Philip Glenister and Ant Anstead return for a one-off special as the boys decide to restore a Lotus Elite - a classic of 1950s British motoring and the first road car designed and built by Formula 1 genius Colin Chapman. Ant unearths a gem in Stoke - a unique green Elite that was the prototype model for the 100 production Elites that followed. The car was displayed at the Earls Court motor show in 1958 and first owned by jazz musician Chris Barber. It's an important car, and Philip and Ant agree to sink their own hard earned cash into its restoration. Before auctioning the vehicle, they plan to get it back out on the race track at the Tourist Trophy at Silverstone - the biggest classic car event of the year - meaning Phil and Ant risk the car being damaged, or even written off in the race. Featuring interviews with Chris Barber and Nigel Mansell. |
