The Amazon Prime Video show came to an end earlier this year, with the trio saying an emotional goodbye after 22 years of working together.
All three have their own projects going on, with Clarkson busy at his Diddly Squat Farm and May’s new show, James May and The Dull Men’s Club.
Meanwhile, Hammond has been busy running The Smallest Cog, a car restoration service based in Hereford.
“I’ve spoken to them a few times and I suspect we’ll go out for a beer somewhere,” he told Times Radio.
“Just because we can, not because we have to come up with some gags, plan a road trip or choose some cars, but for the hell of it. It’d be quite interesting.

May has also previously spoken about his lack of emotion when the trio parted ways earlier this year.
“Nothing will ever be as big as Top Gear and The Grand Tour were, so I’m not full of woe and regret,” he said.
“It was time to stop. We are all getting quite old. One or two of us are on the brink of death, and I hope we left on a high note with people wanting more because that’s what you’re supposed to do in show business.”

It’s something Clarkson has also spoken about previously, explaining he was surprisingly unemotional about the end of the show, as was May.
He told PA: “I’m not saying this in a derogatory way by any means but James has the emotions of a stone.
“He just doesn’t do emotions, so there were no tears from him. Hammond, yes.
“I was surprisingly unemotional in a weird way because I can see James and Hammond any time I want to, they’re only a phone call away, and I’m sure we will.
“And I’ve done enough of the travel, I was worn out by it.
Meanwhile, when asked in the past about why the trio was coming to an end, Hammond candidly told Heart Radio: “Because we’ve been doing it for 136 years.”
With The Grand Tour wrapping earlier this year, and Top Gear with that trio a thing of the relevant distant past, the three car boffins have said their professional goodbyes in what was an incredibly emotional moment of 2024 television.
May has since turned his attention to a new TV show dubbed James May and The Dull Men’s Club, and Clarkson has been busy filming antics at his Diddly Squat Farm and The Farmer’s Dog pub.
Given many fans see them as the bestest of friends, the future will obviously look different.
Addressing how their relationship will now look with filming and doing press no longer a requirement that brings them together, May said: “I’ve spoken to them a few times and I suspect we’ll go out for a beer somewhere.
“Just because we can, not because we have to come up with some gags, plan a road trip or choose some cars, but for the hell of it.
“It’d be quite interesting.”

In a press event for the final ever episode of The Grand Tour, Clarkson revealed that he will miss certain things about his two former colleagues more than anything else.
“Honestly, I could make some facetious remark about how we don’t like each other, but the truth of the matter is we do,” he said.
“Hammond has got one of the sharpest wits of anyone you’d ever meet. He’s an unbelievably funny guy, he really is.
“James knows how steam engines work. James is a remarkable character because he sort of never really got what The Grand Tour or Top Gear was about, and yet he fitted in incredibly well.
“He was a great person to work with and god we’ve had some laughs. I mean proper laughs mainly at Hammond’s expense but also with Hammond. He’s properly funny that guy, he really is.”

As for what the future looks like for May, he’s said his time in TV is likely to be a short-term thing.
“I suspect it won’t be that long to be honest. Because I think TV tends to retire you and not the other way around, but that’s okay.
“I have had a very, very decent run at it, much longer than I thought I would, so the important thing to do is to be is to be grateful for it. And I’m in the lucky position of being able to indulge my hobbies and interests.”
Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May have finally called time on their illustrious 22-year alliance, but their bidding fans farewell by heading on one last adventure.
Longtime viewers have already been left close to tears after watching the trailer for their last special on The Grand Tour – which is fittingly titled ‘One for the Road’ – so it’s safe to say the trio are going to be missed on our TV screens.
Even Clarkson, 64, has admitted their last dance is an ’emotional’ one, therefore you’ve got no excuse not to be armed with a box of tissues when you tune into the episode which will air on Amazon Prime on 13 September.
He gave himself, his two sidekicks and their crew a pat on the back for creating such great shows, while explaining why it was time for them all to move onto pastures new.
Speaking to The Sunday Times, the Clarkson’s Farm star said: “After 36 years of talking about cars on television, I’m packing it in, because I’m too old and fat to get into the cars that I like and not interested in driving those I don’t.
“What this means of course is that my 22-year partnership with James May and Richard Hammond is now over. You can see our final road trip together on Amazon Prime very soon. It’s emotional.
“What makes the three of us happy, though, is how we ended it.”

Clarkson explained that the trio decided to come full circle by ‘finishing up back where we began’, rather than going out in a ‘blizzard of outrage and tabloid headlines’ as he reckons a lot of people expected them too.
Hammond shared a similar sentiment when he opened up about the trio’s demise in an interview last week.
Clarkson said they had ‘thought long and hard’ about how they would wrap things up, but in the end ‘just went to the end of the alphabet’ and decided on Zimbabwe as all three of them ‘absolutely love’ being in Africa.
Describing the continent as their ‘happy place’, Clarkson went on to reveal why they decided that the country was the right place to say goodbye to one another for good.
He continued: “There was another reason why we chose Zimbabwe, though. We would drive across it from east to west, as usual, but then we could cross the border and finish up where we began all those years ago: the Makgadikgadi salt pans in Botswana.

