I'm sure she's the co driver for Phil the technical advisor on the show, so it's a bit of a setup just for the purposes of entertainment I think. Still, I enjoyed the episode.
I think Phil is set up nicely. (No Escort jokes please)

Giving the old girl a good going over by the looks of it.

Is she covering his prop shaft? Or is she checking his dip stick

More fake TV st then.

I wish they would either drop the buying and selling bit and concentrate on the techincal side or do the whole thing properly, as in buy a car, fix it, sell it and then buy the next one with the funds from the last one.

I first heard about tonight's car a couple of months ago by someone who did a lot of work on it. The prices I was told weren't even close to what was on telly tonight!

Still lovely looking car that I didn't know existed!

Those hubcaps seem super cheap!

I can imagine they put a fortune into this one. Random setup with the Swedish girl!

Quite enjoyed tonight's episode - I do like it when WD work on quirky cars rather than the more obvious choices (like with the Panda earlier in the series).

I wonder if they included the cock up with the window thing to give us home mechanics hope... if Edd China can fk something up, I'll always feel better when I do something similar. hehe

(Yeah, yeah, I know it's TV and it's not real...)

All those messerschmidts gathering on the 75th anniversary week of the Battle of Britain....
Would have been funny if a few Spitfires turned up.....

Triumph Spitfires that is....

Just seen it. Back to the good old days. Let's have some more like that.

BTW, just for comparison, the Capri episode was on Quest earlier yikes

I just watched it too.

I thought they glossed over an incredible amount of work. Edd just casually mentioned an entire interior re-trim, for example, without any of it being shown. By contrast they really laboured the dome, the polishing of engine parts, and hub caps. I'm sure the hub caps can't possibly have been £8 each though, not for the amount of work that appeared to have gone into them.

The "coming up" stuff before each break contained major spoilers which annoyed me enormously. I really wish they wouldn't do that. Teasers are kind-of ok, but outright spoilers just aren't on.

Finally, I thought they made an excellent choice on the colour - the red with white accents really worked.

(The buyer was super-cute too paperbag )

Just watched the Pacer episode. Abysmal in every way.

Caterham one was damned good though.

Just watched the last episode, as others have said there was an older wheeler dealers "hands on" feel to it, one of the best in the series I'd say! Nice of them to show us the dome mishap, interior looked fantastic for saying Ed just gave it a 3 second mention though..

Don't know if it was just me but I found the girl at the end really rather strange laugh

If they didn't show the dome disaster it would just be, pressed hubcaps and some ally polishing.
