He has done Land and Air transport so why not do a Boat or Hovercraft.

Brilliant, i do enjoy his shows as he does have some good skills and good taste when it comes to resto projects.

Something at least 90 years old, and a long way from complete.

Lots of bodging, guessing, guess-bodging and other exciting hook-or-crook ways of getting it back on the road.

An 80's hot hatch would be good (see above).

Just make sure not to treat us like fools like he did when he 'found' the E-Type under that cover.

A £2000 e34 M5 restoration would be fun to watch, as he finds half the parts are NLA as they're not old enough for BMW to put them in the 'Mobile Tradition' category, but too old for them to bother keeping any stock.

An original RS2000? There can't be many left unmolested so he may have to build one from an Australian 3 door body.

Is that even restoreable (is that a word)?

Edit: Just seen the other thread. That'll be a NO then.

Why an Australian 3 door?

Because of less corrosion over there or are the standard Australian 3 doors models more similiar to an RS2000 version than a standard model 3 door from over here?

Or did they not make an MK1 escort (non-RS2000) over here?

Genuinly interested if anyone can answer ?

Indeed they did do a 4 door, but the reason I would choose an Aussie is because of corrosion. I think pretty much every existing Escort here has been stripped and crushed now.

I still covet his hybrid Land Rover with V8 and high articulation suspension cloud9
