One thing that couldn't be true....the claim it took 6,000 man hours. AS the whole build was 10 weeks that would be 10 people working solid for 60 hours per week. Even accounting for the 3rd party work it still doesn't add up. Plus, if the build took just half of those hours into account at just Ł20/hour that would still have added Ł60k to the Ł96k build costs, wiping out any profit.

Man hours is not worked out like that in the automotive trade to time business side of things as 2 guys working a 12 hour shift jointly adds as to 24 man hours not 12 so a team of 5 guys working 12= 60hrs in a day

I really like the program and given that the car was sold through coys auction god knows why the fuck any one wouldnt believe it, its easily verifiable after all its not like some random person pretending to hand over cash to mike brewer on wheeler dealers.

Only one that will be worth watching is the Transit one.
Beetle.. fiat 500... rover sd1....golf gti...All been done before on tv shows.
Get some new material, dont act like bellends, dont talk bollocks trying to make you look like someone you're not.... and maybe it wouldnt be such a crap show.

6000 * 20 = 120K by the way

Ant Anstead's cars look pretty, and genuinely jaw dropping to me. Out of all the car restoration programs this for me is one of the most realistic.

im glad to see that tbf, I did enjoy the program but I thought it was a load of bullshit like wheeler dealers was, if it isn't then fair play, I stand corrected and will watch it again

I don't really see the appeal of this program.
It COULD be really good. They cover interesting cars and appear to do a good job of them. But, as with every other car restoration program, it's ruined by the addition of yet another gob shite, chat bollocks presenter. Too much time covering the same ground and talking crap, not enough time actually covering the interesting stuff.
These programs always have to appeal to a mass market, and that's their downfall unfortunately.
