Re: New Car Programme on TV Soon
I might have to do a you tube channel on how to upset your mother in law , we get her dove stuff from boots at xmas and last year she said I bloody hate dove . I told her that’s why we get it for her .
Also she had the bath removed and turned it in to a wet room and I told everybody she had it done as she was to big to get out the bath

Apparently the Lotus Cortina with 18000 miles and original paintwork, sold for 65000 dollars (around £50500) in this 2013 episode....andyd wrote:Part 2 of this episode featuring the Cortina sale, this Friday at 9pm and repeated Saturday at 5 pm.Andrew 2.8i wrote:I stayed up to watch F&L. Unfortunately, the Lotus Cortina was barely mentioned in the show, however, the main focus was a Shelby Mustang, so it's not all bad!

I wonder what the Cortina would sell for now, assuming that it's in the same condition as in the show?andyd wrote: Apparently the Lotus Cortina with 18000 miles and original paintwork, sold for 65000 dollars (around £50500) in this 2013 episode....
I didn't see this episode, but I did remember to watch the Wheeler Dealers one with the Alfa.Great episode, but they don't seem to be making much money in the UK so far this series.

I would think around 60k for the Cortina now.Andrew 2.8i wrote:I wonder what the Cortina would sell for now, assuming that it's in the same condition as in the show?andyd wrote: Apparently the Lotus Cortina with 18000 miles and original paintwork, sold for 65000 dollars (around £50500) in this 2013 episode....

Yes the Alfa episode was good, mainly down to Edds repairs as usual...Didn't make alot of money on it did they
You can see the tension starting to creep into the workshop when Brewer is there.

Capri drivers eh?
It's great fun watching the bits of these old programmes that were filmed outside on real streets. Most of the cars in that clip are rarely seen nowadays.

Re: New Car Programme on TV Soon
Did anyone else watch WD RS 2000 rally car?
It had a pair of 3.0S Carla Fishnets which were taken out to fit rally spec seats....
Wonder what happened to them, along with the rest of the interior that was not required

Hi Andy,andyd wrote:Did anyone else watch WD RS 2000 rally car?
Yes, I watched it this morning. I'm sure I've seen that episode before though. I get the feeling that the only reason they prepared the car for rallying was just so they could film the Edd vs Mike rally scenes and add a bit of drama for the programme. They definitely would have made more profit by keeping it standard, in my opinion.
Don't tell Jason about the fishnet headrests.......andyd wrote:It had a pair of 3.0S Carla Fishnets which were taken out to fit rally spec seats....

Re: New Car Programme on TV Soon
Yes it was a nice car and imo they should have painted the engine bay and boot area the same as body colour. LHD will always be more awkward to sell, but I agree keeping it as a road car they would have spent less and probably made more than £600 profit.Andrew 2.8i wrote:Hi Andy,andyd wrote:Did anyone else watch WD RS 2000 rally car?

Re: New Car Programme on TV Soon
That's the end of this series, I didn't see the Hornby episode so I'll have to find that on YouTube. The other episodes have been good, very enjoyable. As you say, in theory it should be the most boring hour of television ever. However, in practice it makes great TV mainly because of James who, I think, suits the show perfectly.andyd wrote:The Reassembler Series 2 with James May starts on Quest December 4th.
