Citroen

The team are feeling a little ‘oo-la-la' when they splash out on a European design classic: the 1971 Citroen DS21; the curved edges, sofa-like seats and hydropneumatic suspension were too much to resist. Specialists Rad and Paul from Pallas Autos carefully restore it and try to stick to a strict budget -though finding a fire hazard in the wiring loom was not on their wish list. For the second project they stay a little closer to home when Paul Mathewson says ‘everyone should own one in their lifetime' - a little grey Ferguson tractor. It's taken just 5 miles up the road for local Rob to work his magic. But will they harvest a profit?

MGC and Fiat Seicento

Derek picks out a super low mileage MGC and the team pays perhaps a little too much to secure it. The ‘one owner from new-
5000 miles on the clock-MGC Roadster' is this week's star buy. Derek tells the team to ‘keep it original'! It's taken down to the fanatics at the MG Owners' Club workshop to be loved back to life. The team's second restoration project sees them trying to tap into the modern classic markets - is a 2001 Fiat Seicento Sporting going to impress today's 20-somethings? The purchase is a sunshine yellow 2001 Fiat Seicento Sporting. Unfortunately, the car boasts several different shades of yellow but could an ebay search secure a bargain solution?

Robin Reliant and Mamod Steam

This could be the cheapest pair of restorations the Restoring Classics team have done so far! A three-wheeler Reliant Robin is sent to father and son specialists Melvyn and Adam. 
And a second project takes them back to the world of steam when they pick up a Mamod Roller for only a couple of hundred pounds. What's the worst that can happen? Well, other than setting the worktop bench alight?

Harley and Cavalier

The team come down with a dose of auction fever and end up coughing up way too much for a Harley Davidison 42WLA. Not knowing quite what they've bought, it's taken to Zenith Motorcycles in North London for Karen and her team to uncover oily serial numbers and a rich wartime history.
They also go full throttle 90s with the ultimate rep mobile, a Vauxhall Cavalier Classic. The team at Classic Car Workshop describe it as the best car that's actually driven into their garage. But will a lick of paint and some light mechanics turn them a profit.

Pedal car and Figaro

This week's instalment of Restoring Classics is a battle of the cuties. The first pick is a 1991 Nissan Figaro. Despite the 90s Japanese engineering, British rust means routine work ends in hours of labour …and about the same duration in swearing. To give the mechanics a breather, the team snap up something with no engine …an Austin J40 pedal car. But which restoration will turn a profit (lose the least) when they head to the hammer.

Snapped

Who are these women and what drives them to kill? Oxygen's hit true crime series, Snapped, profiles fascinating cases of women accused of murder. Did they really do it? And if they did, why? Whether the motivation is revenge against a cheating husband, the promise of a hefty insurance payoff, or putting an end to years of abuse, the reasons are as varied as the women themselves. From socialites to secretaries, female killers share one thing in common: at some point, they all snapped. Each episode of Snapped chronicles the life of a woman who has been charged with murder. These shocking but true stories turn common assumptions about crime and criminals upside down, and prove that even the most unlikely suspects can be capable of murder.
