Official documents show his estate had a gross value of £1,921,590 with the net value after debts and liabilities standing at £1,856,615. Willson helped front the original Top Gear alongside Jeremy Clarkson before later becoming one of the leading faces of Channel 5 motoring show Fifth Gear.
He also presented programmes including Britain's Worst Drivers and The Cars The Star, while campaigning on fuel prices and electric vehicles through FairFuel UK and FairCharge. Through his FairFuel campaign, Willson fought successfully to help freeze fuel duty saving consumers an estimated £100billion in fresh taxation. Following news of his death, broadcaster Jeremy Clarkson paid tribute, describing him as 'hugely knowledgeable' and saying he had been 'a proper car enthusiast from the old school'.
