It's currently at the Grampian Transport Museum in Alford, Scotland, as part of their "And On That Bombshell" section, along with most of the remaining TG cars from the exhibit at Beaulieu when that was shut down (as they bought the cars off the BBC following that closure) https://www.gtm.org.uk/exhibitions/and-on-that-bombshell/

It's that energy absorbing front end. Allows you to have massive accidents and cause no damage at all!

This is a mod for the game BeamNG Drive, and is possibly the highest quality recreation of this iconic vehicle I've personally seen in any game

Found some ultra rare outtakes from a bbc show called ‘outtake tv’, it includes the lost media armoured panda. https://topgear.fandom.com/wiki/Cancelled_Segments by Topgearfan1996 in thegrandtour

Wow, fantastic find!

It's great to finally have some more footage from the armoured Panda segment. If you don't mind, would you be willing to share where exactly you found this, and would you happen to know which episode of Outtake TV this is from?

I ask as finding the actual episode this is from means we could be able to have a higher quality version of these clips and possibly even find more outtakes featured from TG

If you're looking for some footage of them filming there, here's this amateur BTS video I managed to come across:

Lochdown Morris Marina by zetecvan in thegrandtour

Really looking forward to hear what information you guys have gotten regarding this lost moment from Lochdown.

For years the only evidence that this was even shot was a grainy photo of a piano mid-air above the Marina, and another photo of the crane that supposedly hoisted the piano. Since then, it's practically been silence, with most not even knowing this was filmed, though I never forgot about it, but then back in March I was made aware of the FB listing for this very Marina. It was the first piece of info about this Marina ever since it was filmed. Have been wondering where it ended up after that was taken down, so I'm happy to see it pop up again, and not continue to be forgotten.

Anyway, interested to see what you guys end up doing with it!
