Famously used in 2005 for the 'car football' matches on BBC's Top Gear
Still in the same condition as when used and retains the original blue and white striped wrap and relevant battle damage from having been used as this
A moment many will remember on the nation's television sets is when BBC's Top Gear (at that time presented by Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond) set about a new form of motorsport that didn't really catch on as much as we all thought it would despite its extremely entertaining qualities - Car Football. In 2005, the release of the new Toyota Aygo offered the perfect opportunity to demonstrate Richard Hammond's theory that a city car should be "quick, light on its "feet", good at changing direction, and be able to dart in and out of traffic." The Aygo was initially on both sides of the pitch and then the second time round the team of five was pitched against its major competitor, the Volkswagen Fox, with some of Britain's current crop of Touring Car Championship drivers including Matt Neal, Tom Chilton, Tim Harvey and Robert Huff at the wheel. Unfortunately, the Aygos lost against the VW Fox, but that didn't stop the Aygo from becoming Top Gear's 2005 car of the year!
Very good driver
