- just caught up with the latest episode of car SOS which featured a Lotus Esprit S1 - https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7syg7oApart from the usual nonsense bits (false time jeopardy, blagging parts, etc.), it was a really detailed, body off re-build. What was really fascinating was the electronic dash that they replaced the original with.The guy who makes them (!) has been supplying a simpler version for the Lotus Elise S1 for a while now. Check out this (short) link to the one he came up with for the Esprit - https://www.facebook.com/carsosofficial/videos/1830633333738633/Apparently, the technology means he could make a version for any car - classic or otherwise. Like it (or not) , it is impressive stuff from what looks like a 'man in a shed'  James

He just plays the idiot, actually quite a clever chap. Perhaps it's brilliance bordering on insanity?  Looking forward to the "real" parts of tonight's programme re: a Lambo Espada

I really enjoy it - initially I got annoyed at all the pretend blagging, but now I find it quite amusing.
AND it helps the Mrs understand how we daft blokes get really attached to our vehicles......

The comedy duo format is aimed at filling in time and content that is not just workshop based. A straight man and a clown combination. Like most car series record it and FF through the bits you don’t like. It also adds a bit of lighthearted content to work with the tough scenarios of the car owners.

I saw the show on TV and recorded it to try and get details of who made the instruments. I recognised south wales but no futher. Any ideas who the guy is and how he trades?

I agree with Arwyn, I enjoy the programme otherwise. Apparently they have a 40k budget per car ....🤔
