Citroen

E4Citroen

Apr 27, 2018

Gus and Will track down a car that Gus used to own and still loves. It's cool, it's high tech - it's the Citroen BX. But it's been in a field for years, can't drive or stop, and looks terrifying.

Alfa Romeo

E5Alfa Romeo

May 4, 2018

Gus and Will snap up an Alfa 155 from the 1990s. It's a low mileage car with great history. But at just £400, is it too good to be true?

Porsche

E6Porsche

May 11, 2018

Volvo

E7Volvo

May 18, 2018

Mercedes

E8Mercedes

May 25, 2018

Gus and Will want a cool Mercedes 190, a miniature E class that's loaded with good design. They find the cheapest in the country at £550. It has a known engine issue and faults with the suspension - just what the guys want.

Mazda

E9Mazda

Jun 1, 2018

Gus and Will head 200 miles south to track down one of the most popular ragtops in the world - the Mazda MX-5. The car has been given a bit of 'boy racer attitude'. Can the guys bring it back to standard?

Metro

E10Metro

Jun 8, 2018

Gus and Will are on a trip down memory lane as they track down a 1980s Austin Metro. It's cheap, it's clean, and the guys suspect there is strong money to be made.

MGB

E1MGB

50m

Apr 27, 2019

Gus and Will want to buy an MGB roadster but the cheaper GT version is the one they find. It's got a few rust patches, and back in the workshop they realise beauty really is skin deep..

BMW Z3

E2BMW Z3

May 3, 2019

The guys want to buy a BMW, and Will says he likes the 'feminine' Z3. There's a trade-in up the road which might fit the bill but it's a high price. Can they get the deal they want?

Austin Maestro MG

E3Austin Maestro MG

May 10, 2019

Gus and Will go for the once-maligned Austin Maestro. The car they want to buy has already been sold but the seller has another - his own - on the driveway. Can they do a deal?

Suzuki SJ

E4Suzuki SJ

May 17, 2019

The guys wants to do a 4×4, but their dream list of cars is short as they can’t afford much on their budget. However, Will has a cunning plan, and steers them towards a friend’s Suzuki.

Morris Minor

E5Morris Minor

May 24, 2019

Skoda Estelle

E6Skoda Estelle

May 31, 2019

Gus and Will really want an 'Eastern Bloc' car to see whether those old Skoda jokes were deserved. Bidding low they win an orange Estelle - but how can they add any value to it?

Renault 5 Mk1

E7Renault 5 Mk1

Jun 7, 2019

Gus has his eye on a classic Renault 5 that's cheap and clean. Will isn't sure but Gus twists his arm. It's super-rare, and has little wrong with it - apart from a cooling issue that they can't see, let alone fix.

VW Beetle

E8VW Beetle

Jun 14, 2019

Gus and Will want to buy a legendary VW Beetle but the market proves to be far too rich for them. Eventually, they locate a project car which seems almost too good to be true at less than £1,000. After a disagreement on whether they should sell it for spare parts the boys crack on with some heavy wielding hoping to make the car look good enough to be sold as a restoration

Reliant Kitten

E9Reliant Kitten

Jun 21, 2019

Gus and Will find an orange Reliant Kitten that an engineer has given up on – the body is detached from the chassis, it doesn’t run and most of the bits it needs are in boxes in the boot. They seek out parts from garden-shed business and have interest in the rare car as soon as they’ve finished, but will it give them the profit they dream of?

Saab 99

E10Saab 99

Jun 28, 2019

In the final episode of the series, the boys want to buy a Scandinavian car, and settle on a Saab as they’ve never flipped one before. They want a classic 99 but the only one they can find is the older 99. The car was bought to use in a rally but can’t go the distance. But in Gus and Will’s hands, can it be improved?

Audi TT

E11Audi TT

Jan 16, 2020

Gus and Will find an Audi Quattro roadster that has seen better days. It has a lot of problems - the roof has stopped working and the ABS system has failed.

Rover

E12Rover

Jul 12, 2019

Gus and Will want to buy a classic Rover, but have to go for a Honda-based 800 coupe. At only £650 it seems too good to be true - and when they turn up, they aren't completely sure.

Citroen XM

E13Citroen XM

Jul 19, 2019

Gus has his eye on a Citroen XM that looks amazing - but it's in France. Will isn't sure, but the engineering challenges win him over.

Will Trickett and Gus Gregory hunt for neglected cars they can fix and flip for a profit. Any losses incurred by their flipping come out of their own pockets.

MGF

E1MGF

47m

Aug 11, 2022

Will and Gus’ quest for a “classic, iconic British sports car” leads them to what they judge to be the worst MGF in the country. Can they make it into the best in only five days?

Fiat 126

E2Fiat 126

47m

Aug 19, 2022

What do you buy if you like a classic Fiat but the 500 is out of your reach? Yep, a 126 is the car of choice and the one the team finds is rust-free but runs terribly.

Triumph Herald

E3Triumph Herald

46m

Aug 25, 2022

Mini Cooper

E4Mini Cooper

49m

Aug 26, 2022

Will Trickett and Gus Gregory hunt for neglected cars they can fix and flip for a profit. Any losses incurred by their flipping come out of their own pockets.

Rolls Royce

E5Rolls Royce

48m

Sep 1, 2022

When people talk about the appeal of the classic Rolls, they don't mean the one the team located in Yorkshire. This one was owned by a colourful character and had been sitting in a field for years.

Mercedes SLK

E6Mercedes SLK

50m

Sep 2, 2022

This once £35,000 car has been given up on. The previous owner can't get the roof to work or the car to run, so they are selling it. The car looks amazing - surely the car is a bargain?

VW Golf Mk1

E7VW Golf Mk1

48m

Sep 8, 2022

A golf like this is such a legend the guys instantly fall in love with it. But is it rusty? It looks tight, it seems good; it's only when they remove the wheel arch trims that the trust dawns.

Citroen 2CV

E8Citroen 2CV

47m

Sep 9, 2022

The boys take on a Citroen BX with no brakes, bad paintwork, and a rodent infestation. They have five days to fix it and flog it

Toyota Sera

E11Toyota Sera

49m

Sep 22, 2022

Gus and Will are in Kent to check out a Toyota MR2 offer; it's the cheapest one they've found in the UK and appears faultless.

Land Rover Freelander

E12Land Rover Freelander

48m

Sep 23, 2022

The four-wheel-drive Freelander was once Europe's most popular car. It looks good and runs well, but it failed the inspection on so many points that its owner gave up.
