This set of six Top Gear stamps features a selection of the most bizarre and ingenious automotive challenges featured on the most popular motoring programme on British television.

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. OK, so most of these cars didn’t actually work very well. Some of them caught fire or sank, occasionally simultaneously. But they all demonstrate the very things that make Britain the finest nation on Earth: inventiveness, hard work and a healthy disregard for maths or accurate measurement.

CTO refers to 'Cancelled To Order'- postmarked with the date of issue.
