 2014 and 2015, just before an incident between Jeremy Clarkson and a producer saw the host fired – ending the Clarkson/Richard Hammond/James May era.

While the cars in the 2014 show were dressed up to represent England and Scotland, in 2015 the opposition changed to Argentina – referencing Top Gear's recent stoush with the South American country in its Patagonia Special, which resulted in the production team being attacked.

As is expected, the Swifts are in various states of disrepair, although between them there are probably enough panels to make one pristine example.

With four days left to bid, the highest offer currently stands at AU$1600 – but it's important to note this is for ALL of the cars, with transport costs to move them likely adding a few extra hundred dollars to the sale price.

Car-football was a consistent schtick in Top Gear's catalogue, first executed in the opening show of series six with Toyota Aygos, followed by the Aygos up against the Volkswagen Fox in series eight, episode five.

When the Top Gear Live show came to Sydney in 2013, Clarkson and May were pitted against local hosts Steve Pizzati and Shane Jacobson in Reliant Robins, entertaining a packed crowd at Sydney Motorsport Park.
