“Mr Car Restorer” ? Hmm. Not quite a true statement since Edd China and Ant Anstey appear to do most of the restoration we see on TV, not counting the many unseen helpers no doubt involved. And they all work for free. Apparently. Much is glossed over (no pun intended) and is lightweight and superficial in detail of the restoration process. Still, it's TV and viewers are supposed to suspend belief when watching. Brewer supposedly finds the cars, strikes the deals (although my guess is that the cars 'find' him for the programme) and at times seems almost naïve with the details of the restorative process - certainly for the 'savvy wheeler dealer' he claims to be. And they are nearly always cars he had a poster of on his bedroom wall as a kid. Must have been a big room... As for the Camaro, in true wheeler dealer mode, it's just another piece of metal, a commodity and everything has its price. Dealers tend not to get attached to cars for the long term unless they really are collector models. Often they just use them for a while and then pass them on. I live near a dealer whose girlfriend changes her car regularly from his stock before its eventually moved on. WD was worth watching when it was UK-based but since it went to the US it's lost a lost of appeal, in my opinion. Read more

MGFs are very much underrated by the classic car market. I have a 2001 model, which was one of the last MGFs and has Hydragas suspension, giving it a comfortable ride with little or no roll on cornering. This puts it in a higher league of sports car than many of its contemporaries. I love it! Read more

I'm a 50 yr old kid and Iv just bought my first Corsa B after owning many Brands from BMW, Jaguar, Ford, Rover etc etc and to be fair it's the most fun Iv had in a long while in any car??, it's small, cramped and surprisingly nippy for a 970cc 3 banger! Originally bought as a stop gap to run into the ground whilst I have major work done on our main car but I instantly fell in love with it and replaced all running gear with new regardless of cost and intend to keep it as long as possible! Corsa B all the way yo?? Read more
I have a 1995 Corsa B SRi which I plan on selling.
Ideal easy project. One previous owner from new. Car starts and runs. I have owned the car for 15 years as the 2nd owner.
Looking for around £2k
Very few of these around now.
My Corsa has now sold. Lots of interest in it and I’m glad to see it’s gone to a genuine Corsa b enthusiast who collects these cars for himself
I am currently restoring my late uncles Vauxhall Carlton that's been in storage for many years. The car is in good condition - but i'm looking to protect the chassis. Is this the best paint for bare metal? https://www.frost.co.uk/por15-chassis-coat-black-paint-us-pint-473ml/ I've fully stripped and cleaned the chassis underbody last weekend.
Over a year ago, so the OP is unlikely to be interested, but for the record, I think I was a bit too polite about POR-15 above.
i.e. Americans are wrong....
The 20 valve version had no turbo fitted. The 2.0 20V was produced for export, and lacks the katalytic convertor. You'll enjoy 160 HP with an engine more suited to high revs, and sounds the best of all nineties! It's the last affordable small chassis quattro with some serious power. If you find one, buy it! Forget the heavvier coupe, they're more often abused and their coachwork is less stiff/rigid compared to the sedan. - B.Bergstein Read more
My mother had a 2.2E, silver 1986 and an amazing car. I often drove it, and recall looking in the drivers mirror at the side of the car, very sleek, and well made. Obviously not perfect, but overall a very pleasurable car, that I wouldn't mind driving today!

Agreed Les. Edd and Ant do all the work. Unless you subscribe to Discovery Channel in a package you can't even watch the newer Ant series in UK.
