Student makes hilarious ‘Top Gear’ car advert for his clapped out Toyota Yaris with peeling paint, a top speed of 37mph and enough boot space for ‘a body’

A FILM student has channelled his inner Jeremy Clarkson in an effort to flog his old family car.

Harry Ainsworth, 20, decided to make a tongue-in-cheek video about his 2002 Toyota Yaris after he struggled to sell it.

In the ad he jokingly boasts about the car's top speed of 40mph.

Harry said: "Essentially it was a mixture of doing it for a laugh and genuinely wanting to sell the car.

"I'm constantly looking for excuses to make videos and so when dad said he wanted to sell the car I persuaded him to let me make a video to accompany it.

"I tried to mix honesty with humour so people hopefully know what they're getting themselves in for!

"Having said that, other than the dodgy paintwork and a few other dents and dings, the car is pretty sound."

The Top Gear spoof, which already has 15,000 views on Facebook, looks to be working as views for the car's eBay listing have rocketed to their thousands.

Harry, who is originally from Bath, Somerset, is studying film at Royal Holloway, University of London in Surrey.

He said: "Our eBay listing is at 2000 views already which is more than I've seen, but I'm totally unsure how it's going to go.

"I wrote a script and rallied together camera equipment from my friend and just got going!

"The best selling features of the car have to be it's size and it's looks. The size makes its super convenient to nip about in and I think for a 15 year old car it's retained a somewhat modern look...I think."

This is not the first time Harry has turned to video to advertise something.

His video to attract a new housemate to his student digs racked up a huge 120,000 views.
