Had the misfortune of seeing that episode...ranted the entire way through it.. bodgy mcbodgface.....

But still probably slightly better than the WD wrap over rust effort....

Always wonder how much Bernie hams it up for TV.. if he turned up at mine with that attitude the big FO would be deployed.....

Surely the researchers could have found a better resto candidate than that!!!

very cringey , but some moments make me laugh . I suppose they make these shows like this so every idiot can watch it.

Trashed a nice original Mk3 and the Mk4, or later, they pushed off the flatbed.

Who do they appeal to, who would want to watch this? I can only assume its aimed at young age group market.

I've a suspicion it could be us. Take away the poking fun and feeling dismay and/or outrage and it come a poor second to the Teletubbies for content.

My quote below from when this was first shown on TV back in 2012:-

 

"It started out as a 1975 Mini with no indicator wing repeaters then when it went on the truck to go to the bodyshop it had holes in both wings for repeaters and 12" wheels........then it came back without repeater holes and on 10" wheels....... :lol: "

It looked trashed to me before they pushed it off, I pity anyone who buys a "restoration" from these fools

It did look like it had been stacked in a scrap yard. Obviously not the same car, was it in for the slapstick trailer stunt or the dodgy and somewhat irresponsible roof cut 'n shut repair?
