Ant Anstead Master Mechanic

Channel: Discovery Family (DStv 136)
TX Time: 20h10
Genre: Reality, Motoring

Ant Anstead Master Mechanic

Ant Anstead is living the American dream.

Two years after moving to southern California to costar in the series Wheeler Dealers, he's at the top of his profession.

He's also enjoying newlywed life with fellow TV star Christina Anstead (Christina on the Coast) and life with their blended family that includes a newborn baby boy.

While his personal life and work are extremely busy, Ant isn't one to rest on his laurels.

In this series, Anstead is paying homage to the legendary 1930s Alfa Romeo 158 Grand Prix race car by building his own from the ground up.

The Alfa Romeo 158 was the first car to ever win a Formula One race, at the inaugural meet at Silverstone in 1950.

Only six 158s were ever built and the two remaining carry an estimated value in excess of 20-million dollars.

Ant Anstead Master Mechanic follows Ant as he found time to take on this ambitious, special passion project during Wheeler Dealers' summer hiatus and before his baby boy arrived.

Anstead is using donor cars, a bunch of spare parts, handmade items, whatever raw materials he can get, and some help from local skilled engineers, vendors and friends to help him build the Alfa Romeo 158.

The series is done in a "warts and all" documentary style as Anstead interacts openly with a small crew that captured this special project.

In a way not done on Wheeler Dealers, viewers will get a window inside Anstead's mind as he navigates the trials and tribulations of this truly one-of-a-kind automotive build.

You will also see a bit of what his life in America is like, including: travelling with Anstead across California to find an original Alfa Romeo 158; his hosting of an Alfa Romeo event during Monterey Car Week; visiting legendary car designer Chip Foose and Chris Jacobs of Overhaulin'; and shop visits from his wife Christina.

In the series premiere, "And so it Begins": Ant has 12 weeks until his baby boy is due, and the same amount of time to fulfill a childhood fantasy, to own a 1950s Alfa 158; but since he doesn't have $20 million lying around, he's going to build it.

In the second episode of the weekly double bill, "What Lies Beneath": Ant has found a donor 1950s chassis, so his ambitious Alfa 158 build can now begin; digging deep into his passion for the early years of Formula One racing.
