I might fire off a wee email, i have a fairly decent sob story and a 1962 Vauxhall Velox sitting rotting to death :(

In it's former glory :( My Dad just lost interest in it and now he's too old/sick to do anything with it, `He used to use it for wedding and the like but it's not seen the road in about 15 years. Poor thing.

North One Television (www.northonetv.com) producers of Speed With Guy Martin, The Gadget Show and Fifth Gear has been commissioned by ITV1 to make a brand new UK primetime car restoration show and we’re looking for couples to take part.



We want to help you return your much loved motor to the open road … but there’s a catch. We want your partner to roll up her sleeves and get stuck-in as well!

So ladies, if you've had enough of listening to your partner's excuses and you’re sick of seeing that clapped out motor in the garage, then now's the time to take matters into your own hands. And gents... the time has come to admit defeat and let your better half come to the rescue of your rusting relic.



If this interests you and you're keen to be on TV please get in touch via email (below), with details of the car including a picture, a paragraph about yourselves and why you deserve to be on the show.

If you are successful we will then be in contact and tell you more about the programme and how it will all work.

Didn't go down well with female forum members :eye:


Its all over the net .. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=car.r ... honetv.com

If any one wants to find out if this is a wind up , north one's Phone number :0121 697 1900

Hope its not, uk tv needs cars from the 80's 90's and 2000's to get there own resto/mod show :thumleft:
