RS1600i. Loved this car when I was younger. Can't wait to see it finished.

Another fantastic episode, that Escort looked perfect at the end!

My wife is always in floods of tears at the end of each show!

Best of the series, that Escort was one hell of a mess, even warming to Tim despite him insisting on acting like a 12 year old.

Yeh Tim is the only thing I don't like about the show.

The 930SC they did earlier in the series was good too.

Wasn't overly impressed with the Sierra RS Cosworth they did though, Sapphy dash and exhaust were wrong and to try and use the original radiator then have it blow just 2 minutes down the road on the test drive was poor (or scripted).

Will be a repeat of the latest series to run on Nat Geo surely?

First episode of the new series was just on. AC Aceca restored.

Have to say I've mixed feelings when it's such a high value car. OK the bloke had a heart attack and cancer so he was never going to restore it himself but getting handed back a £150k (their figures) restored car seems a bit off to me. Other episodes have featured people who could have paid for a restoration themselves. I know it's just telly and not a charity but I feel better when it's people really struggling given a bit of joy rather than massive financial gain.

I Like Fuzz a lot. Tim, on the other hand is starting to grate a bit!

I'm sure he wasn't that bad in the last series.
