He said he was warned by friends that the former Top Gear presenter, 64, was "not a nice person" - but he found the total opposite. Iain, from Southampton, described Sun columnist Clarkson as a "total gentleman" and he even signed his Cortina poster. The motorhead has owned his car for 13 years - having paid around £25,000.
It is now worth an estimated £60,000. WHO IS JEREMY CLARKSON? Jeremy Clarkson is a TV presenter and writer.
