About this season
The programme follows petrol head friends, Will Trickett and GT Porsche photographer, Gus Gregory, as they fix and 'flip' neglected old cars for a profit. Having ditched their day jobs to trade in the cars that people avoid, they're risking it all as any losses will come out of their own pockets. To cover any overheads, they must double their return on every pound invested in the vehicles they buy.

5. Morris Minor
Aired 24 May 2019

6. Skoda Estelle
Aired 31 May 2019

7. Renault 5 Mk1
Aired 7 June 2019
Gus has his eye on a classic Renault 5 that's cheap and clean. Will isn't sure but Gus twists his arm. It's super-rare, and has little wrong with it - apart from a cooling issue that they can't see, let alone fix.
8. VW Beetle
Aired 14 June 2019
Gus and Will want to buy a legendary VW Beetle but the market proves to be far too rich for them. Eventually, they locate a project car which seems almost too good to be true at less than £1,000. After a disagreement on whether they should sell it for spare parts the boys crack on with some heavy wielding hoping to make the car look good enough to be sold as a restoration
9. Reliant Kitten
Aired 21 June 2019
Gus and Will find an orange Reliant Kitten that an engineer has given up on – the body is detached from the chassis, it doesn’t run and most of the bits it needs are in boxes in the boot. They seek out parts from garden-shed business and have interest in the rare car as soon as they’ve finished, but will it give them the profit they dream of?
10. Saab 99
Aired 28 June 2019
In the final episode of the series, the boys want to buy a Scandinavian car, and settle on a Saab as they’ve never flipped one before. They want a classic 99 but the only one they can find is the older 99. The car was bought to use in a rally but can’t go the distance. But in Gus and Will’s hands, can it be improved?
11. Audi TT
Aired 16 January 2020
Gus and Will find an Audi Quattro roadster that has seen better days. It has a lot of problems - the roof has stopped working and the ABS system has failed.
12. Rover
Aired 12 July 2019
Gus and Will want to buy a classic Rover, but have to go for a Honda-based 800 coupe. At only £650 it seems too good to be true - and when they turn up, they aren't completely sure.
13. Citroen XM
Aired 19 July 2019
Gus has his eye on a Citroen XM that looks amazing - but it's in France. Will isn't sure, but the engineering challenges win him over.
