About Bangers & Cash: Restoring Classics
The new series, Bangers & Cash: Restoring Classics, will follow the journey of a vehicle purchased at a Mathewsons classic car auction, before being repaired, restored and then re-auctioned in order to try and find the vehicle a new home and loving owner. The first series started on Thursday 21 July 2022 and will see vehicles such as a 1980s Vauxhall Astra GTE whose hot hatch days look long behind it, a MG Montego Turbo with its engine in the boot, and a rare Lotus Elan S1 that hasn't seen a road for 47 years. The team also revisit some old favourites from previous series of Bangers & Cash.
