Contestants Needed For Competitive Car Rebuild TV Pilot

Post by Ed Hall »

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.

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!
:goodluck:

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! :lol:

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!

And you also get to win a clapped-out old banger that you've just resurrected from the dead! :lol:

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
