Bangers & Cash: Restoring Classics

A sun-bleached red Vauxhall Astra GTE gives the team a headache. They also buy a classic French moped and catch up on the restoration of a barn find Mini Cooper S.

The team gamble on restoring a Vanden Plas saloon from the 1970s and a child's tricycle from the 1960s. Plus, catch up on the restoration of a rare Sunbeam Lotus.

Derek encourages the team to buy a Francis Barnett Plover at auction. Plus, the wheels come off the restoration of an MG Metro.

Derek thinks a 29,000-mile Ford Capri should be kept original. Plus, a Hercules women's racing bike from the '50s.

Derek picks out a solid-looking 1969 MGB for the team to look out for at auction. After winning it is sent to a father-and-son team to restore.

Dave alerts the team's to a 1979 Lotus Esprit S3. It's an expensive buy and a serious risk, but it's also a thoroughbred classic in need of a proper recommission.
