These two clowns are more interested in being melodramatic than working on cars. They were just whinging pricks to that first seller with the yellow MGB. I loved it when he laughed in their faces at that ridiculous offer.
I use to love watching Leepu build cars using metal that's the same gauge as a soda can and over sized wheel spacers they would yank a wheel hub right out, total joke.
The way he shut the door at the end of the episode by grabbing the vent window frame will eventually cause the infamous MGB doorcrack. Don't ever do that.
It is a British thing... the customer is not the boss and the employee will make you beg for his service if he knows you can't find one like him.... but I find that attitude mainly in white male.
For fucks sake. Its a made for TV programme! All the drama is fake. And you get a layman's look at the restoration not the full work. Grow up. I never seen such pathetic comments.
wow they faked the car. the original rustbucket that they bought is a inca yellow Late model MGB, late model starting from 1978, distinguished by its triumph gauges and redesigned dashboard. inca yellow also didn’t come out until 1977/78. in the green car (which appears to be a Brooklands green, NOT BRG) is said to be a 76, early model rubber bumper car. The dashboard and instruments are different (which is a pain to interchange since they dont share too many differences) and also has early model headrests and early model steering wheel, whereas the inca yellow car had the late model headrests and steering wheel, which is not interchangeable without changing the steering column. so It appears to be faked.
I have a 1981 MGB GT (yes you read that right, 1981, even though the factory closed in 1980!). After the factory in Abingdon CLOSED down in 1980, all the remaining MGB GT parts were shipped to British Leyland in South Africa as CKD (Completely Knocked Down), where only 200 was ever built from imported CKD kits.
With the people skills these two have it’s a miracle they are able to buy anything. So 2 weeks and a budget of $4000.00, I mean what could go wrong? And when the rear end dropped I loved the “ it may be a write off”. You gave 500 pounds for it, you can part it out and turn a profit. Lotsa drama here.
I commuted from Oakland to Lockheed Missles and Space Co. each day in my MGB, BRG. If it rained, it had NO brakes. And those black plastic heater knobs only gave the impression of HEAT.... But that engine/exhaust sure gave a nice prrrrrrrrrr.
Nice job on the bodywork but at bare minimum I would have expected a compression check, an inspection of all the engine seals and gaskets, and a test of the clutch. Without all those things buying this car would, as we say here in America, be like buying a pig in a poke! Last but not least that's not British Racing Green paint, it,s several shades too light.
So the car was faked. It made several good points and was very entertaining. The new steel roof was amazing. The paint job and final bodywork looked very nice. I still can't figure out HOW they made money on the car. It looked they lost 2,000 gbp. The bumpers looked new as well as the grills and other shiny bits. New seats and upholstery costs a fortune in the USA.
I remember all the dramas in the classic car newspapers when this was broadcast, eventually the tv production company admitted their were 2 MGB's the green one was a completely different car that only needed a respray, the whole restoration was staged on the yellow one and then it was scrapped
a great example of a tire kicker. they honestly hasn’t made any car better than when they first came in. disrespectful to the sellers and The car.🤦🏻♂️
I can’t believe you paid £500 for that pile of junk. I’ve sold solid rubber bumper GT’s for that recently. I would have just scrapped that shell if it was mine.
Without a doubt the worst car program I ever saw. I thought it was a comedy to begin with. Everything is staged, with poor acting and if "Bernie" is a master mechanic , well, no wonder the UK Car Industry collapsed. If he ever actually spoke to his staff like that he'd be laid out straight away. I'm guessing the American production company thought that a guy with a Cockney accent, driving round insulting people would sell in the States, and Dick Van Dyke wasn't available. Why did he try to buy it for a hundred quid then claim it was beyond saving? When they are painting it at 37 minutes you can clearly see that they are painting over a front wing with huge rust holes - no repair, no replacement panels. It also looks like the drivers door doesn't close properly. Bodgers and cowboys. It's criminal to claim this is a restoration.
Think they trying to copy the formula of American Chopper with all the drama and screaming, you are right its obvious its staged and fake. Anything for TV ratings and money i guess.
@@joanned8172 Agree - there was an awful, awful show where the otherwise highly skilled Indian mechanic/panel beater overacted so badly it was impossible to watch. The 'moment' was him pretending to go into a trance to get his 'vision' of how the car would look and we were told if he did not 'feel it', the restoration could not happen. Of course, he did 'feel it' and we all were so relieved and happy.....yeesh....as corny and silly as you can get.
The Bernie character wrecks this show but to be fair to him, he is obviously told to act up and the scenes are horribly scripted. A real pity as aside from his fake outrage, this is a good show.
Crash testing notwithstanding,, chrome bumpers were so much nicer than that black rubber nonsense. Neither bumper is going to matter in a collision, lol.
Too sad for words.not sure what the tubby guy is on but it’s not good. Stroke blood pressure. Silly,could actually make a good show. Didn’t bother after see bodsay not bother getting out of bed. He had them sussed.
All their episodes have been the same; argue about a car, curse a lot, questionable work (c'mon, WHO'd actually WANT a car "restored" in 2-weeks?), get mad, storm off, then get mad and storm off again. Ho hum.
This entire show is preposterous - this is not even CLOSE to a "restoration" .... it reminds me of a British variation of "Orange County Choppers" - complete with moody and hot-tempered main characters, questionable work practices, and fabricated work deadlines to create additional drama. And having an appraiser at the end give them a value does not mean that they actually SOLD it for that. Ridiculous.
Again! Setup arguments. The Canadian spends four hours looking for a ‘rear end’ after the rear end has been fitted and really four hours! Did not show how they cut the rust out of the ‘A’ pillar or overhauling the carbies. But did show us lunch with the wife and what looked like singing in a pub. And once again failed to wear their seatbelts while driving. Guys we are interested in your reconstruction work, not all the other repetitive rubbish. Cheers.
Quite contrived. We never see the rust thu areas (and many, many other issues) addressed and repaired. The manufactured interpersonal drama is a huge detriment to the show. I would hate to be around these grwon men babies. Love the cars ..not the drama. The profit figures are complete fantasy.

