Flipping Bangers (2018)
The programme follows petrol head friends, Will Trickett and GT Porsche photographer, Gus Gregory, as they fix and 'flip' neglected old cars for a profit. Having ditched their day jobs to trade in the cars that people avoid, they're risking it all as any losses will come out of their own pockets. To cover any overheads, they must double their return on every pound invested in the vehicles they buy.
Seasons & Episode
Will and Gus’ quest for a “classic, iconic British sports car” leads them to what they judge to be the worst MGF in the country. Can they make it into the best in only five days?
What do you buy if you like a classic Fiat but the 500 is out of your reach? Yep, a 126 is the car of choice and the one the team finds is rust-free but runs terribly.
The Herald is a great entry-level classic and this one has only had 2 owners and low mileage. It's also not being driven, stuck in a barn.
Will Trickett and Gus Gregory hunt for neglected cars they can fix and flip for a profit. Any losses incurred by their flipping come out of their own pockets.
When people talk about the appeal of the classic Rolls, they don't mean the one the team located in Yorkshire. This one was owned by a colourful character and had been sitting in a field for years.
This once £35,000 car has been given up on. The previous owner can't get the roof to work or the car to run, so they are selling it. The car looks amazing - surely the car is a bargain?
A golf like this is such a legend the guys instantly fall in love with it. But is it rusty? It looks tight, it seems good; it's only when they remove the wheel arch trims that the trust dawns.
The boys take on a Citroen BX with no brakes, bad paintwork, and a rodent infestation. They have five days to fix it and flog it
Gus and Will find an Audi Quattro roadster that has seen better days. It is full of problems and has not seen a service in years. Clearly, they need to buy it.
Everyone wants a classic Ford so the team target the Orion as it's probably the last one that's affordable.
Gus and Will are in Kent to check out a Toyota MR2 offer; it's the cheapest one they've found in the UK and appears faultless.
The four-wheel-drive Freelander was once Europe's most popular car. It looks good and runs well, but it failed the inspection on so many points that its owner gave up.
