that was parked in the classic ford stand at ford fair?

it's a top secret secret that was filmed for the telly and i spoke to the crew and got a fair bit of the story

but who actually spotted it? and who was there when they did their thing with it?

and, more importantly, did anyone take any pics of it

obviously if it's a secret then i'll say no more, but it's the sort of story that will have everyone guessing

 

Is this a "Once upon a time..." moment?

 

well i aint got a clue lol so why dont u fill us in on what ya know dojj my dear boy

 

Interesting....?! What has/was it being filmed for?? Or, is that the secret bit?

 

come on dojj spill some beans lol

 

fucks sake Dojjapoo

 

Lets hope its not a wheeler dealer cosworth again

 

Spill the beans Dojj!

 

Don't leave us hangin!

 

It's for a programme where a guy sticks a different front bumper and extra rear spoiler on his 3 door and it quadruples in value (not based on actual events)

 

spoke to simon from classic ford about why he had a 3 door on his stand and he said they were filming it for a tv show

so then i spoke to the crew and the producer and it's a 10 series show for the bbc about how they resto cars that have been barn finds

this particular 3 door had "allegedly" been parked in a barn and was found minus an engine and been restored ala overhaulin (and not pimp my ride) in 3 weeks and was "revealed" to the owner at ford fair

what gets me is how you could restore a car from barn find condition to as new in just 3 weeks on a small budget and wihtout anyone knowing about it outside of the production team so THATS the info i was after if anyone could shed any light

the reason i've waited is because i'm not sure if there is a feature in this or not for the mags and i'm not sure who the original owner was or who supplied the bits

 

sounds interesting although like u say hard work to do on a low budget and in 3 weeks

 

Even I didn't know what the show as about - I didn't have time to ask!

I did hear the guy that brought it on the low loader say bits were painted the night before and were hardly dry!

And also they didn't want to drive it as it was smoking it's tits off

 

apparently it's going to be on in the spring of 2013 but they don't even know what channel it's going to be on

 

i might know lol, but i aint saying fuckall

 

3 weeks is plenty of time of you have many hands to fo the jobs.

 

Wrong!!! Your are saying

 

But the guy was saying that they didn't have as big a budget as wheeler dealers so they must have enlisted help from someone who knows their way around a sierra
Can't for one moment believe that those folks have been for ed to sign the official secrets act in order to the spill the beans on it

 

Wasn't there a post on here a few months ago, where they were asking for suitable cars to restore for a tv show?

 

join up under a different name D-sport then u can tell us all under cover lol

 

Yes, there was.

Also a guy from Practical Classics mag was looking for 3dr parts in a real hurry the other week as the car was to be filmed for an upcoming tv show.

No mention of it in the mag yet.

 

Nope, didnt see it or know anything about it.
So not in RSOC
But I did know about the wheeler dealer sapphire as it was my mate they bought it from.
Was already a done deal before the auction ended tho

 

so there is a secret society dealing in tv cars then

 

Sounds like an interesting programme, hope it makes it to air!
