A brand new episode of Bangers & Cash: Restoring Classics is set to air on Yesterday on Thursday, May 23, 2024. In this episode, titled “VW Beetle/ Royal Enfield,” the team takes on two unique restoration projects: a 1976 VW Beetle convertible and a 1932 Royal Enfield Cycar.
The team’s intuition proves correct as they choose the VW Beetle, one of the simplest cars ever built. They are initially pleased with their decision as they acquire a 1976 left-hand-drive convertible Karman in green. However, their excitement wanes when the mechanics take a closer look underneath the car.
The second project is a 1932 Royal Enfield Cycar, which has been sitting untouched in a garage for approximately 50 years. The team contemplates whether two wheels mean half the hassle but soon discovers that it doesn’t necessarily equate to twice the profit.
This episode explores the challenges and intricacies of restoring these classic vehicles to their former glory. With varying degrees of difficulty, the team, including Derek, Paul, and Dave Mathewson, share their expertise and observations on the unique restoration projects. From initial acquisition to repair and eventual re-auction, the team aims to find new homes and loving owners for these cherished vehicles.
Bangers & Cash: Restoring Classics: VW Beetle/ Royal Enfield airs on Thursday, May 23, 2024, at 8:00 PM on Yesterday.
