Peter wants a Triumph Herald Convertible, exactly like the one his father bought for him when he first learned to drive. But now rare, and often in poor condition, will £9k be enough for Sheldon to find a good one? Sheldon manages to track down a very original car, with just three previous owners on the logbook, but even before he gets it into the workshop, he loses all the gears. On top of that there is a serious oil leak coming from the rear axle which means the differential has got to come out, and it turns out that split windows in the original hood, cannot be replaced and bodywork expert Peter is going to be left struggling to replace the entire roof. With costs mounting, will all the work payoff, or will Sheldon and Peter be left empty handed?

Sheldon and Peter are faced with a genuine motoring conundrum. Client Steve is desperate to recreate his first ever car – a Ford Anglia 105e with a 1.5-litre engine. The trouble is, Anglias only came with a 1-litre or 1.3-litre engine, meaning Sheldon must source not only a car but also a replacement power plant. Finding an entirely new engine for a 1966 Anglia is no mean feat, let alone fitting one, so Sheldon needs to tap into the Anglia community for help.
Sheldon and Peter face one of their biggest jobs to date. Triumph enthusiast David already has several Brit classics but desperately wants a Dolomite Sprint to complete his collection.
Sheldon and Peter are tasked with helping client Brian realise a motoring dream some fifty years in the making.That dream comes in the form of a Ford Capri Mark 1.
Can Sheldon and Peter deliver an automatic Reliant Scimitar GTE for a fellow classic car enthusiast who's recovering from spinal surgery? Sheldon and Peter are given a very specific brief. Client Max has had major spinal surgery that's left him unable to drive manual cars. For Max to indulge his passion for classic cars, an automatic gearbox is a must have for the Reliant Scimitar GTE that he wants Sheldon to find. After a lengthy search, Sheldon tracks down a likely automatic Scimitar, but then things take a turn for the worse. Having stalled several times on the way back to the workshop, the guys discover that the all-important auto-box is leaking oil and will need to come out. The race is on to get the Scimitar running smoothly and changing gear seamlessly, before Sheldon can even think about the complicated wiring for an immobiliser alarm or Pete can start work on the tatty bumpers.
Sheldon and Peter are tasked with the ultimate automotive challenge - a classic car that's reliable enough for everyday use. They take on the first ever European Car of the Year, a Rover P6. Sheldon and Peter are challenged to track down the ultimate automotive unicorn. Client John wants a Rover P6 that's reliable enough to use as his everyday runabout. When Sheldon finds a car that's within budget, reliability does not come as standard.
Sheldon and Peter have their work cut out as they try to source and restore a Porsche 944 for retired newsagent Ozzie. Retired newsagent Ozzie wants to be transported back to the early 90s in the Porsche 944 that he hopes Peter and Sheldon can deliver. Unfortunately, iconic sports cars do not come cheap and when Sheldon eventually finds a Porsche within budget, it comes complete with a steering rack that's leaking hydraulic fluid and perished driveshaft oil seals. Porsche parts also come at a premium price, so it's going to be a struggle to turn a profit. With the mechanical work dragging on, Peter is fighting the clock to complete an interior trim job that simply can't be rushed. Have the guys finally met their match?
