Quentin Willson , the British TV host known for Top Gear and Britain’s Worst Driver , has died. He was 68.

In a statement from his family shared with multiple outlets, they announced that he died “peacefully surrounded by his family” during a brief illness with lung cancer, calling him a “true national treasure.”

“Quentin brought the joy of motoring, from combustion to electric, into our living rooms,” the family said, adding: “The void he has left can never be filled. His knowledge was not just learned but lived; a library of experience now beyond our reach.”

Jeremy Clarkson and James May, Willson’s former co-presenters during his time on the original Top Gear from 1991 to 2001, paid tribute to their late friend and colleague as they reacted to news of his death.
