Top Gear's Toyota Aygo football car spotted for sale on eBay

Top Gear Toyota Aygo

How about this for a small piece of Top Gear TV history? Recently sold on eBay, the Toyota Aygo was used in the BBC show's five-a-side 'car football' matches.

Still sporting its blue and white livery, the 2005 Aygo was part of the winning team in the first televised football match. It then returned to play a game against a team of Volkswagen Foxes a year later. The car was subsequently used in Top Gear Live shows, too.

Look closely and you'll see the car has no windows or passenger seats, and is reinforced with a substantial roll cage. This is because it was a back-up vehicle during rival TV shows Fifth Gear sought to complete a loop-the-loop stunt in an Aygo.

A few football injuries

'The fuel tank was removed, probably when Fifth Gear had it,' stated the advert on eBay. The car also lacked a valid MOT, plus its owner did not have any documents, although he did possess a spare key.

Whether or not it can even be registered for the road use is another matter. Suffice to say it won't be the most suitable supermini for an occasional dash to the shops.

As you would expect for a car that has spent its life playing football, the ad stated: 'there is some body damage'. On the plus side, the Aygo has a very low mileage.

Sold to the highest bidder

The little Toyota has genuine on-screen pedigree, then. But it is also a near-20-year-old dented city car, which has spent its working life being thrashed, lacks a fuel tank and may not be road-legal.

“I genuinely have no idea how much this car is worth,” said the seller. Turns out the answer was £1,818 – the final price achieved after 27 bids when the eBay auction ended on Sunday night.
