Ant Anstead: Born Mechanic

Ant finds a Mark1 Capri which may have a hidden secret. Advertised as a GXL, Ant suspects it's a more desirable GT. Despite sloppy steering, and rust, he gambles on it. And Ant's girlfriend Renee Zellweger surprises him with a cool addition for the home.

Ant and his dad uncover a stunning 1963 Morris Minor Traveller, but there's one problem. There's no engine in it! Ant's mechanical mate Duncan is not impressed. Meanwhile Ant's farmhouse is in serious danger of collapse due to rotting beams.

Ant haggles with a 91-year-old Italian Nonna to get an imported 1970 Fiat 500, but it's full of faults. It won't start, overheats, leaks, and steers badly. Despite that, it's amore for Ant. Meanwhile, rising costs force Ant to DIY the farmhouse floor.

Ant takes on a tired old 1972 VW beach buggy that needs an overhaul to get it beach ready. But will Ant's 'rad' design put off prospective buyers? And at the farmhouse, Ant gets plastering the bedroom, and realises how much work needs to be done.

Ant finds a rare 1978 TVR Taimar in an Oxfordshire Garden. Despite oil leaks, dodgy paint and a missing heater box, he's hooked. But when Dad splurges on parts, it strains the budget. And Ant races to finish the living room floor but will Mum approve?

Duncan talks a reluctant Ant into buying a 1991 BMW 30 325i, convinced there's profit to be made. But it's a broken automatic, it's a bland white, and it's been neglected. Will Ant be converted? Meanwhile Ant races to finish the hallway of the farmhouse.

Ant falls in love with a 1929 Austin 7, one of his favourite cars ever. But with brake issues, and poor lights, has he followed his heart not his head? Meanwhile, it's all hands on deck with the house restoration as the deadline for moving in day looms.

Ant rescues a 1971 Mk1 Ford Transit that was once a German fire engine, but it won't start. Figuring out why becomes a real head scratcher. Meanwhile, with two weeks until Ant's parents are due to move into the farmhouse, disaster strikes.
