Default Jeremy Clarkson Sells his CLK 63 AMG Black Series

For a lover of all things auto, there is a distinct level of sadness that comes from selling-off a prized car. As Jeremy Clarkson’s Twitter would suggest, he has once again reacquainted himself with the feeling.

Clarkson recently tweeted that he sold his coveted 2008 Mercedes-Benz CLK 63 AMG Black Series. As many Top Gear fans will remember, Jeremy Clarkson blasted a CLK 63 through the Black Mountains of Wales in a rather memorable test drive segment. Richard Hammond was hilariously less comforting of Clarkson on Twitter though, writing “it’ll be a sadder day for the poor bugger who bought it.”

Well, one would think that, with all the money he has made over the years from TV and magazines, he would still have a healthy bank-account or portfolio, even after being fired from Top Gear. But, who knows?.........maybe he had to pawn off the Merc to raise some cash.

Let's see if he drives around now in a Hyundai Accent.

Never heard of emercedesbenz.com. After poking around it reminds me of lexusdrivers.com. Both are informative and offer insights and tools for owners and their lifestyles

Does he still have his CL600 (bought in a challenge with Hammond) and his SL55 AMG?
