This collection of lavishly tooled stamps commemorates some of the bravest and most innovative transport solutions created by Clarkson, Hammond and May in the course of Top Gear's most fiendish challenges.  So most of these cars didn't actually work very well. Some of them caught fire or sank, occasionally simultaneously.
