The farm manager posted up a picture of his Mitsubishi Triton, which appeared in the series
Clarkson’s Farm regular Kaleb Cooper has written off his car, he revealed in a new post. This afternoon, the farm manager posted up a picture of his Mitsubishi Triton, which appeared in the series – notably when delivering wasabi grown on the farm to top London restaurants.
The picture showed damage to the front left wing and a burst back tyre – and while not revealing what happened Kaleb, 27, said the damage ‘you can’t see’ is worse, meaning the car is being scrapped.
Kaleb said: “Well the time has come to say goodbye to my first ever truck! Over 200k on the clock with no problem but unfortunately it’s now a write-off (no more London trips to sell wasabi)”.
Follower wheely90 doubted it needed to be scrapped and said: “That’s not written off.” Kaleb replied: “it (sic) the Damage you can’t see which is the problem.”
Melon suggested: “Reach out to Hammond to fix it up. It’ll only take 3-4 working months.” While Double replied: ”not sure he wants a chrome triton”, referring to the tractor prepared for host Jeremy Clarkson’s pub.
Lukuss had a better suggestion than scrapping it: “Looks like a new farm manager’s office to me! Seats out and put on a swivel stand, back bench for colleagues for meetings. Engine block as a table with glass on top”
Kaleb is best known for his central role in Prime Video’s Clarkson’s Farm. A local from the Cotswolds, he gained fame for providing straight-talking expert advice to Jeremy Clarkson and assisting in running Diddly Squat Farm.
He has been a series regular since 2021, helping Clarkson manage the 400ha farm and often showcasing his deep knowledge of agriculture. He began working in farming while at school and started his own business at age 13, initially selling eggs.
The father of three, who is proclaims to be “Chipping Norton born and bred”, said he began farming at the age of 12.
“For my 13th birthday, my mum didn’t buy me a new phone or a new Xbox or anything like that, but in fact she brought me three chickens,” he said.
“I started my first company at thirteen, selling chicken eggs around Chipping Norton with a basket.
“Within two months of my 13th birthday I had 450 (chickens), and I used to walk around, knock on people’s doors and sell my eggs.”
