Classic Cars

Settle in for another ride through the past, as we slip behind the wheel of a spectacular American classic sports car, the Corvette; and take a close look at a racy Italian Lamborghini Miura. We slide on the overalls to see how an old girl, the Morris 8/40, still runs on the road after all these years.

Back in the Sixties, when London Town was swinging to the sounds of Sixties sensations The Rolling Stones and The Beatles, one car stood out as an icon of that era - the Mini Cooper S. Also on the show - a very rare, and unusual Italian GT car, that is a real head turner - the Lancia Flaminia GTL.

Ease off the throttle, lie back the seat, and switch yourself into cruise control... in this episode we discover some hidden power in the classic English roadster - the MGB V8. We also look at a great way to get yourself a sought after Morris Mini Cooper.

Put your seat belt on, and slip into gear, as we drive off on another road-trip that is Classic Cars. In this episode, discover what happened in the 1950's when three classics were combined into one car... the Chrysler Royal. We meet the Morris Minor, a bubbly vehicle conceived to combine the superior handling and stylish roomy interior of a quality motorcar.

In this episode we get under the hood of a 1959 Chrysler Royal, to find out what you need to do to keep it on the road. We take the much loved English MGA open top roadster for a spin, find a classic of tomorrow - the Sunbeam Alpine - for budding budget car buyers, and feature top down convertible cruising with both MX5 and Mustang features.

So sit back and get ready to cruise as we take a spin, in this unusual Italian coupe, the Alfa Romeo Junior Z. We get behind the wheel of this very rare British sports car, the Lea Francis UK; plus a comeback Classic of Tomorrow - the Chevrolet Camaro Convertible. Also on the show, we discover a private collection so big it's a car museum; and we look at the Maserati Merak.

Relax in your comfy chair and put your feet up, as we go for a cruise in an incredible road yacht, the Chevrolet Impala, that has been lovingly taken care of. We look at the Lotus Europa - a small but impressive English sports car with a famous reputation.

Another journey through yesteryear, this episode discovers a sporty Triumph and Italian Sports Sedan. Alfa Romeo features for its reputation as a designer and builder of unique road cars, including the 105/115 Series Coupes. A passionate car collection, limited only by garage space, is unveiled. The Classic of Tomorrow could well be the BMW Series 6 Cabrio.

Get set for a ride in a Spyder, not the creepy type, but the sporty Alfa Romeo Roadster. A real driver's car, the Spyder combines style, design and performance. Who best to test drive our "Classic of Tomorrow" but Lewis Hamilton and Jensen Button - discover their performance in the McLaren MP4 - 12C. We feature the E-type Drophead Coupe, a fast, smooth, sleek jaguar.

Car restoration does not just happen - it requires some homework, talking with experts, constructing a plan and of course, having a budget. Triumphs were considered quite modern for their era and we take a look at a 1955 TR2, a 2000 MD Saloon, and a 1969 2500 Pi Sedan.

Few cars evoke the kind of emotions that a classic British Mg Tc midget roadster induces, with its nod to the early beginnings of open top motoring. Get the real deal on classic Porsche 911's in our buyer's guide. We go automotive treasure hunting, and blow the dust off some classics, as we talk about the coveted "Barn Find".

Prepare yourself for another journey into the world of Classic Cars. We get behind the wheel of a quirky French Classic, the Citroen 2 CV. Italy is synonymous with design, and the car industry is no exception. Designs such as the 1965 Lancia Flaminia GTL, the Maserati Merak, the Alfa Romeo 105/115 Series Coupes and the Lamborghini are fine examples of Italian style.

In this show, we meet a classic German with some very smooth lines - the Volkswagen Karmann Ghia. We take a look at an English roadster with some classic credibility, inside and out - the Jensen Healey. Also on the show - is that a time machine coming our way? No it's the DMC Delorian!
