They also tended to give themselves 3 weeks to get them to auction but one clip of Ant fixing the Transit last night he said they had 10 weeks.
I think you're confusing this with Car SOS. Each episode of For the Love of Cars stated a 10 week period to do the work before the auction. If this has been answered before, my apologies.
How do the finances work? We keep on being told stories of how the owners need money, but with the possible exception of the Aston, ten weeks of professional resto is going to cost more than the less-than-£10K some of the cars fetch. Are the costs paid by the programme, all proceeds to the owner? Or what?

We're not told but can assume that I think. I reckon most of the stories are people known to the production company or someone who knows someone at the production company. I can't see how else they would justify doing up a car and flogging it just to raise money for an unemployed bloke to buy his fiance a 6k engagement ring. Utter madness. Hardly a "hard luck story deserving of spending tens of thousands of quid in labour and skills...How do the finances work?

The Aston is back under the hammer soon

From the blurb: Paid £173,400 in January 2015. The vendor then spent a further £78,000 with an Aston specialist to fix what was already fixed (ahem...)
Estimate £160000 - 180000..
Ouch.

The Aston:

Sold for (£): 174,375
"He enjoyed the car for a while but then decided it needed detail improvements and sent the car to highly experienced Aston specialists, Oselli Engineering, where a further £78,000 was then spent (all bills and receipts available), including re-detailing the engine bay which had suffered minor damage in a small under-bonnet fire."
Well, that explains it, I suppose
