The former crew of Top Gear have been spotted filming their new TV show in a souped-up Mercedes with enormous off-road wheels.

Jeremy Clarkson, 55, was pictured driving the bizarre car up and down the high street of quiet Cobham, Surrey.

Footage shows the sacked BBC star slowing down to ask onlookers 'are you filming this car because it's excellent?'.

James May was filmed sitting next to him while Richard 'the hamster' Hammond could be seen in the back, berating him for the choice of car.

Stuart Cox, 51, headed out of the opticians where he works after he spotted cameramen filming the white retro car.

The optical technician said: 'I saw the car go past a few times so I went to be a bit nosey and see what was going on.

'I was quite shocked when I saw who it was behind the wheel.

'I was standing on the traffic island in the middle of the road and I really didn't expect him to stop, but he did.

'Jeremy asked me what I thought of the car and it sounded like he was trying to convince the other two about it.

'They didn't exactly look enamoured.

'It was brilliant to see. I'm a Top Gear fan so it made me smile.'

According to reports, the ex-Top Gear trio have signed with Amazon to produce three 12-episode seasons, each episode lasting around an hour.

The trio are currently filming their new Amazon Prime TV programme. Meanwhile Clarkson has officially apologised to producer Oisin Tymon, who launched the lawsuit against both Clarkson and the BBC after the presenter gave him a bloody lip

Clarkson tweeted a photo of a wrecked car from Barbados on Wednesday saying: 'Had a bit of an accident while filming today.'

But they were back filming in Surrey on Thursday afternoon, when they were spotted by Mr Cox.

The clip shows Clarkson pull up and Hammond asking him: 'What are you doing?'

Mr Cox then says: 'Hello Jeremy' and he answers: 'Are you filming this car because it's excellent?'

He replies: 'It's different' and Hammond adds, 'yes, different.'

Apparently unfazed, Clarkson replies: 'He means brilliant'.

Meanwhile Clarkson has officially apologised to producer Oisin Tymon, who launched the lawsuit against both Clarkson and the BBC after the presenter gave him a bloody lip in a fight which led to him being sacked from the motoring show.

Clarkson flew into a rage after being told he could not order a sirloin steak after a day of filming in March last year, calling Mr Tymon a 'lazy, Irish ****' during a confrontation at a hotel in North Yorkshire.

It has since emerged that the presenter and his former employers have agreed to pay out more than £100,000 to the producer, following his claim for personal injury and racial discrimination.

The move will allow the BBC the dodge the embarrassment of a full tribunal hearing.

It was also recently revealed that the new BBC series of Top Gear could soon be available to watch on Netflix as the streaming service considers a head-to-head battle with rival Amazon Prime which will air Clarkson's new show.

The motoring show, which is currently filming, will be presented by BBC veteran Chris Evans, former Friends actor Matt LeBlanc and will feature The Stig, Formula 1 commentator Eddie Jordan, German racing driver Sabine Schmitz, motoring journalist Chris Harris and car reviewer Rory Reid.

However the eight-episode series, which was supposed to premier on May 8, has reportedly been delayed and will be shorter due to delays affecting the filming schedule
