Bangers & Cash: Restoring Classics

The team have a 1970 Toyota Celica GT in desperate need of a makeover and their second car, an 80s Midas, is so tiny that just getting to the interior is a challenge.

About the programme: The new series, Bangers & Cash: Restoring Classics, will follow the journey of a vehicle purchased at a Mathewsons classic car auction, before being repaired, restored and then re-auctioned in order to try and find the vehicle a new home and loving owner.

The first series started on Thursday 21 July 2022 and will see vehicles such as a 1980s Vauxhall Astra GTE whose hot hatch days look long behind it, a MG Montego Turbo with its engine in the boot, and a rare Lotus Elan S1 that hasn't seen a road for 47 years. The team also revisit some old favourites from previous series of Bangers & Cash.