Did you notice the near perfect B GT sitting next to it ?
I use to love watching Leepu build cars using metal that's the same gauge as a soda can and over sized wheel spacers they would yank a wheel hub right out, total joke.
I just can’t watch this with that absolute bell end trying to act like a geezer for the American market!
@@michaeltaylor5682 I know what you mean. Watched about three minutes. That was plenty enough thank you.
So much theater.....be more serious.
For me watching this was an absolute waste of time.
The way he shut the door at the end of the episode by grabbing the vent window frame will eventually cause the infamous MGB doorcrack. Don't ever do that.
Dam
Huge drama which is not seen in the auto business. Everything must always be a crisis in “reality tv”
Get rid of the mouthy Cockney
@@ianmarywilliams You have no idea what a Cockney is i see :) hahaha there is not one in this video i know that much :)
@@rangersasc Really, mouthy Londoner then
@@ianmarywilliams Sounds like hes from Essex or somewhere
@@rangersasc That's even worse then lol
If I'd been the owner I'd have shown Bernie and his screwdriver the door.
Those guys are HACKS. Unprofessional. They do NOT restore anything. They always do so many things half assed. Unbelievable.
Really
@@marioiacolucci Yes, really.
It is a British thing... the customer is not the boss and the employee will make you beg for his service if he knows you can't find one like him.... but I find that attitude mainly in white male.
@@storminator60 big time
For fucks sake. Its a made for TV programme! All the drama is fake. And you get a layman's look at the restoration not the full work. Grow up. I never seen such pathetic comments.
haven't these 2 ever heard of sandblasting? it works much better than using a bloody grinder.
Never use fingertips with sand paper… always a “Block”
this is by far the best episode ever. Seeing Berny sing si priceless!!!!
The Mazda Mx5 reminds me of a mgb
wow they faked the car. the original rustbucket that they bought is a inca yellow Late model MGB, late model starting from 1978, distinguished by its triumph gauges and redesigned dashboard. inca yellow also didn’t come out until 1977/78. in the green car (which appears to be a Brooklands green, NOT BRG) is said to be a 76, early model rubber bumper car.

Ho my God!! Taking the paint off to bare metal with the angle grinder, are we mad!!
2 cars ... they didn't fix no car
I can’t believe the sills weren’t rusted out. They weren’t replaced so I wouldn’t touch it with a barge pole!
I love it when Bernie loses his temper 😂😂😂
Parts are amazingly easy to come by at really good prices, I was very surprised when I did the restoration on my 73 BGT.
With the people skills these two have it’s a miracle they are able to buy anything. So 2 weeks and a budget of $4000.00, I mean what could go wrong? And when the rear end dropped I loved the “ it may be a write off”. You gave 500 pounds for it, you can part it out and turn a profit. Lotsa drama here.
Back axel going down...😂 That's funy
Bernie 🤣
the rear springs didnt drop off , they were sawn off , most viewers believe the panic !
10:23 16:12 28:01 28:20

The hundred was over paying, wouldn't try rebuilding that car if you got it for free
watching your episodes complete's my day... good job guys,keep it up..👍👍👍
The loops on the end of the springs have been cut load of rubbish
Parts for MGBs are cheap but no way was the cost of that 'restoration' 4k
Is this the episode where they pretended rear suspension had collapsed but had actually taken an angle grinder to the rear spring shackle plates
these shows just get sillier and sillier.
Ashes to ashes, rust to rust.... LOL, i died at that one!
I like the animation of the original MGB leaf spring suspension @17:51
That’s about the only reason I keep watching these shows.
Be surprised if that car ever made it to the road wouldn’t trust them to fix a push bike
Burnie is not a mechanic . Is a idiot I fill sorry for is wife
I would have left the MGB and taken the right hand drive Chevy Impala
absolutely!!

