In their last ever Grand Tour adventure, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May ignore Mr Wilman’s instruction to drive EVs down a grey British motorway and go rogue, heading to Zimbabwe in three glorious cars they’ve always wanted to own; a 1982 Lancia Montecarlo, a 1974 Ford Capri 3-litre and a 1974 Triumph Stag. There, they embark on a classic road trip through some of the most stunning landscapes they’ve ever encountered, winding through lush mountains, spearing across dry planes, cruising down beautiful boulevards, breezing past elephants and giraffes, and taking their chances crossing a crocodile-infested lake on three unusual car-carrying boats. Despite their best efforts to make this last outing a relaxing and agreeable meander between extremely pleasant hotels, the three can’t avoid some typical road trip challenges, starting with the need to take care of the terrible back-up car dispatched at short notice by a disgruntled Mr Wilman. Beyond that, their patience is tested by brutally rough terrain, mechanically misbehaving cars, moments of map reading incompetence and the terrifying prospect of crashing, drowning or breaking a nail on the complicated retractable roof of Jeremy’s Lancia. As if that wasn’t enough to get their ageing hearts racing, a brush with unsmiling customs officers also makes them regret the decision to enhance their cars with locally-mined, bargain-priced silver. After arriving at the fabulous Victoria Falls, the trio decide to dodge some car-breaking local roads with an ingenious detour down a railway line and soon find themselves on familiar ground, crossing the border into Botswana. Here they encounter two dear friends from a former life and decide, just for old time’s sake, to visit their favourite location from 20 years of travelling the world, where they say an emotional farewell to their lives together on The Grand Tour.
