Classic Car Garage

Colin brings a rare Ford Zephyr into the 21st Century, a VW Beach Buggy is tuned by ear, a Jaguar XJS has a novel way of keeping the bonnet open and a E-Type Jag gets supersized air filters.

Colin invites the members of London's Waterloo Classics car club into the Classic Car Garage, as they prepare their cars to attend an unusual new event that celebrates original and unrestored vehicles, the inaugural Patina classic car show, in the grounds of Lullingstone Castle in Kent. In the garage Colin ropes Mark in to help sort out some intermittent headlights on a British-made Standard Super 10 from 1956. Amand wrestles with a rare 1980s vintage Vauxhall Viceroy that's having bonnet troubles and the speedometer of a Mercedes 220 SE poses a costly conundrum.

Today the team are joined by bodywork expert Gary, who helps a Ferrari F355 owner get her car gleaming for an exclusive event, and Colin ropes Mark in to locate a leak on a Mercedes 230. Amand helps brothers Matt and Dave get their late-father's lopsided 1968 Jaguar MKII straightened up; Nick inspires a novice fixer who is having issues with the locking mechanism on their 1989 Porsche 944's boot; and Mark looks to liven up a 1966 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia's lazy windscreen wipers.

As a busy classic car season draws to a close, the team at the Classic Car Garage have one last fixing session, before the mechanics pull down the garage shutters, hang up their overhauls and don their finest vintage attire to see the year out in style at the Goodwood Revival event. Today the team welcomes back some familiar faces but with different fenders. Colin gives his friend and fellow Triumph Stag owner, Richard, the lowdown on the troublesome drop-top on his 1978 model; Nick helps a 1951 Jowett Javelin owner, Don, with his intermittent horn's degraded wiring. And garage regular Darren brings in an electrified 1965 Austin-Healey 3000 MKIII that he's looking to flog at the Goodwood Revival, but will classic car purist Colin be an electric convert or be producing more fumes than the Healey ever did?
