Turned out well but they should have kept the colour original. Tawney brown is the bollox!
Overall I enjoyed the programme. I reckon they must have really been inundated with emails about doing a mk1 and weren't lying about that, as they really seemed to wanna make sure they did it justice and seemed to play to the mk1 enthusiasts more than I've seen them do so with any other car on there!

how come the ebay page shows it at £5100 with 18 bids and reserve not met. yet he goes and buys it for 4500. yeh right he paid far more than 4500, either that or the seller is a fool considering it was at 600 more than that and people were still bidding.
big con

Where is this now? used to be to the left of Thames drive, in dagenham, went a few times, was more like a dealers show room ( now flatened ), now looks like a wearhouse somewhere, not open to the public?

I'v always thought they sold these at a loss, and probably fix the prices they buy parts for and pay more off camera, just to make it look like its easy money and he know what he's doing.
Like last week didn't he get £50 profit for the DB7,
That wouldn't pay for edd's cups of tea while doing the work if he even does most of it.
