Citroen

The team are feeling a little ‘oo-la-la' when they splash out on a European design classic: the 1971 Citroen DS21; the curved edges, sofa-like seats and hydropneumatic suspension were too much to resist. Specialists Rad and Paul from Pallas Autos carefully restore it and try to stick to a strict budget -though finding a fire hazard in the wiring loom was not on their wish list. For the second project they stay a little closer to home when Paul Mathewson says ‘everyone should own one in their lifetime' - a little grey Ferguson tractor. It's taken just 5 miles up the road for local Rob to work his magic. But will they harvest a profit?

MGC and Fiat Seicento

Derek picks out a super low mileage MGC and the team pays perhaps a little too much to secure it. The ‘one owner from new-
5000 miles on the clock-MGC Roadster' is this week's star buy. Derek tells the team to ‘keep it original'! It's taken down to the fanatics at the MG Owners' Club workshop to be loved back to life. The team's second restoration project sees them trying to tap into the modern classic markets - is a 2001 Fiat Seicento Sporting going to impress today's 20-somethings? The purchase is a sunshine yellow 2001 Fiat Seicento Sporting. Unfortunately, the car boasts several different shades of yellow but could an ebay search secure a bargain solution?

Robin Reliant and Mamod Steam

This could be the cheapest pair of restorations the Restoring Classics team have done so far! A three-wheeler Reliant Robin is sent to father and son specialists Melvyn and Adam. 
And a second project takes them back to the world of steam when they pick up a Mamod Roller for only a couple of hundred pounds. What's the worst that can happen? Well, other than setting the worktop bench alight?

Harley and Cavalier

The team come down with a dose of auction fever and end up coughing up way too much for a Harley Davidison 42WLA. Not knowing quite what they've bought, it's taken to Zenith Motorcycles in North London for Karen and her team to uncover oily serial numbers and a rich wartime history.
They also go full throttle 90s with the ultimate rep mobile, a Vauxhall Cavalier Classic. The team at Classic Car Workshop describe it as the best car that's actually driven into their garage. But will a lick of paint and some light mechanics turn them a profit.

Pedal car and Figaro

This week's instalment of Restoring Classics is a battle of the cuties. The first pick is a 1991 Nissan Figaro. Despite the 90s Japanese engineering, British rust means routine work ends in hours of labour …and about the same duration in swearing. To give the mechanics a breather, the team snap up something with no engine …an Austin J40 pedal car. But which restoration will turn a profit (lose the least) when they head to the hammer.

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert

Stephen Colbert brings his signature satire and comedy to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the #1 show in late-night. Featuring bandleader Jon Batiste with his band Stay Human, the Emmy Award-nominated show broadcasts from the historic Ed Sullivan Theater. He talks with an eclectic mix of guests about what is new and relevant in the worlds of politics, entertainment, business, music, technology, and more. Stephen Colbert took over as host, executive producer, and writer of The Late Show on Sept. 8, 2015. 

Colbert is best known for his work as a television host, writer, actor, and producer, and lest known for his charity work teaching English as a second language on Tunisian date farms. Before joining the CBS family -- and being officially adopted by network president Les Moonves -- Colbert helmed The Colbert Report, which aired nearly 1,500 episodes and required Stephen to wear nearly 1,500 different neckties. The program received two Peabody Awards, two Grammy Awards, and several unwelcome shoulder massages. It won two Emmys for Outstanding Variety Series in 2013 and 2014, both of which appear to have been lost in the move. Colbert is pronounced koʊlˈbɛər, according to Wikipedia. His understudy is William Cavanaugh, who will be hosting The Late Show approximately one-third of the time. Good luck, Bill!
