Porsche-driving ‘Top Gear’ producer Andrew Wilman was yesterday banned from driving for six months after being caught speeding near his London home.
Lavender Hill Magistrates' Court
He was executive producer of the BBC show between 2002 and 2015 before leaving with old school pal Jeremy Clarkson to create spin-off ‘The Grand Tour’.
Wilman, 62, who lives in a £6m house in Lyford Road, Wandsworth Common pleaded guilty to driving his grey 2.9 litre Porsche Macan in excess of the 20mph limit.
Lavender Hill Magistrates’ Court heard an automatic speed camera captured Wilman speeding along The Avenue, Clapham on December 23, last year at 24mph.
He was educated at £52,000-a year Repton School, Derbyshire - also attended by Clarkson - and has also produced ‘Clarkson’s Farm’.
Working extensively with his school chum Wilman has also produced ‘Jeremy Clarkson’s Motorworld’; ‘Jeremy Clarkson’s Extreme Machines’; ‘Jeremy Clarkson: Meet the Neighbours’ and ‘Jeremy Clarkson: The Greatest Raid of All Time’.
BAFTA-nominated Wilman was fined £666, with £110 costs and ordered to pay a £266 victim surcharge.
He was also disqualified from driving for six months and his licence was endorsed with three penalty points.
