 Auto fanatic Mark Evans is heading to his workshop once more as the eighth ‘…Is Born’ series gets under way.
Mark and his sidekick Pete reunite to restore the ultimate English sports car, the MGB, as an MG is born.
Across just 10 episodes Mark completely strips and repairs or replaces every single component on the car.
He fully restores and up-rates the original B Series 1800cc engine, cuts out and replaces the sills, the boot, the floor, all four wings and both doors, finally painting the car in 'James Bond Silver' and refurbishing the interior in sumptuous red leather.
The first two half-hour episodes air one after the other (at 19h00 and 19h30):
Episode 1
Mark embarks on a brand new project, aiming to transform a 1973 Chrome-bumpered MGB Roadster from an unloved rust-bucket into a pristine classic car.
In the first episode Mark tracks down a suitable car for restoration in an old chicken shed in Surrey. The deal done, it's back to his workshop to start the strip down.
Episode 2
In the second episode Mark strips the engine down step by step, starts work on the body-work and takes a trip to the Heritage factory where, 20 years after production stopped, new body shells are still being made.
