How the Eff did Adam get a Grand National for 5k?

they can be had for $5k, not in the condition like you pictures. Barely running and needs bodywork for $5k maybe.

Haven't watched but it might have a shot turbo and a dying autotragic.

Don't forget they paint the cars before shooting. while it may look good on film in real life it's probably full of runs and overspray. by no means do they do a professional paint job just an extremely quick re-spray. I remember the guy that had bought the top gear Merkur said the paint was shit.

Really? I had no idea. The thing looked HQ wet black on camera.

It's true. The Merkur was actually either black or grey before Top Gear got their hands on it.

It just seems weird to me. If you're gonna do a $5k challenge, the cars are probably gonna gonna look like crap. Everyone knows it. I can see putting on new tires and brakes (stuff that will stop you from getting killed in the car) paint just seems like it should be lower on the list.
