New Top Gear Has Been Spied Shooting Ford Mustangs And Reliant Robins
Top Gear recently announced its six-strong presenter lineup, and since then the big question has been how exactly they’d all fit into one show. Well, filming has just begun, and it gives us a good idea of what to expect when the BBC show returns.
First up is the amateur footage captured from a drone, above. A passerby stumbled upon Rory Reid shooting a brand new yellow Mustang, as well as what appears to be a 1967 Mustang in white. The shoot is taking place in Scotland, crossing the beautifully picturesque Kylesku Bridge.
With Reid up north, Matt LeBlanc and Chris Evans have been filmed leaving BBC Broadcasting House in London in a pair of modified Reliant Robins. The cars have been ghetto-converted into convertibles, and sprayed in the pair’s home colours, namely a Union Flag for Evans, and a Star Spangled Banner for LeBlanc.
If we look at this footage as representative of what to expect from the show, it would appear Evans and LeBlanc will be shooting the kind of silly films TG became well known for with Clarkson, Hammond and May, while the rest will film smaller individual pieces to be thrown into the mix. It’ll be interesting to see if any of the other presenters are called upon to join the main two, either in pre-recorded films or in the studio. Watching this play out will be very interesting indeed.

Don’t know about you lot, but I’m actually really looking forward to this
BBC logic “so Evans threw up in an R8, lets put him in a reliant!”
Well, this time he drives.
Maybe he’s just not Sabine Schmitz-proof.
I’ll be honest I am really quite excited to see Rory and Chris Harris on TV, I hope the best for them and that the non petrol heads will like them as much as we do.
“Convertible Reliant Robins”
I did not know this was a thing.
Also, please don’t give one to Jeremy Clarkson… We don’t want him to die yet
They made them after that video Clarkson made.
This way you can jump out before you get motion-sick and ruin the interior.
We don’t want him to die yet? We don’t him to die ever!
Whenever I see a post about Top Gear I automatically think of Jezza and the others and then get disappointed lol.
Time to stop that xD
Its fake! The reliant robins didn’t flip!
“A gadget enthusiast with a drone”
From the looks of it, that was a BBC employee with a drone, shooting a teaser/commercial for the new series.
Hopefully by “shooting reliant Robins”, that means with a kalashnikov right?
They were in Cannock with the Reliants, my mate bumped into them and met Matt.
Reliant Robins? Oh how original….
Exactly my thoughts. Why not try to get the general public interest (since the car guys left coz original TG love) other than with a couple of reliant robins, just what made the 3rd most viewed video on the TG YouTube channel.
Sorry, it’s actually the 5th. Nope, the 7th. Come on, at least the 10th. Bugger. 11th. I feel like my argument is slightly invalid. It got 10 million views though….
