Win a Classic Car- Contestants Needed For Rebuild TV Pilot

 

We are piloting a new competitive, classic car rebuild TV show called ‘Build It, Start It, Keep It’ for a major UK broadcaster, and we need contestants.

 

Have you and two mates got the basic mechanical skills to rebuild a car?

 

If you can build it and start it before the other team do, you will get to keep it!

 

For the pilot we are looking for contestants with a passion for classic cars such as Paddy Hopkirk Mini’s, MGB’s, Beetles etc.

Do you have a personal story as to why you want to win the car?

Do you want to win the car for a family member or friend?

Are you outgoing and up for a challenge?

Do you want to put your mechanical skills to the ultimate test by competitively rebuilding a car, head to head in one day?

Are you free October 28^th & 29^th?

If so I’d love to hear from you, please email me a bit about yourself, your potential team and why you’d like to win the car.

Please feel free to share this with anyone you feel might be interested in the show

If you haven't got a working title for this show yet can i suggest....  A Bodgers Guide: How To Slap A Car Together.

Are you sure TV researcher is the right job for you if you chose us?

Teasing aside, it sounds like a decent idea, but googling produces no evidence that this is legit. Beware of offering any personal information.

It all seems to be legit - it just seems like a really bad idea.

Pistonheads didn't waste any time on the concept & pulled it off their site.

MINI2 someone had a rant that car parts are manufactured to only last 40-70K.... & then they really went off at a tangent!

Should've thought of linkedin 

 

Don't we expect telly progs on classic cars to be a bit gimmicky - the two naturally work on entirely different time scales. Still, I liked Scrapheap Challenge and I liked Wheeler Dealers, Classic Car Rescue....erm

Unprofessional, first post from someone we haven't hear of with an email address to contact...smells like SPAM.

What are "Paddy Hopkirk minis" ?

Bit of a joke if this is legit

Just checked out his Linkedin profile his experience appears varied to say the least     for his top billing of an incident involving an ex associate of David Beckham!
