Classic Cars for Cash: Restored

“Everyone knows you cannot make money restoring classic cars”. These were the words of master auctioneer Derek Mathewson to the Classic Cars for Cash team as they launched this ambitious spin-off series by bidding on crumbling wrecks - which all needed much more than a “bit of weekend work” to put right. 

Classic Cars for Cash: Restored is now one the most original, informative, credible and refreshingly honest car restoration formats going.

In each episode the production team eyes up a few likely restoration projects coming up at the Mathewsons public auction, put their hands in the air and their own money on the line.

The authentic renovation journey begins as they source (and pay) professional restorers to breathe new life into their purchases - ranging from an early 1950s Land Rover to a poster pinup ‘80s Lotus Esprit supercar.

And when all the hard work is done, the team put their car back into the auction and the drama is real when the auction hammer comes down.  Only then can they do the maths and find out who the real winners and losers are - in a classic car deal fuelled by passion. 

Real cars, real restorations and a really honest enthusiasm for classics is what you get with Classic Cars for Cash: Restored.
