Renault Clio Williams 2
Bangers & Cash: Restoring Classics - S2 - E4

Bangers & Cash: Restoring Classics: Season 2 - 6 Episode s
2x1 - Montego
May 12, 2023
Derek Mathewson reckons it was a period of British car manufacturing that many would think best forgotten but the Restoring Classics team pays tribute to mid-80s-Midlands by breathing new life into what was once the fastest production MG ever made – the Montego Turbo.
2x2 - CZ & Nova
May 19, 2023

2x3 - Golf GTI Convertible
May 26, 2023
The team restore a 1988 Golf GTI Convertible – an iconic hot hatch – along with a wooden launch boat and catch-up on a Mk1 Austin Mini.
2x4 - Renault Clio Williams 2
June 2, 2023
A super-rare Renault Clio Williams 2 in F1 blue with contrasting gold alloys has turned Dave Mathewson an interesting shade of green.
2x5 - Saab 96
June 9, 2023
The team snap up a slightly saggy 1970s Saab 96, but despite a stunning restoration, could it result in a record financial loss when it goes to auction?
2x6 - Land Rover
June 16, 2023
One of the longest restoration projects to date finally goes under the hammer. A Series 1 Land Rover that Dave says, “looks like someone has shot it with a 12 bore. Repeatedly.” It is well past its best-before date, but the _Restoring Classics team couldn’t see it go to waste and spend tens of thousands making it perfect… well, almost. After a frank discussion with the accountant, the team also opt for a more budget-friendly purchase and take on two Moulton Deluxe bicycles which were an engineering revolution in the 60s. Plus there’s a catch up with the 18-year-old who bought a 1960’s MGBGT to see how his three-year-long restoration has been progressing.
