Mike and Ant finally get their hands on the greatest British sports cars never to have been built in Britain, a 1969 Datsun Roadster. It's handsome, fun to drive and prone to breaking down.

The 2006 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S is a performance SUV with lots of horsepower and potentially daunting repair bills. Ant grapples with a number of issues, but all his hard work could be for naught if Mike has to replace the calipers for $5,000 rather than simply repair them.
S19 · E5A Lotta Miata 2020-09-23 · 45 min
Mike and Ant turn their attention to a rare 2004 MX-5 Mazdaspeed, the only turbocharged version of the car Americans know as a Miata. The good news is it drives like it's been strapped to a rocket, the bad news is that it's noisy, leaky and desperately in need of some cosmetic TLC.

S20 · E1Some Like It Fiat 2020-12-22 · 45 min
Mike and Ant welcome to the workshop a 1974 Fiat X1/9, a zippy little mid-engine sports car with superb balance and a distinctive paint color. It's a perfect entry-level classic car.

S20 · E3Travelall Around the World 2021-01-05 · 45 min

S20 · E4Send in the Clown Shoe 2021-01-12 · 45 min

Mike and Ant turn around a 1965 Dodge Coronet 500 that's a high-horsepower veteran of the drag strip. But all that power under the bonnet makes for a violent driving experience, so they must dial it back to a more useable street cruiser.
S20 · E7Fine and Landy 2021-02-02 · 45 min
Mike's found an icon of British motoring, a 1976 Land Rover Series III that looks like it just came from a safari. Even better, this diesel workhorse is one of the few registered in California.
