The Kia Cee’d used on Top Gear’s ‘Star in a Reasonably-Priced Car’ segment between 2010 and 2013 has been listed on AutoTrader for £4,500.
Having been driven around the Top Gear track by more than 40 celebrities during its time on the programme, it’s not the kind of car we’d ordinarily recommend buying. Its former drivers include Rowan Atkinson, Tom Cruise, Cameron Diaz, Rupert Grint and Michael Fassbender, not to mention The Stig himself.
The ‘Cee-apostrophe-D’ has 7,200 miles on the clock, around 4,000 of which have been since it left the Top Gear track and went into private ownership. Safety modifications include a full roll cage (which prevents the rear seats from being used) and racing harnesses, as well as Corbeau bucket seats.
Underneath, it’s still a 1.6-litre petrol Kia with eight months MOT. We can’t think of a better-value piece of automotive history.
