A BELOVED motoring show is returning to screens this year as ‘delighted’ bosses pay a gushing tribute to the hosts.
Fans of the genre have been dealt a number of blows in recent months, with the announcement that Jeremy Clarkson and Co would be leaving The Grand Tour, as well as Top Gear being axed.
But in happier news, Dream Car Fixers has been renewed for a second series.
The show follows mechanic Sheldon Nichols and bodywork expert Peter Harriott as they work to a client’s strict brief and budget to find a suitable car, and carry out the inevitable mechanical fixes required.
The first series, which airs on Yesterday and UKTV Play, featured classic vehicles including an MGB Roadster, Morris Minor Traveller, a VWGolf Cabriolet, a Volvo 850R, an Alfa Romeo Spider and a VW Beetle Cabriolet.
UKTV’s Emile Nawagamuwa said: “Sheldon and Peter have expertise and chemistry that you can only develop through seasoned experience and Dream Car Fixers perfectly captures how much they love their work and how much they care about making their clients happy.
“Wiser Films have brought a fantastic series to our screens, and I’m delighted that we can bring it back for a second series so soon.”
Meanwhile Wiser Films’ Tas Brooker said: “We’re delighted to have a second series of Dream Car Fixers and we’ve loved working with the whole team at UKTV.
“We can’t wait to see what cars Sheldon and Peter will be working on, and watch as they make more people’s car dreams come true.”
Gerald Casey added: “We really believe in Dream Car Fixers and wanted to show that with this second series commission before the first one has even finished going out on Yesterday.
“We know the appeal that classic cars can have – their history, nostalgia, and expertise required to keep them on the road – and this show conveys all of that superbly well.”
The new series will start production very soon and will air later this year.
Dream Car Fixers airs on Yesterday and is available on UKTV Play.
