Amazon’s PR campaign for the automotive television series produced by Andy Wilman precedes the launch later this month in 200 countries, including Australia.

The three eight feet tall statues were first sighted leaving a boat at White Bay where they were lifted on to a ‘The Grand Tour’ freight truck with views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House.

The heads were not the only sighted cement monuments, with people spotting other body parts, including Jeremy, James and Richard’s arms, legs and crotch.

 

There is some speculation as to where the colossal statue will be erected as the heads’ ultimate destination has not yet been revealed.

Promotion for the show comes after Amazon allowed Australians to access elements of its Amazon Prime content; however, the US company denied it had soft-launched the product locally.
