Jeremy Clarkson Is Turning a Jaguar F-Type Into a Farm-Grown Car

Jeremy Clarkson has never treated Diddly Squat Farm as a quiet rural retreat, and his next project may be the strangest yet.

Jeremy Grows a Car: A Clarkson’s Farm Special will see Clarkson attempt to transform a Jaguar F-Type V6S using materials produced on his Oxfordshire farm, bringing together British sports car design, agricultural stubbornness and a very Clarkson sort of practicality test.

At a glance

A Jaguar F-Type gets the Diddly Squat treatment

The starting point is a Jaguar F-Type V6S, a car already known for its compact proportions, muscular styling and characterful six-cylinder soundtrack.

Clarkson’s plan is not simply to dress it up with rural trim, but to explore how far farm-derived materials can be pushed inside and around a modern performance car.

The interior will receive leather upholstery and wool carpets produced through the farm, making the cabin a showcase for materials with a direct agricultural link.

It’s a deliberately eccentric idea, but it also touches on a serious conversation in the car industry around traceability, sustainability and alternatives to conventional synthetic materials.

Flax composite replaces the usual carbon-fibre script

The most technically interesting part of the special is Clarkson’s plan to grow flax and turn it into a composite material for the F-Type.

That composite is intended to stand in for carbon fibre in certain car parts, giving the project a more experimental edge than a simple styling exercise.

Flax-based composites have attracted attention in performance and motorsport circles because they can offer a lighter, more natural alternative for selected applications, though the finished result depends heavily on engineering and execution.

For a programme built around farming, machinery and Clarkson’s appetite for difficult ideas, the material experiment feels neatly on-brand.

Ian Callum returns to a shape he helped define

Clarkson won’t be approaching the F-Type alone.

Ian Callum, the designer behind the original Jaguar F-Type and Aston Martin Vanquish, is involved in the project, adding a serious automotive design pedigree to the special.

Callum’s presence matters because the F-Type is one of the most recognisable Jaguar designs of the modern era, and any substantial reworking of its materials or detailing risks upsetting a carefully judged shape.

With Callum involved, the project has a better chance of becoming more than a novelty build.

Release timing and what to expect

Prime Video has confirmed Jeremy Grows a Car: A Clarkson’s Farm Special for 2027.

An exact premiere date has not yet been announced.

The format is being positioned as a standalone special rather than a regular episode, which should give the project room to follow the full arc from farm production to finished car.

It should appeal to Clarkson’s Farm viewers, Jaguar fans and anyone interested in the more eccentric edge of sustainable automotive materials.

Details & Specifications

Whether the finished F-Type becomes a genuine material case study or simply one of Clarkson’s more memorable mechanical adventures, the idea is sharp enough to stand out in both car and television circles.
