I only saw the World of Top Gear Exhibit for the first time last month, on the hunch that before long it would disappear with (presumably) the BBC still owing the cars, and most the exhibits being Clarkson era items. Interestingly they did have the Volvo and the Mercedes from New New Top Gear's Kazak trip, perhaps a sign of moving on?
Anyway, low-and-behold, just come up on eBay is an advert stating that this dealer will be breaking May's India Farce Rolls next week. I'm not sure if I believe the advert, but if it's correct, it and many more TG challenge cars will soon be gone. Glad I saw them when I had the chance! It seems the most famous stuff such as the Hilux and the Amphibious vehicles will be surviving.
Here's the ad anyway.
"1: Jeremy?s Vauxhall Frontera pickup truck , the white one that was cut in half. Registration S268ANV is to scrapped
2: Jeep Cherokee. This is the cammo car that Richard drove on the same shoot. STORE

EDIT: The Beaulieu Motor Museum webpage says the exhibit is currently undergoing a refresh, so I think we can safely assume the above will be scrapped. At least the good stuff has been kept!
