Doesn't seem to be on the Blaze website yet either. Maybe they are too embarrased to let people see it again laugh

The Volvo 480 episode looks like it was shot earlier in the series as they are now missing the 2 post ramp. Either that or due to the loss on the Alfa (which they should have parted out) have had to sell it.

Also cutting brake lines with an angle grinder next to the fuel tank...

They had a "reputation" almost before they had gone out of production!

Just discovered this on Blaze - quite entertaining. I especially like the Gordon Ramsey/Wolverine hybrid chap, "good day to you".

The backstory should obviously be ignored, but its cars being worked on so watchable.

Questionable work at time though lol

I was watching the Mgb one the other night, shocking to see them re-spray the whole car with rattle cans.

I bet the finish was awful.

Could not make any sense with Beetle one, they gave up trying to weld it and threw a load of new chrome parts at plus painted parts in white.

I run the Citroen Car Club's register for BX models (voluntarily - I'm just sad).

The 16V they did hasn't been heard of for a while. It's not on the road or anything.

I wouldn't think so. If it was on a different reg now, the original reg wouldn't work at all. What's the reg you checked?

The stand out episode for me was the Rover Sterling one. It was not a Sterling, the Sterling had the 24 valve Honda 2.5 or 2.7 , it was a bog standard 820 with a sterling badge stuck on the boot. Wrong engine wrong interior yet some tool bought it

What a load of borrocks.
Artificial time limit,a buyer at £300, reconditioned alloys,good engine with a new cam belt and it gets crushed.
Another fake car business,any normal garage would have persevered with the welding..... actually any normal garage would have inspected it thoroughly before they started
I can understand them chucking the towel in, but yes absolutely ludicrous that they crushed it with all the rare parts on it. Lost a bit of respect for the show once I saw that. Shame, because taken for what it is, it was actually doing well up to that point.
I just stumbled across this very episode as my first experience of this show, I won't watch any others.

Why not sell the wheels and engine? Break it for parts to minimise the whole fake "we're so poor" theme or just let the other chap have it for £300.

Utterly ridiculous.

Was this coupe, if so I believe all the coupes were marketed as Sterling.

The 800 was known as the Sterling in America, I think. Maybe they're pandering to international viewers....?
