It was available as part of a Sky subscription, but as it’s now owned by Disney+, it seems to be getting hawked around. 

I would have liked to see the programme “live”, but happy to settle for seeing it at a later date on youtube etc 😎

Be great if it gets recorded and put on youtube. Looks like a proper bare metal job .

Yep can confirm as been involved with the filming of the show with a select group of Corrado Club Nutters too which was filmed on the Cat & Fiddle in Early September last year. 🙂 We all had to keep quiet about it until now lol!

Really looking forward to the show and really hope they use some of the excellent footage they used like on the opening credits on the Fiat Uno Episode on the 10th

I'm sure Fuzz appreciated your input Kip! Plus seeing your absolutely astounding car would give the guys a target

The car had pretty much already been done before we met up for our input to the show. They did say it would have been good to do it the other way round though lol!

Was it just me, or was anyone else a tad underwhelmed by the episode. Literally no detail around anything that was done. Considering how much was done, it could’ve had the a whole series just for the Corrado. I mean, going from the standard engine to a turbo onto the standard engine, to blowing up two turbos, and then as if by magic, a totally different engine swap overnight. I love the program, but so disappointed.

They halved the content, doubled the waffle - it might be a covid thing, the production co also wanted more programs, there's another series after this one.

 

Its not just this one, the previous episode of this series were also a but thin on real content IMO

Call me boring but I liked the Top Gear programmes from the 80s and 90s with car facts - at least the guy who was really unwell got has car to point where he can save it - he has been putting correct all the bits they have done- the dye is all ready coming off the storm seats and many other things - but of course his happy as they spent 30 k on the car apparently but the car is bodged apparently  - the car was wrecked pre renovation with mods and bodge electrics- well yes could of purchased x2 mint corrado off the bat with that but I suppose its about making entertainment . Pointless comment by Tim dissing the VR6 engine to. I would of liked to of seen an original car turned back to its original glory as that is the venture most are on and could relate with. 

My favourite car channel is this German guy- its BMW but he is spot on- totally recommend

 

https://www.youtube.com/c/M539Restorations/videos He goes over to Spain a lot buying cars there are some good bargains over there.

I’ve been watching him for a bit. Entertaining and informative 

I really look forward to his episodes - does a good 1hr and it seems like 5 minutes his that good- felt bad for him when he crashed that early 3 series but glad to see it didnt dent his confidence. That early M car I think he saw in Spain with crash damage  the first ever production one minus the M1 is it - that era of BMW is just stunning . Ive been looking at the E36 M3 couple of years back and they have seemed to of doubled - the ones with the Vader recaro is it- love that era of Germanic design.

Have not seen it yet so cannot comment and from the comments above its not great 

On youtube i watch Italia autos with a guy called Neil - Alfa / Fiat specialist - always good content and plenty of rust!!

Also have watched M539 - seems to like BMW least favourite engine (V8) Car wizard hates the sight of them (oil leaks) - but great content and detail.

It was entertaining, not enough detail,
Nowhere as good as the wheeler dealer episode, but very much a watch for the enthusiast
