The rust busters , Mike and Edd, are at it again. This time they in for a tough search to find a Vee Dub Type 2. Mike finds it more difficult than he thought to find a dream wagon to work on. Has this project gotten him beat?
Original plan was to purchase and restore a Type 2. T3 works van converted to mini mobile home. First use of a full-body vinyl wrap instead of a respray. First diesel engine in the series. Bought by Edd, largest loss in the series.
Mike is on the trail of a full blooded Italian hot hatch. A car that has a grin factor every time you approach a corner or pull away at traffic lights.
At first glance, this car looks like an ordinary 190E but look again and there is a subtle body kit which gives it a lower, aggressive line. Inside is pure class with wall to wall leather with Ricaro seats that hug you in all the right places.
Mike is on a mission of a cult car who's roots are in the 60s, launched in the 80s and still in production today. You guessed it, it is the Mazda MX-5.
Mike showed a selling technique by buying the car in the winter and selling the car during the more sunnier months to capitalize on the convertible aspects of the car.
Mike shows how to find, fettle and then sell on a great 70s super car. The Porsche 928 is a classic GT car, a grand tourer, designed to get you from London to Edinburgh in time for afternoon tea.
