JC’s Starion hits eBay

Looking for a reliable family runabout, one careful owner?

Then steer clear of this Mitsubishi Starion up for sale on eBay. Yes, it's the very Starion driven and modified by our very own Jezza in the classic ‘Cheap Coupes That Aren't Porsches' Challenge way back in our sixth series, and it's yours for, er, some money.

The owner - who sold the car to Top Gear for the challenge and then, inexplicably, bought it back again afterwards - says the Starion boasts, well, it was on Top Gear...

Though restored to road-going condition after its battering in the hands of the Stig, the Starion still features the ‘Clitheroe Carpets' livery, unique aerodynamic rear deck and the signature of Lieutenant Clarkson himself.

So if you want some bona fide Top Gear history on your driveway, we really can't recommend the Starion. Sorry.
