I caught a glimpse of a trailer for a new UK show in which they restore retro / classics in time for shows / meets on sky sports news but didn't see when it's on.
There must be a thread about this somewhere but can't see it. Can anyone point me in the right direction so I can sky+ it?
Cheers Phil

Yes it was pretty much a tv version of this forum. Might have to leave sky sports news on to catch the ad again if no one here has any info.

I think it will be on Discovery, looks a bit like Wheeler Dealers crossed with Salvage Squad on the trailer, the car gets restored in secret and presented back to the owner...

Sounds like the one with Fuzz Townshend out of Practical Classics (and formerly drummer of Pop Will Eat Itself...) "'Car SOS', is to be premiered on National Geographic Channel on Thursday 7th February at 8pm." he says on the Twitter

1989 Peugeot 205. You know, the one that was parked in a ditch on the campsite at RRG'17... the glass is always full. but the ratio of air to water may vary.

I wont be watching it as that show took a car to do for a friend of mine and then returned it to him in pieces a few weeks later saying that it did not have a broad enough market appeal and that budget cuts meant they had to drop one show. Then I read in practical classics a piece saying that all the cars had gone beyond time and way over budget but as they started they had to finish, tell that to Kev who was majorly let down by them! The thread about being chosen here and then let down is here. The rest of us that frequent that forum then arranged for it to be delivered to our yearly spectacular and over the course of the next 10 days made it road legal.

Hmmmmm, 60 minute make over meets Overhaulin? UK shows like this are so low budget. Still I'm glad they are having a go and will be sticking it on the series link.
