Richard Hammond is selling another car!

Watch Richard Hammond's new discovery+ show here: bit.ly/HammondWorkshop-SV5-YT
After working tirelessly to get an Escort RS2000 pristine and ready, Richard Hammond ventured to the Concours D'Elegance at Hampton Court Palace to see if the Ford was up to scratch. While he was there, he also took a walk around the event to see the cars he'd be competing against, including a stunning Pagani Zonda.

Commander Philip Heseltine is mentioned in Peter Swinger's book 'Motor Racing Circuits in England' On Snetterton circuit it mentions that Commander Heseltine was a stalwart of the club, and one evening in the early 1960's he arrived with his wife Biddy at the clubhouse to find that Jim Russell had just completed a 24-hour reliability trial in a Vauxhall. During the evening Commander Heseltine asked Jim Russell if he would like a cup to commemorate the feat. The offer was accepted and a tradition developed whereby the record established by Jim Russell's Vauxhall was challenged in later years. There was only one basic rule to challenge for the Commander's Cup which was that the vehicle used had to be an unmodified production saloon; the rule was later changed to allow any production car to make the challenge.
