Expert car trader Mike Brewer and star mechanic Edd China have a job on their hands, getting a TVR and restoring it all for £5000.

The TVR S is unmistakable, brutal, basic and British - a real driver’s car.

With help from TVR members clubs Mike is told about a good looking TVR on an auction website, but not wanting to bid blind he takes the long trip up to Yorkshire to see it. Liking what he sees he books himself into a local hotel and gets straight on his computer to make the winning bid of £2550.

With car in hand he begins the drive back to the workshop but it’s not the smooth drive he was hoping for. As the miles drag on Mike finds out more than just basic maintenance needs to be done to this car.
