Just watched it and being a past Escort fan I enjoyed it. Personally a would have liked more detail on the rebuild but I can see how that might be considered boring for the majority of watchers. So a thumbs up from me.
Pretty much the same for me. As a crossflow Morgan owner I was hoping to see more about the engine, but nevertheless an entertaining programme. I'm pleased that there is a place for this kind of programme at what is effectively Sunday evening peak time on a mainstream channel, and given the slot it was pretty much as I expected it to be.
The highlight for me was bringing together the Scouser ex car thief and the retired policeman. The copper's delight in seeing the restored Mexico police car car appeared genuine, as was the ex-scally's comment that it was his first ride in the front seat!
I too was stunned at the how much a genuine Mexico wreck is apparently worth.
I'm greatly looking forward to the rest of the series, especially the MG.
