samfiestaperv Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Did anyone see this? I've never watched it before but happened to catch tonight's episode about a Ford Anglia. Not sure how I feel about it, car looked amazing when finished, but wasn't restored or mods sensitively, I don't think, but can't quite make my mind up, would've liked to see recovered seats, but keep originals, not quite sure on colour (too much like my mk4 to be vintage or modern? Is in mind) what di you think???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samfiestaperv Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share Posted July 7, 2014 They did a 1986 cosworth last episode apparently :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandyCat Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I think the Cossie was the first one then the Jeep was the last one and the Anglia the latest one. All very good jobs to be fair. The lad with the Anglia seemed very underwhelmed though which sort of took the shine off it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samfiestaperv Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share Posted July 7, 2014 Tbh never seen it before last night, checked it out on tinterweb and cossie seemed to come up as last episode, probably on re-runs anyway, sure you're right. Great job on car it did look great, just thought it was a long way from original, but to be fair it wasn't actually the original car! I agree super underwhelmed, I get the impression he would've been more excited by a little corsa or a punto, think poor kid was predisposed to be a Ford anglia enthusiast without the enthusiasm! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdeMk1 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Needed bigger wheels & a nice Cosworth engine in there! Bet he struggled to insure it though with it being modified & having a 1700 modified engine. I reckon he ended up with his dad's standard one & his Dad nicked that one off him!

Philf1 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 I've watched the whole series. The idea is they take the car without the owner knowing do it up and then hand it back. The cossie was handed back at ford fair, last year I think. The anglia was too far gone so the lad didn't get his own car back but the family are anglia nuts and all have them. I can't make my mind up about series overall they don't really show enough of the restoration process, it's never gonna beat wheeler dealers and the big man!

FOCA Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Yes - a lot of these programmes are "dumbed down" for the general public because the producers think if it gets too technical we won't understand it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
