I used to like the 'this is what might be wrong and how to fix it' approach of the early WD programs especially as they tended to concentrate on what many petrol heads would call 'fixer-uppers'. They definitely made the wrong decision when they went over the pond as they now have vehicles on that not many over here can relate to. Didnt Mike and Edd have a pre-WD program where Mike tried to find a second hand car for punters and Edd showed private sellers how to spruce up their cars that they couldn't sell. I remember him showing a bloke that cleaning the mud, dog hairs and rubbish out of his s1 Disco and giving it a wash made it more likely someone would but it....

One reason I won't watch US restoration shows is that they don't show much of the work. There's too much fluff.

As mentioned before, Mark Evan's "A ..... is Born" series were much better.

BTW, is Henry Cole's The Motorbike Show still on?

watched all the Mark Evans stuff while i was at uni, remember the first one on Discovery home and leisure, A car is born, with the cobra replica. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜
