March 2015 will always be remember by petrolheads as the month that saw the Top Gear bandwagon grind to a halt. Though Chris Evans will try to reinvent the Top Gear formula, Jeremy Clarkson and his amigos are no longer involved with the BBC car show. Half a year since the incident, the hotel where Clarkson put his Top Gear career to a shameful stop goes on sale for "a mere" £995,000.
By mere we mean that you do get a lot for the dough the owners of the Simonstone Hall hotel want. Located in the beautiful Dales countryside in the United Kingdom, the hotel where Jeremy Clarkson punched Top Gear producer Oisin Tymon in the face and called him a "lazy Irish" is nothing short of the perfect hideout from the urban jungle.

In other currencies, the previously mentioned price is equal to a fair $1.54 million or €1.36 million at current rates. According to the ad featured on RightMove.co.uk, we're dealing with an 18-bedroom hotel set in two acres of ground, located in the better part of tourist-laden North Yorkshire. The owners are parting ways with a business they acquired in 1996 because they haven't got any more time for managing it properly.

The enchanting stone building you can admire in the photo gallery below dates from the early 1700s. To boot, the country house was remodelled in 1818 according to the Simonstone Parish Council. That's about enough about the hotel, though, because this is an automotive publication, not Gumtree classified ads.

What are the lads up to after they've signed a deal with Amazon Prime? Well, recent reports point toward a car show that'll be known as Gear Knobs. Amazon commissioned 36 episodes, with the first to air in 2016.

Other than Jeremy Clarkson, James May, Richard Hammond, and ex-Top Gear executive producer Andy Wilman, the gang is searching for fresh production talent, researchers, and runners for the future show.
