MGBGTV8
on Car SOS series Paul Smith in Wales reports "I was recently
involved in a photoshoot which we filmed in Hereford in September for the TV series
- "Car SOS". The new series started on Thursday 8th March 2018
featuring an MGA. Fuzz Townsend and Tim Shaw interviewed me about my 1973 MGBGTV8
which I have owned since 1978 and restored to concours condition. I have been
told by the director of the series it will be featured, also mentioning MG enthusiasts
and clubs in South Wales and other parts of the country, who love MG cars. I am
keeping my fingers crossed my clip is aired, and hopefully there will be a plug
for the V8 Register and the enthusiastic following for a great MGV8.
Car
SOS The series is presented by motor vehicle and engineering enthusiast
Tim Shaw, and musician and mechanic, Fuzz Townsend leads a team
of car restoration experts who mainly work off camera, though they do have occasional
cameos, most notably appearances by "Workshop" Phil Palmer. Each
episode begins with Shaw and Townsend picking up and reviewing the featured car.
Shaw will discuss why the car is being restored while Townsend inspects the car's
state, working out the amount of work needed. The car is then winched onto a trailer,
and taken to Townsend's workshop, where it is inspected further by the restoration
team. As the restoration work begins, Shaw is given a parts list and travels the
country to find them, often portrayed in a comedic, 'blagging' manner. The series
is on the National
Geographic channel with repeats on More4.
