(I know the episode to which you are referring, but I don't remember it looking as if Mark was the one Johnson wanted to, ahem, purchase. Clearly I need to rewatch!)
Usborne actually references Clarkson in the Mark's-sexuality-crisis episode, doesn't he? 'Will you walk, like some stupid... duck, or will you drive, like Clarkson?'
Jeremy of Peep Show admires Jeremy Clarkson. This probably doesn't bode well for poor Mark.
Being traded for James or Richard wouldn't be great for him, either; between the fear of public speaking and the inability to drive, I don't think he'd much enjoy being a Top Gear presenter. (Usborne would totally demand the Stig.)
