Top Gear’s ‘Reasonably Priced Car’ for sale on Auto Trader
If you fancy getting your hands on a car with some real history – and the TV footage to prove it – then this Cee'd could be right up your street.
- Kia Cee’d was used on TV between 2010 and 2013
- Still fitted with its bucket seats, race harnesses and roll cage
- On sale from a private seller for £4,500
The famous ‘Reasonably Priced Car’ from the popular Top Gear TV segment is for sale on Auto Trader – and naturally, the Kia Cee’d is being offered for a reasonable price.
Boasting plenty of celebrity drivers, this Kia Cee’d was used by Top Gear between 2010 and 2013, but still has all of the features we’ve come so used to seeing on TV over the years. So, it's got the front Corbeau racing bucket seats, full race harnesses, and a roll cage to protect celebrities taking on famous fast bends such as Gambon and Hammerhead on the Top Gear circuit. The car is priced at £4,500, which is marginally more than the Auto Trader valuation guide private sale price of £4,230. However, potential buyers are reassured by the private seller that the car has been maintained to standards fit for the rich and famous.

The reasonably-priced Cee’d returned to Kia Motors as a promotional vehicle after its Top Gear service, before heading to a Kia dealership with just over 3,000 miles on the clock at the time. The advert claims the car has been very well maintained with a full Kia service history.
Auto Trader Cars Editor, Andy Pringle, said, "Everyone tells you to look for a car with one careful owner, but you could be forgiven for worrying when that one owner is Top Gear, and we have clear TV evidence of the extreme driving behaviour this particular car has endured. “That said, this is probably the best maintained Kia Cee’d on the planet – and having been entrusted with the lives of some of the world’s biggest stars – its full KIA service history and low mileage could offer something different for a buyer who’s on the lookout for the arguably the most famous KIA Cee’d in the world.” To see the car, simply click on this link.
