I noticed that as well. Partly because I've just replaced the same sticker on my Disco.

Another thing I noticed is, why rivet the new side windows in just before a full respray?

Watching the Series episode now, and he says it again - "Lamb Rover"! Check here [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHlVHgx0faE]YouTube - Wheeler Dealers - Land Rover 1/5[/ame] at 1min 42sec.

Driving me nuts!

Great show though :)

I would have kept the grill and headlight surrounds black.

Mike has several speech 'peculiarities' - 'free' for 'three', for example.

Also although Ed does fantastic work, the engine bay is never cleaned, but left as found.

Agree on the labour costs - it's not really a profit, is it? I'm guessing the television mob pay for that...

Totally agree on the windows going in before the repaint. I had two thoughts about that:

1. why didn't he just buy a new SWB top with windows already installed?
2. they said at the start that they were going to repaint, so it would have made sense to leave the glass out until painted - they took all the other glass out!

That was worth blowing the broadband budget for.
Used to like watching this programme although the presenter is a bit of a cheeky chappie gor blimey govna car salesman aka he is full of it lol
Thanks for posting it.

Drifter it's not a perculiararitiy where he is from ...much like it's alright for Australian's to utilise 'But' in a perculiar context.
You should hear me say: it's a dull day the little girl took her doll with her as her mum signed on the dole all the words sound like dull lol
And free and free it's all the same lol

I enjoyed that. :)

The irony is that although prepared as a Chelsea tractor it was bought by someone who lived several hours drive north of Chelsea.

Judging by the paint job it's barn origins will be revealed when the bonnet is opened.

same as I thought not only when the cow **** dries and starts to flake they should have done the bulkhead when the roof had come off etc crazy

Just watched the Stage 1 episode.
It is very yellow, eh !

Strikes me though that they didn;lt actually DO much to it at all.
By which I mean it wasn't a "proper" - heck that needs a lot of work and time and an understanding wife - project car
