Anyone with a passion for classic British cars should enjoy this series. Each series chooses, locates and then lovingly restores six classic British Family or Sports cars (once an early series Land Rover). The individual example of each vehicle is often selected (purchased) because of its interesting history.
There are also observations regarding some of the notoriously unreliable models; such as the Triumph 'Stag'. These are sometimes put to the test on the fully restored vehicle. In the case of the Triumph 'Stag' it was demonstrated, by extensive testing, that the car was very well designed and engineered. If properly assembled the 'Stag' would have been highly reliable i.e. its problems were caused by poor assembly practices and vehicles were passed out of the factory without proper quality control. The 'Stag' is now a much sort after prized classic. {I can't wait for the Triumph TR7 - I had one, and the TR7 had a similar reputation to that of the 'Stag'!!}
The final act (at series end) is to place each restored vehicle at Auction (some would call this act the low point of the series and a betrayal).