“Was it sad when the director called, ‘That’s a wrap,’ for the very last time? Yes, it was,” Clarkson confessed.
“Especially as some of the crew had been with us when we were there before. People think of Top Gear and The Grand Tour as being James, Richard and me. But it isn’t. We’ve had the same crews for years.
“We’ve all grown up together. We’ve camped together. Shat our lungs out together, laughed our arses off together. “Casper, Ben, Russ, Kit, Marky Mark, Steve, Toby, Catweazle and a load more besides. These are the guys who really made those shows.
“But I can’t say it was much of a wrench when our juggernaut came to a halt because, two days later, I was with the same guys again making the farm show.”
They just can’t stay away from each other those three, can they?
Which is why when Clarkson was asked whether he would miss Hammond and May, he responded: “Not really.”

“I can see them whenever I like,” he explained. “But what I will miss is the excitement of crawling into a city such as Harare or La Paz or Hanoi at three in the morning in a car with no headlamps, one gear and only three wheels.
“I never thought I could have a job that would let me do stuff like that. There wasn’t a job that allowed me to do stuff like that. We invented it. And I hope that whoever replaces us realises that while they’ll get several diseases and arrested and bashed about until they are just a walking bruise, they are the luckiest people on earth.”
Despite insisting that they will keep in touch, Clarkson reckons that only one of his co-stars will visit his swanky new boozer.
But, on the other hand, May has hinted that this won’t be the last we will see of them together on our TVs.
Leaving the door cracked open for a reunion in the future, he said: “I’m sure there will be something, but it won’t be as big as [The Grand Tour] and I don’t need it to be. I’ve done that.”
Best known for their time on BBC motoring show Top Gear, and later Prime Video’s The Grand Tour, it has been reported that the group have dissolved their production company.
It’s a truly sad day for British TV, as arguably the most iconic trio this century has seen are coming to end, as one last episode of The Grand Tour is set to come to our screens sometime soon.
After Clarkson was sacked by the BBC in 2015, the trio migrated to Amazon Prime Video, where they have continued to make entertaining car-related content for us all.
The group are known for their chemistry and banter with one another, with many people watching their shows despite not having an interest in cars.
Nowadays, each of the presenters are doing their own things to great success, though Clarkson’s Farm by far and away takes the cake as the big success story from the three.

But according to the MailOnline, the presenters have dissolved their production company with producer Andy Wilman, W Chump and Sons, on 11 June.
Their application was made to Companies House, the official governmental body that approves startups and new business ventures, as well as the dissolution of companies.
So, this all means that the final pending Grand Tour episode will likely be the last time we see the famous trio together.
The 61-year-old explained: “I think people would only really like us doing cars, despite what some people say – ‘Oh, I think you should all go off and do cooking or you should all go and do a podcast about nothing’.
“But I don’t think so, I think we should let it lie, what we did.”
However, he did leave the door cracked open for a reunion in the future, adding: “I’m sure there will be something, but it won’t be as big as [The Grand Tour] and I don’t need it to be. I’ve done that.”
So I guess we might see them together in the distant future but as far as a regular programme done by the three goes, it looks like they’re done, 21 years later.
The three stars of course are best known for presenting Top Gear before moving over to The Grand Tour.
And with one last episode of the Prime Video motoring show set to come to our screens, it’s been reported that Clarkson, Hammond and May have dissolved their production company.
However, MailOnline reports they dissolved their production company with producer Andy Wilman, W Chump and Sons on 11 June.
The group’s application was made to Companies House, the official governmental body that approves startups and new business ventures as well as the dissolution of companies.
So, with the production company gone, it means that this last Grand Tour episode could be the final time we see the trio together on our screens.
And May previously told UNILAD he thinks they ‘should let it lie’ as a trio but there could be the odd little reunion in future.

Either way, whether you love them or hate them, most of us have grown up seeing the three blokes on telly, doing wild challenges, chatting about cars, and often taking the p**s out of each other.
Well, let’s be honest, May did sometimes seem to be at the receiving end of many of the jokes made by the other two.
During a previous episode of the Who We Are Now podcast, Hammond chatted to anxiety expert Josh Fletcher about obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
He admitted that while working together, he’d make light of OCD at May’s expense.

“We used to… and I’m feeling bad about it talking to you now, Josh, because I’m thinking, ‘Wait a minute – we were part of that’ – making light of what is, for some people, a really, really serious condition. We used to hit James with it all the time,” Hammond admitted.
Hammond and Clarkson used to call May ‘Mr OCD’ on Top Gear, though May has never said if he’s been diagnosed with the condition.
The star went on to recall an off-set prank he played on his co-host.
“If you stand next to James and this watch that I’m wearing has a bezel on it; you know, a bit around the edge. And if I put it so it doesn’t line up straight, and he and I used to sit (we had a lot of time to sit in cars being bored),” he said.
“And I deliberately set it like that. The only thing is I’ve set it out of kilter now, and it’s slightly annoying me, but I can then straighten it up and I’m happy, so that isn’t OCD, is it, because it hasn’t triggered any…? I’m not left unhappy.”
