We are piloting a new competitive, classic car rebuild TV show called ‘Build It, Start It, Keep It’ for a major UK broadcaster, and we need contestants.
Have you and two mates got the basic mechanical skills to rebuild a car?
If you can build it and start it before the other team do, you will get to keep it!
For the pilot we are looking for contestants with a passion for classic cars such as CAPRI, BMW 3 SERIES (1ST GEN), TR7, SPITFIRE, OPEL MANTA, MG BGT, STAG, SCIMITAR
Do you have a personal story as to why you want to win the car?
Do you want to win the car for a family member or friend?
Are you outgoing and up for a challenge?
Do you want to put your mechanical skills to the ultimate test by competitively rebuilding a car, head to head in one day?
Are you free for two days on the week of October 23rd?
If so I’d love to hear from you, please email me a bit about yourself, your potential team and why you’d like to win the car.
[email protected]
Please feel free to share this with anyone you feel might be interested in the show.

Hi,
That sounds like an interesting concept for a TV show. Is anyone from the forum planning to contact the producers with a view to featuring on the show?

That's great, please keep us posted.
You'll walk it if the producers give you something pinto powered to rebuild!

If you need a Clarkson-esque team-mate who knows nowhere near enough to help (but can use a hammer quite well) let me know!
Have to agree with Andrew though, sounds like an awesome idea, wish I at least had a clue of where to start as it sounds like a great opportunity to have a bit of fun while also getting on telly!Andrew 2.8i wrote:Hi,

Got a full crew as it goes. Not sure yet exactly what it'll involve, whether it'll just be putting a car together that they give us in bits or making one roadworthy thats "dead".
I will keep people informed if we get in
