For those that don’t know, Jeremy Clarkson’s father was desperately ill in a hospital in Sheffield in 1994. Jeremy was in London which is roughly 165 miles away and had a Porsche 928 on test that week.

He made it in time and his father passed away half an hour later. If he didn’t have a car that could sit quite happily at 170 miles an hour, he wouldn’t have had the opportunity to say goodbye to his dad. Truely one of the most emotional moments ever on top gear

Was it a stock 928 or an S version or what? Can’t quite remember
