Salvage Squad

Episode 1

Amphicar

Claire Barratt and Suggs restore one of the few remaining Amphicars, a Sixties sports car designed to float on water. This unusual vehicle has been gathering dust in a barn for 20 years, but with the aid of custom car enthusiast Lance McCormack, the engineers set out to return it to working order, and put it to the test by driving 150 miles up the Thames. Suggs also takes a look at the aquatic automobile's history from its Nazi origins to its dangerous Channel crossings.
