The television personality has disclosed the items he intends to bequeath to his former co-stars following his death.
The broadcaster collaborated with both men during his tenure on the BBC’s Top Gear programme and subsequently on Prime Video’s The Grand Tour, forming a presenting partnership spanning more than twenty years.
Since approximately 2008, the presenter has resided in Oxfordshire, where he operates Diddly Squat Farm in Chadlington alongside The Farmer’s Dog establishment located in Asthall, in proximity to Burford.
He has gained additional prominence through Clarkson’s Farm, an Amazon Prime series documenting his management of the 1,000-acre agricultural property.
The presenter has consistently championed the British farming sector, frequently drawing attention to the challenges confronting the industry.
Furthermore, in late 2024, he participated in a London demonstration opposing a newly introduced 20 percent inheritance tax on agricultural holdings exceeding £1 million in value, effective from April 2026.
With the taxation measure now implemented this month, the presenter shared his estate planning considerations in his most recent Sunday Times column.
While detailing forthright preferences regarding his funeral arrangements, burial instructions, and testamentary dispositions, the broadcaster addressed the legacies he wishes to leave his television collaborators.
Regarding Mr May, the Clarkson’s Farm performer specified he would bequeath a bovine creature, noting that any gift must constitute something the recipient would find bothersome.
For Mr Hammond, the 65-year-old presenter indicated he would leave behind the entirety of his trousers collection, according to the Express.
The presenter further stated his intention to allocate twenty pence to certain companions in his will to ensure they recognise he had not overlooked them.
