Richard Hammond

1 I've wanted an E-type ever since I first sat in one at a Birmingham car dealership as a child. My car is a 1962 roadster sold new by the Jaguar racer and dealer Peter Lindner and I wouldn't change a thing. I tell myself that if everything goes wrong, then at least I'll still have an E-type.

2 I was wearing this Rolex Sea-Dweller when I infamously crashed the Rimac during a hillclimb. We went end-over-end and my hand was trapped under the seatbelt, so I had to ditch the watch. The car was burning for days with thermal runaway (Rimac has now fixed this, note!) so the watch burned, too. Rimac later presented it back to me in a display case.
