Next Episode of Bangers & Cash: Restoring Classics is
Season 4 / Episode 2 and airs on 23 May 2024 19:00
A Bangers & Cash spin-off series that follows the journey of a vehicle purchased at a Mathewsons classic car auction, before being repaired, restored and then re-auctioned in order to try and find the vehicle a new home and loving owner. These genuine restoration projects, with varying degrees of difficulty, show how tricky it can really be to restore classic vehicles back to their former glory. Derek, Paul and Dave Mathewson are on hand to share their advice and observations on the variety of different jobs, which include an MG Montego Turbo with its engine in the boot, and a rare Lotus Elan S1 that hasn't seen a road for 47 years.
This week, a super rare Reliant Scimitar GTC undergoes an expert recommission, leaving no bolt unturned. And a Honda CBR superbike from the 80s is in need of repair. For more information, please email [email protected]
This week the Restoring Classics team are on the hunt to restore one of the greatest names in motoring history – the Bugatti. But with a strict budget they settle for a replica - and enter it into a beach race prior to auction… what could possibly go wrong?
Derek disapproves of a Corsair Pedal Plane. Will the budget take a nosedive when it lands at the restorers? Plus, a 30-tonne Volvo 'love truck' is part way through a total restoration.
The Restoring Classics team take on a modern day fast Ford to see if a 'quick flip' could make a few quid, fall in love with what was called 'the ugliest motorcycle ever made' and revisit a 3 year MG restoration project that's still not finished.
This week, a 90s Alfa with electrical issues lives up to its stereotype and the team revisit a road roller, four years on. They also tackle a French motoring icon – the 2CV6 Dolly.
The Restoring Classics team take Derek's advice when he sniffs out the rarest car they've ever taken on - the last remaining Hillman GT.
The team lift the shutters on their biggest restoration to date in the shape of a Series 1 Land Rover. But does that mean record profit or history making loss?
Looks like something went completely wrong!
But don't worry - it can happen to the best of us,
- and it just happened to you.
