does anyone remember a tv series based in a car dealership?

Hi, we vaguely remember a tv series in the 80's set in an Austin Rover dealership, they raced a metro in it we think? Does anyone remember what it was called? Any information would be appreciated, many thanks.

The Winning Streak?

Are you perhaps thinking of Driving Ambition where a housewife learns to race a silhouette Mini at Brands Hatch against a Vauxhall Firenza?

Vaguely remember story-series around 1984 with saloon-car racing Ford-BDA-engined Mini. It might have progressed to Metros but don't remember. Long time ago, will have think about it. Yes, I have an anorak. Maybe completely different direction tho.

A quick Google suggests it was The Winning Streak, not Driving Ambition.

The final race of Driving Ambition is on YouTube somewhere.

You young whippersnappers! I used to love this show - right in the era of Group B, I couldn't get enough of it.
