Hours after posting that last comment, I had a flashback to where they even showed the engine being removed.

Explains a lot. Thanks for the info.

I think the nicest thing you can say about Mr Pritchard is that he hasn't the foggiest. The MGC was a turkey from the start, panned by the press on its launch and replaced by the too little too late V8 that wasn't even their idea. Conversions had been available for ages. This 'poor man's Aston' was just bilge. They threw good money after bad on the admittedly very nice interior and replacing a perfectly nice set of alloys (I don't think they were Minilites) with expensive wires was another waste of money.
I switched off before the end, as I did with the Lancia Delta edition, as soon as they said they were going to 'wrap' it (or cover it with sticky backed plastic, as they would say on Blue Peter). I loathe fake rally cars.

Moggie looks bloody awful.

Bloody hideous!

Not normally a fan of his mods to the cars, but really like that Moggie.

Agreed. I might have painted the roof though. Loved the Maserati too.

As did I.

The moggie could have been great but I really didn’t like the wicker. The colour, wheels and ride height were spot on.

He was right about the Capri interior, I've never seen an S without fishnet recaros.....

I had a mk3 2.0S and a couple mk3 3.0S Capris without the fishnet head rests. Also had a 3.0S with them, they were optional extras.

My head nearly exploded when his Drewness said he was modding the Moggy with "banded wheels and lower

profile tyres".

It actually looked okay at the end ,not sure about the "Wicker wagon "......

Luckily he didn't touch the Ghibli ,just a genius polish up and detail.

The back doors of the Moggie were a mess after the fix. A credit cards width at the top and the skip of your bonnet at the bottom where they meet.

MOT history of the Maserati is very good ,as it should be for the mileage and if it's been garaged and cared for

over it's life.

Only a couple of blips of online tests.

The moggie was a bit of a travesty compared to the one Wheeler Dealers did. I think in the same position I'd have had vinyl printed at a tenth the cost, much easier to remove. The front wheels didn't look much wider than normal either, I wonder if they had problems with clearance. Talking of wheels, shouldn't they have been cream / old English white, rather than the slightly blue modern white?

Nice polishing job on the Maserati, but it should be for the price!

Vinyl would have been an option, but Neil Melliard's work is amazing. Agreed about the wheel colour. I was just assuming they would have been cream. Probably a Drew choice.

It looked to me like the Maserati had a good detailing job done, but then someone had given it a quick polish afterwards and put a few swirls back into it. As for the price, that wasn't too bad I thought !

Indeed.
Neil did look a bit bemused by the request though, you could clearly see him trying to keep a straight face

Its a TAG Heuer Monaco, an iconic petroheads watch as worn by Steve McQueen in the Le Mans film. There are quite a few different versions (and a few fakes) but that blue faced one on a blue crocodile strap is the one to have. Still regret selling mine!
