MGF
The team find the worst MGF in the country, looking a mess on a retail forecourt. The car doesn't drive but it's a cheap way into a quick sporty British ragtop.
Episode 2

Herald
The Herald is a great entry-level classic and this one has only had 2 owners and low mileage. It's also not being driven, stuck in a barn.

Episode 6
Mercedes SLK230
This once £35,000 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?

Land Rover Freelander
The four-wheel-drive Freelander was once Europe's most popular car. It looks good and runs well, but it failed the inspection on so many points that its owner gave up.
