Dream Car Fixers
« on: August 08, 2026, 08:23:57 PM »
New series starting on 20th August on U&Yestarday will feature the Lancia Beta Coupe we saw at the Restoration Show earlier this year. Not found out what date it'll run yet.

I was thinking this might be the car that was on someones stand at the Resto Car Show.  I spy a replacement tank maybe?  The car at the show had one

For anyone who hasn't seen this on a download it'll be shown on U & Yesterday this Thursday evening. I'm sure it'll be discussed at BetaMeeta at the weekend!

I streamed this dream car fixers ep a while ago and have just seen it again on Youtube.

The paint was truly shocking but mechanically it wanted for nothing apart from a simple seal kit for the Master cylinder. Quite possibly a unicorn amongst Betas......

Yeh right !...

Also, I have seen the paint jobs done by Will on Flipping bangers and they are really not great. However the red Beta looked pretty good but then we only saw them strip the paint from the boot lid.....yet the whole car was supposedly a "bare metal re-spray".

Classic cars are so often a can of worms. I would just like programs like this to be more honest and transparent.

The Bangers and cash team are more realistic and they make no attempt to hide the massive losses they make in order to get a classic back to condition.
