Motor Shed Squad

In an emotional journey, the team races to bring an ex-rally Ford Cortina Mk1 back after 20 years off the road, so the family can raise funds for the medical care of its former driver. And a Peugeot 306 GTi hot hatch has its driver appeal restored.

A Dodge Charger, used to raise money on charity drives, gets a complete interior transformation and engine work to help it roar back onto the road. The team also gives a globetrotting VW Baja desert racer a new lease on off-road life.

A social media star Mini has lost its shine, with a damaged seat, dodgy suspension and unreliable engine. The whole team focuses on the repairs, but they also have their hands full with a vintage Jaguar which can't steer or brake.

A VW buggy is off the road with shaky steering and a gearbox that's too stiff to select a gear; the workshop also grapples with a Fast Ford that suffered a bad rear-end shunt and needs bodywork and a respray.

Can a Triumph Herald with terrible bodywork be saved from the crusher by cutting out the rust and giving it a full respray? A BMW convertible has been off the road for years and the team go all-out to get it ready again for top-down fun.

The Bentley tourer is a British icon, but good looks and performance are no use if the brakes fail and the electrics are faulty; a Leyland Princess completes the car royalty in the workshop, and needs a full engine conversion to run unleaded fuel.
