Absolutely - but these restoration shows make me recall how much I miss doing something as simple as changing my own oil. And, on these shows, they do some good. Guy who used to rallye bought a GTI to do up, then got bone cancer. The guys fixed up the car for auction (as a rallye car) so they could give the guy the money. Then his father-in-law snuck into the auction, bought the car, and handed the guy the title. I lost it.

I’m pretty sure Ant Anstead is a wizard.

Sure he has a staff and people to do things for him, but he makes the decisions and is responsible for the end results. And those results are astonishing. Especially that DBS, if you haven’t seen it. Just ... wow.

he’s a hands on with the show at least, which makes me think he’s still hands on with the Evanta bespoke and customer cars.
I’ve only seen the first two eps of the new season. I like that the focus this season seems to be about restoring cars and giving the profits back to the owners. DBS aside... and I wonder if that was cause they spent their whole car budget in the first episode.

If you mean SSN 3, I don’t think we have that in US America yet.

nah season two, all of them except the DBS are given to Ant for $0 and the profit they make on the auction goes to the owner. I’ve only seen the DBS ep and the Rover SD1 police car eps so far, but they made a big point of the owner of the Rover getting the profits.. and have read that they keep that up for the rest of the season.
