Mike is excited to pick up one of his favourite types of convertible: the 2000 Porsche 996. With only a few issues, this car will be an absolute steal for him.
Some might say it looks like the Porsche 911's ugly sibling but one thing's for sure, the 1970 VW Fastback type 3 has character. Mike finds one that's well-loved, but it suffers from some typical SoCal mods. Plus oil leaks, tatty interior, and rust.
There's nothing on the road more American than the truck. Mike locates a long wheelbase '71 Chevy C10 truck. It's in great condition, but Mike feels they could maximize their profit if they can make this truck more drivable and ramp up the performance.
The Mazda RX7 is an 80s classic loved on both sides of the Atlantic. Mike finds a highly desirable 1985 MK1 model with less-than-desirable aftermarket add ons, suspension problems, and iffy rotary engine. Is it worth fixing?
The Mercedes 300 TD was the last Mercedes made in an era of no compromise at the brand. Mike finds an example that's even slower than expected so together with Ant they set about getting the best out of that diesel engine.
Mike finds a two-seat convertible roadster for Ant to recondition. With suspension in need of an overhaul and a tatty exhaust, Mike returns to the UK for parts.
The pinnacle of BMW is the naturally aspirated inline 6 cylinder modern classic that is the E46 M3, the "Ultimate" Ultimate Driving Machine. Mike finds one with the subframe already fixed, and he challenges Ant to transform the transmission with new tech.
Ant finds a great deal on a modern Mopar V8 engine in need of a home; Mike believes he's found the perfect candidate for the powerful engine in a 1965 Plymouth Barracuda.
Mike and Ant are ready to complete one of their biggest builds ever. Mike challenges one of racing's most prolific competitors, Antron Brown, to a drag race.
Mike is in the Pacific Northwest, where he has tracked down a true 'barn find': A Volvo Amazon 122 with a rally heritage. Ant is tasked with making it roadworthy.
Mike finds a 1972 Fiat 124 Spider 'survivor' car. It's all original but the driving experience leaves a lot to be desired. Mike gets crafty on the interior while Ant fixes a leaky differential, replaces a carrier bearing and axle seals.
The 1973 Toyota Celica, the first generation of this iconic model. Mike finds a powerful solution for a rough running engine. Meanwhile, Ant is in the workshop, putting his fabrication skills to the test.
The 2002 Mercedes Benz E55 AMG, the pinnacle of luxury and supercar performance. Can Mike find profit in a neglected example as Ant tackles a major service?
Mike takes a trip down memory lane in a 1985 Merkur XR4Ti, better known as a Ford Sierra to the rest of the world. Mike has tracked down a rare competition shell model and Ant applies the European touches that the American market never received.
Mike finds a Toyota Land Cruiser in fairly good shape, but the original 4-speed transmission holds the vehicle below highway speeds; Mike sources a JDM Toyota 5-speed for Ant to install.
The 1982 Porsche 911 SC: the 'SC' stands for Super Carrera, and is apt for this particular classic. The 911 story started in 1964, when the current owner was born: a local car dealer going by the name of Mike Brewer.
