There's been a few 'sold back to the previous owner'
Makes you wonder if it's maybe someone to do with the production team.
The RX7 was sold back to the old owner and it was incredible money. They did a few nice things but basically stuck some nasty stickers on it, intercooler and remap and the bloke that sold it paid thousands more to have it back.
The old Porsche one, really the bloke probably did ok buying it back. It was knackered sat in his barn. He probably just wanted it back on the road and thought it's a good way to do it. You imagine if he'd sent it off to be restored anywhere else. But again does make you wonder if these people are associates of the show.
