Car S.O.S - Season 5

Season 5

Making motoring dreams come true for a fifth season, Car S.O.S is back.

This time it's bigger and better than ever with everyone's favourite petrol heads Fuzz Townshend and Tim Shaw continuing their mission to seek out classic cars with deserving owners.

Using all their guile and restoration knowledge their aim is to sneak away clapped out classics without their owners' knowledge and then, in a blizzard of grease, grime and graft, get the much loved motors back on the road.

This season the guys take on a rust-covered 1971 Fiat Dino whose restoration was put on hold following its owner's cancer diagnosis. Among the cars also hoping to be restored to their former glory is a classic Mercedes-Benz and a Jaguar Mk. 2. Can they even get the Jag's engine to start after nearly two decades of neglect?

In amongst the chaos, Tim and Fuzz also find some time to test out a Ferrari racing engine and a motor considered to be one of the most beautiful in the world.