No surprises there! These guys are embarrassing to watch, I wouldn't let them fix my bicycle.
They had to scrap it because the rear suspension wasn't safe at all.
Uk car shows are good.
a great example of a tire kicker. they honestly hasn’t made any car better than when they first came in. disrespectful to the sellers and The car.🤦🏻♂️
Wow gents, it's beautiful 😂
Think they be better off with 1st car. What went wrong, it happen when they bought the car!
I can’t believe you paid £500 for that pile of junk. I’ve sold solid rubber bumper GT’s for that recently.
I would have just scrapped that shell if it was mine.
16:10 I had a good laugh!
Hate the stupid rubber bumpers glad they filled in the sunroof
Perhaps you have to be an American to appreciate the over acting dribble.
What happend to the front bumper? Can you just fit a old grill and bumper instead of the newer plastic trim
Is Bernie really that unpleasant. Don't know how anyone can be around him.
I live in america and its pretty hillarious to me how Brits do bussiness!
Oh boy, Bernie is a drama queen.
He always gets mad
Will you come back to work?
There's a karioke machine over there.
Hahah.
Wow, if that's all it takes to expertly appraise a car, then I've just found my new job.=
Proper british comedy
im out at the bogus karaoke play.....
If you can enable it for other country's you will get more likes,after episode 3 its disabled,we loved this show
I bought a new red MGB in 1970 in Orlando, Florida. I think that it was manufactured during a strike.
good simple times
The 240Z killed off a lot of 2 seater sports cars.
the parking light/front indicators are upside down - funny that the appraiser didn't notice that
Really dam

What happened to the chrome bullet mirrors?
Looks great
Nobody seems to have bothered welding underneath.
Well done mates, I would have no problem having you restore one of my cars or buying one from you, cheers..
The rear leafsprings are cut. Thats why the axel fell of, Totaly gay show!
before after cars are different.
I realized that after watching it for 30 Seconds it was a Reality Knockoff that i didn't need to watch.
The Bernie character wrecks this show but to be fair to him, he is obviously told to act up and the scenes are horribly scripted.
A real pity as aside from his fake outrage, this is a good show.
What happened to the bullet mirrors
I’d have the 3.5 v8 gt. 0-60 in 8 seconds and 125 mph.
12:06 lol
Crash testing notwithstanding,, chrome bumpers were so much nicer than that black rubber nonsense. Neither bumper is going to matter in a collision, lol.
GGGuys omg finallly its the old guy
Great job guys
Is that a 483MG number plate, amazing for the price.
Those 5mph black rubber bumpers are as ugly as hammered snake s***, they definitely had to go....
careful guys ...all they looking for are hits !
Too sad for words.not sure what the tubby guy is on but it’s not good. Stroke blood pressure. Silly,could actually make a good show. Didn’t bother after see bodsay not bother getting out of bed. He had them sussed.
The drama is unwatchable. Could've been educational and satisfying without the childish antics.
bald man is insufferable
32:07 😂😂😂😂
16:14 omg
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
The mini was worth 5.000 as well
Insult to the average intelligence.
What year is it?
I just bought one 1978 good running condition 56k miles for the price of 3400
It's yellow convertible
Should be called drama queen,its just too much.

This is one of the best restoration cars tv shows. These presenters are amazing!
25:22 Woo woo woo wooooh
I WOULD RATHER MAKE A LOSS THAN HIRE AN BUNCH OF LAZY EMPLOYEES WHO MAKE ME APOLOGISE FOR TELLING THEM OFF.
People are lazy at work always
Appraise a car ? Whos joking .
Do not like them at all rust buckets
This is and will always remain one of the worst car shows ever made it’s like a 99p version of wheeler dealers
On one hand I like the end product of these two BUT...what I hate about this show is their constant bickering! Its pathetic!

Why don't they drive around in classic cars that they pimp out? I mean Count does, doesn't he?
No way would I buy a car of these sharks. Fake fake fake
They're like a bunch of 2 year olds
