Once Europe's most popular 4x4, the Freelander looks good, drives well and is a perfect vehicle for FB as future values are set to rise. This one has failed the MOT test on so many items, the owner has thrown in the towel. It's cheap but a challenge.

Season 3, 12 episodes

season 3 (12 episodes)

The team find the worst MGF in the country. The car doesn't drive but it's a cheap way into a quick British sporty ragtop. With serious leaks and wings that have faded so much they are pink the boys quickly discover that a cheap car is cheap for a reason.

The 126 is the new target of the team and the one they find is rust-free but runs terribly. What starts out as a simple task to replace a gasket turns into a huge nightmare.

Triumph Herald,

The Herald is a great entry-level classic and this one only has 2 owners and 50K miles. It's also undriving, stuck in a barn. If the duo can address it's engine, fuel, braking and gearbox then it'll be a gem. But it's a big IF.

The team know the BMW Mini is good and popular. But there are so many of them, it's hard to make one which stands out and will make money. The donor car for this ep is a car that overheats.

When people talk about the quality and appeal of the classic Rolls they don't mean the one the team locate in Yorkshire. This one was owned by a colourful character and has been sitting in a field for years. It looks awful, but it's cheap.

This once thirty thousand pound car has been given up on. The previous owner can't get the roof to work or the car to run, so they are selling it. The car looks amazing – surely the car is a bargain?

A Golf like this is such a legend the guys instantly fall in love with it. But is it rusty? It looks tight, it seems good. It's only when they remove the wheel arch trims that the sad truth dawns. It's very rusty. Oh dear.

The guys are looking for a French car that's not a 2CV as they are expensive and rusty. But once they come across this one, it's impossible to turn it down. Yes, it's rusty. Yes it's pricey, but the car has a big heart.

Gus and Will are after a classic BMW but Gus insists on a classic Audi that has caught his eye and forces it on Will. But it's the start of a joint love affair as the Audi's great engine and style wins them over.

Everyone wants a classic Ford so the team target the Orion as it's probably the last one that's affordable. This one is definitively cheap but the steering wheel is on the wrong side, it's 9 shades of blue and registered in Portugal.

The Sera is a concept car for the road. It's also extremely rare and the guys find one that's driving but not in the way they need. Is the famed Japanese engineering in place here or have we bought a lemon?
