The selling negotiations are absolutely laughable!
Did the purchaser really come without knowing the price? Ask £25,000 and 13 seconds later after negotiating with two people they accept £20,500.
It's complete baloney.
Did it sell? As it's For sale. Did the purchaser really come without knowing the price? Ask £25,000 and 13 seconds later after negotiating with two people they accept £20,500.

Years ago, as a student, I had no money and was in need of a sports car.
I bought an old black MG midget. Black bumper version. Ugly as sin but very little rust and it ran well. I stripped it of everything: Windscreen, bumpers, all the interior (except the seats, which got bolted to the floor), windows, heater, wipers, hood, etc. I then welded the doors shut. All the holes were covered with gaffer tape, the insides of the doors had a thin layer of gaffer tape stuck on to cover all the holes. It sat about a 10 inches higher in the air. The only things I added where a couple of aeroscreens, a Peter May lowering kit (very much needed by now), a second hand tonneau cover, and some chrome trims to the original Rostyles. It also got new tyres.
It was an absolute hoot. Cost me really very little.
It was only really a leather interior and a paint job away from last nights car.

Well it was worth it just for the Lotus pistons which as we all know gives an immediate 30% power increase. And that replacement engine for only a grand was a steal when an MGB engine costs 5 or 6 grand. "Gedowt" as the tattoed bint put it. Did the purchaser really come without knowing the price?

Utter, utter garbage.

Someone has been busy deleting all the negative responses on their FaceBook pages.
Just had a look and its nothing but an explosion of delight and enthusiasm for the series. Surely no one with an ounce of mechanical sympathy, engineering ability or an appreciation of the motor car could watch that and not think its a load of cack. Next week they are going to build a "trick" dirt bike that will jump the panel gaps.
I know this was probably down to the client, but what a way to ruin a Yam MT10 in the MGB episode.
It is very hipster, all about flipping cars for profit, based on questionable design choices, and all with minimal allowance for the sheer amount of actual mechanical work required to do this sort of thing to a professional standard.

Now if only they'd lose Sherwood to Goblin and leave Fuzz to do his thing......
Yep.Its not just Sherwood, though, its the annoying script-story routine that we're supposed to believe he's on the blag for stuff.....
Get rid of that crap, and replace Sherwood with James May.
A restoration programme with Fuzz and May I reckon would be about right.
Oh, and I agree with most on here as well, this Goblin thing is utter s
