Classic car rescue might be worth watching tonight on channel 5+1 9-10 pm. Restoring an old 500 and its worth after much work done on it. Enjoy.

I have set it to record

Why not watch it on Ch.5 at 8PM? Am I missing something, is it me as TW would say?


The guys who present this programme are quite funny. However, I would imagine they would not be to every ones taste.

I have to say I never understand the attraction of the original 500

What a turd of a car.

Dunno about that; Looked quite nicely done apart from the alloys.

Better than the E-Type they did leaving the crappy Halfords pop-up sunroof in.

Cheap sunroof, cheap retrim, no work on the suspension?

Just like it left the factory then

Panel fit looked terrible. The gap between bonnet and body was all over the place. Bunch of cowboys.

It was a cheap, gutless mass produced vehicle. Things have come a long way since then (fortunately)

No, I refer to the example they "restored"
