James May Floats Grand Tour Reunion, Reveals Unmade Southeast AsiaAustralia Idea

The presenter outlined a road‑trip concept using ultra‑cheap local cars in a region the trio never covered.

Overview

  • In an interview with the Oxford Mail, May suggested a return to TV with Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond as a personal idea rather than a plan.
  • He pointed to the area between Southeast Asia and Australia, naming Malaysia and the Philippines, as a notable gap in their travels.
  • May said he favored buying the cheapest cars available locally, arguing that running ‘knackered’ vehicles produces better stories than driving pristine models.
  • He shared the comments ahead of his Explorers – The Age of Discovery Tour appearance at Oxford’s New Theatre on Tuesday, October 21.
  • The trio ended their on‑screen partnership with 2024’s The Grand Tour: One For The Road in Zimbabwe and Botswana, and there has been no confirmation of new episodes or a reunion from the co‑hosts or Prime Video.
