Car fanatic Philip Glenister teams with designer Ant Anstead on a mission to find classic cars in not-so-classic shape, fix them up and then auction them off. Glenister finds vehicles that he can get for the right price and brings them into the shop for Anstead to restore. Since Glenister gets to know each seller during the bargaining process, he uses stories about the car as inspiration to help inform Anstead's overhaul. After the front-to-back transformation is complete, the guys take the car for a spin. At the end of the season, the finished cars are sent to a public auction to see if all of the hard work pays off.

Episodes

Episode 1 Aired Apr 20, 2014 Mk1 Ford Escort Mexico The Mk1 Ford Escort Mexico is the car that brought speed to the average lad on the street; it was perhaps the first car that appealed to the kid racer and meant that young people could show off by spinning their wheels. Details Episode 2 Aired Apr 27, 2014 Land Rover Series I The Land Rover Series I is a very iconic British car, which was born in 1948 and went on to conquer the world; it's rugged and simple, but with only 39,000 ever made, examples of this national treasure of automotive pride are getting harder to find. Details Episode 3 Aired May 4, 2014 Triumph Stag The Triumph Stag is a car that represents the best and worst of British motoring; launched in 1970 with continental good looks and a punchy V8 engine, it was the perfect car for the G&T set. Details Episode 4 Aired May 13, 2014 Mini Cooper MK1 The Mini Cooper Mk1 was the car that changed everything; from its revolutionary design and front wheel drive to its conquering record as a track and rally car, it was the small car with the big heart driven by royalty. Details Episode 5 Aired May 19, 2014 MGTC The 1945 MG-TC, the forerunner of the modern sports car, paves the way for the mass export of sporty British two-seaters. Details Episode 6 Aired May 25, 2014 Delorean DMC-12 Philip Glenister and Ant Anstead try to restore a DeLorean DMC-12, an epic car that stands as a tribute to the excess of the 1980s. Details Episode 7 Aired Jun 1, 2014 Auction The collected cars are shipped to one of the United Kingdom's largest and most prestigious car auctions. Details
