Default New UK Car Restoration Show for ITV Looking to Help

Is your beloved project rusting away in the garage? Have you bitten off more than you can chew modding your motor? We could be the answer to your prayers.

North One Television, makers of Speed With Guy Martin, The Gadget Show and Fifth Gear have been asked by ITV1 to make a brand new UK primetime car restoration show and we want to hear about your projects.

We understand that you may not have the time or finances to dedicate to your prized ride; so our team of elite mechanics are standing by to give it the mechanical makeover it so desperately deserves.

Interested? Keen for you and your car to be on UK TV?

Then please get in touch via CAR.RESCUE@NORTHONETV.COM with details of the car including a picture, a paragraph about yourself and why you deserve to be on the show.

Sounds like a pretty similar format to Car SOS.

Do you have a target demographic or group in mind or is it any petrol head?

a car show on itv1 has been well overdue but with likes of car sos as warren pointed out and for the love of cars with phil glenister on channel 4 and the cheesy ones like wheeler dealers on discovery I think itv1 is somewhat very late to the party, all car shows are a good thing so unless its fronted by the now available clarkson it will be a tough ask

I emailed but heard nothing, so I guess mine isn't right for the show. That means I'll need to get on and do it myself!!!!
