    What I like about this show is that it reminds me of the initial seasons of Wheeler Dealers, just before Mike ruined it. I would like these guys to put more work on the cars even if that means more days working on it

      I agree it is “mirroring” the earlier series of WD. I see that they are also introducing more 3rd party specialist into doing up the cars too, as opposed series 1 & 2.

      Paul Brackley (Technical Advisor) and Daniel Allum (Executive Producer) both worked on Wheeler Dealers during the Attaboy days. Please don't bash Mike Brewer (FYI, I was firmly on Edd's side when he left WD). Things went downhill when Discovery became the producers and you can't blame Mike for that as he's just the presenter. He didn't ruin WD.

      @@Parknestwhile I substantially agree with you, the fact is that producers wanted to shorten the technical tranches led by Edd. I presume that if Mike had supported Edd in his claim and stick to their boots as a couple, the producers may have ruled in their favor and the show might still be on air. But Mike just wanted the show to go on, no matter what.

      It’s a fun conceit, but it is very contrived - for example they haven’t given up their jobs - they’re presenters! I enjoy it for what it is, but it’s a show, don’t listen to the guff about money, budgets, time constraints- they’re part of the show, it’s not about flipping cars to make money, it’s about delivering audiences to advertisers to make money.
      I can enjoy the show but I’m not kidding myself about what the real business model is.

      If you were planning to do a full restoration on one of these or any car that you don’t already own then it’s nearly always cheaper to find a better example that may be quite a bit more expensive as that will work out much cheaper in the end. It’s also entirely possible that it’s cheaper to just buy a nicely restored example rather than do it yourself..

    Now for a query that surely will be answered once I return from this pause to comment and wonder about a 'neutral/park' safety switch.
    When you try for the first time to start a car that has been sitting that you know nothing about and it's got a column shifter, just work that shifter a bit, maybe it isn't properly set in park.
    ...and now back to the two fellas as they discuss their options with a dead starter or...(?)
    Okay, as soon as the deal is made (I have yet to get to know these blokes by name) the man that stayed outside has found a wire that is errant. Good detective work. So my theory was not the case. ...again, back to the video.

    This is a strange show. I don’t know why they lie about this pretend business being their new job - the total profits made after the entire series from sales would be about £14 each. The bodging and the short-cuts are a bit scary and the standards of finish are really low. I’ll watch anything about old cars but in my opinion, they could cut the tired and over-used format of having a fake time limit, fake stress and a fake need for profit, and just work on cars without cutting every corner and bodging everything before flogging it on Ebay for £72.50.

    Wow, you guys must be the biggest penny pinchers in the Uk.
    Couldn't even afford to change brake calipers.
    It's heart wrenching watching you guys.
    Nuff respect for your hustle but I still think you'll get better audience by investing in the cars you possess.

      Its was the same story with the BMW mini, they did. They decided to go straight to the water pump, turned out to be a simple thermostat failure, which was peanuts to buy.

    My guess is the number plate is worth almost as much as the car, if that guy takes parts of it why would he.. Its hardly a spares car and watching other car resto's it could have had more work done.
    I have an Astra Bertone 2.2 convertible this year I just want to get it cheaply mot ed and then over the year do a rolling restoration I only paid £350 and it came with a £700 quid private plate which at the time of purchase I was clueless about. But the guy selling tried playing the game by me getting it through mot and then gaining the number plate of the car.
    On the open market I see really nice well cared for Astra 2.2 and the smaller engine cars but on the odd occasion you see a very low mileage one owner for bigger money..
    I have a few other convertibles and they need some work before they end up worse off..
    Oh yeah also I've seen a cool looking 1954 Morris Minor just like the one my dad had and it is my dream to possibly purchase it.. however I've already treated myself to my 60th birthday present a 2001 Jaguar 4.0 in Burgundy Its in better condition than my previous 2000 Jaguar 3.2..
    Keep up the interesting work..

    I love these blokes, They really make watching them fix these old cars fun. They used to be seen here in the USA . I guess Velocity did not renew their contract. I like the british auto shows they work togeter really well and is more enjoyable. Velocity is showing repeats of US car repair shows which I am sick of. I wish they would show more british car shows. The british are more classy . I like flipping baners more than Wheeler Dealer cause Mike Brewer takes most of the credit in Wheeler dealer. I think the mechanics get tired of him really fast..
