During the mid 2000s, Top Gear would publish some of the photos taken for its magazine online in high resolution. These were typically comprised of cover images, promotional shots of new cars, or photos taken at car shows. Though long since removed from the website, below is an extensive compilation of all known images that were published during this time, along with a description of what each image depicts and where it was used.
Note that this is not a complete list, as certain images serve no purpose and have been omitted from this list and others may not be available at this current moment in time. Some images are not at their optimal resolution.
