Giant headstones of Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond have arrived in Sydney fuelling speculation that The Grand Tour presenters could be Australia-bound ….with confirmation that a full series launch is also due.
First seen leaving a boat at White Bay, the three eight foot tall stone statues were craned onto a freight truck bearing The Grand Tour logos, before beginning a tour of Sydney, raising speculation that a colossal statue could be erected somewhere in the country. Trucks containing other body parts including Jeremy, James and Richard’s arms, legs and even crotch have also been spotted.
The series has so far seen episodes filmed in the US, UK and South Africa with The Netherlands, Finland, Germany and Dubai to follow.
While the show has so far only been accessible streaming Amazon from the US, an official tweet will further speculation that Amazon could launch a full streaming service in Australia.

Merely a stopover on the way to Easter Island where they can lookout over the ocean and lure ships onto the rocks.
These headstones will undoubtably prove much liveiler, more intelligent and more entertaining than the people they represent. No need to “launch” this series in Australia, just mount these bits of concrete somewhere prominent (perhaps alongside Westconnex somewhere) so all those with similar taste can be entertained for free.
I don’t usually condone graffiti but these are crying out for a redecoration!
Just saw very short like 1or 2 second clips on their twitter account, they look similar to TopGear! Just wondering whether BBC will kick up a stink about how certain excerpts from The show could be very similar!
I thought the series was already launched here?
Maybe this does mean one show will be presented from Sydney in the coming weeks.
Given how they’ve been secured on the truck, I very much doubt that these are made of stone. Something much lighter.
Hmmm… large, but lightweight & fragile. Clarkson’s ego? 😉
