Seasons
Phil and Ant look back at 12 weeks hard labour working on iconic motors like the Aston Martin DBS, Fiat 500 and VW Beetle, and then they head for the auction house.
Philip Glenister and Ant Anstead go on a road trip from Bristol to Devon in a VW camper van. They also restore a VW Beetle for auction and meet a Citroën 2CV collector.
Philip looks at the Ford Transit, the revolutionary van as big as a lorry that drove like a car, and other motoring workhorses.
Phil fulfils a dream driving the Volvo P1800 from Roger Moore's iconic 60s TV show The Saint. And he goes for a spin on one of Scotland's most treacherous, winding roads.
Philip and Ant explore the world of micro and bubble cars, restoring a Fiat 500 and risking life and limb driving a tiny 1960 Messerschmitt in rush hour traffic.
Philip and Ant celebrate 80s boy racer hatchbacks and city run-arounds - like the Golf GTi and Peugeot 205 - as they race to turn one into a rally car.
It's full-on cop drama as Philip Glenister fulfils a high-octane dream to drive some of Britain's most iconic police cars. And a Rover SD1 is restored.
