Ted, did you watch Bangers & Cash this week? They sold two Mantas, one for over £18k! I had an immaculate Manta GTE until it got written off by a skip lorry who failed to stop and had a false plate😭.
I do agree with Nigel re: Car SOS. Fuzz Townsend is very skilled as both a mechanic and a drummer as are the guys at the restoration workshop. Tim used to get on my nerves but he's calmed down now. Glad to see they've dropped the three week deadline to hand the car back. The worst thing about SOS is the way they put old, pitted chrome back on to a lovely restored car!
I also like Salvage Hunters, I like Drew, he is honest and as Nigel states, he does praise skills. Paul is also a good laugh and tells Drew how it is👍

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
No but I'll hopefully watch it on catch up - Wendy had a very tidy GT/E in gold with the lovely gold wheels for several years. I always hankered for the  twin head lighted special edition was it the "Exclusive"?

I returned to the company that did the tank and they stated it was really only intended for in door use and for it to last out in all weathers they would have to put a clear coat over it. When it came back with the clear coat on it just looked silver/grey  :o

  Sadly, I reckoned that would be the case Graham.
Anyone watched the Richard Hammond classic car resto venture series .... The father and son mechanics are great. Reviews always seem to say that their garage is in Hertfordshire but pretty sure it's actually inu Herefordshire ..Ledbury ?
Flipping Bangers is also another one I watch but sadly only two series although I thought I heard talk of another one at a different workshop location.  ... just wish there was a bike equivalent of all of these programmes ... made in UK of course.
