Richard Hammond's car restoration company has been fined after appearing in court.
The Smallest Cog Limited, based in Rotherwas, appeared before magistrates in Worcester earlier this month after being brought in on a charge of failing to identify a driver.
The company pleaded guilty of failing to give information relating to the identification of the driver of a vehicle, a Ford, who was alleged to have been guilty of an offence.
The court confirmed that a fine and victim surcharge were imposed on the company.
The company, of which Hammond is the sole director, has a registered address in London according to Companies House, but trades from a unit in Beech Lane in the Rotherwas Industrial Estate.

The business offers a range of services including paintwork and refinishing, mechanical work, and bodywork repairs.
The business is the subject of the Discovery+ show, Richard Hammond's Workshop, which has been confirmed for a sixth and seventh series.
The former Top Gear presenter set up the Smallest Cog in 2021, after Neil, Anthony and Andrew Greenhouse, who had worked on Hammond's cars for years, faced the loss of their workshop, and the TV presenter stepped in.
The Smallest Cog was approached for comment.
