Next Episode of Ant Anstead: Born Mechanic is
unknown.
Master mechanic Ant Anstead goes back to basics as he buys, restores and sells old cars from a ramshackle barn. But this time, it's personal, as any profit made will help him renovate a 500-year-old farmhouse that he's bought for his parents to retire in.
Ant heads to Essex to see a car that was once fit for the Queen - a 1970 Rover P5B. Despite rust, oil leaks and heavy steering, the legendary V8 engine wins him over. But back at the workshop he uncovers serious bodywork issues.
Ant heads to Hartlepool to see a car he's wanted for years - a 1976 Morgan 4/4. But the bodywork is poor and the big worry is if the ash frame that lies beneath is rotten. Meanwhile, the farmhouse kitchen is delayed as Ant tackles structural repairs.
Ant buys a 1967 Massey Ferguson 165, hoping it can earn its keep around the farmhouse. But a breakdown, bad steering and dodgy electrics stand in the way. Can he and Duncan fit a loader, move six tonnes of bricks and prove the tractor gamble was worth it?
Ant heads to Lincolnshire for a 1987 Fiat Bertone X1/9, but finds it on its side, partly dismantled and engine-out. But after owning two X1/9s before, he can't resist. Meanwhile Ant makes a drastic repair to shore up the farmhouse.
Looks like something went completely wrong!
