The Auction
Over the series, Philip Glenister and car designer Ant Anstead have trawled the barns and lock-ups of Britain to find and painstakingly restore six incredible examples of classic cars. Now it’s time for their pride and joy collection to be shipped off to one of the country’s largest and most prestigious car auctions to face their last, and greatest, challenge: the buying public. Philip and Ant know their cars are loved, but will that mean anything in the altogether more hardnosed commercial world of the classic car auction? Here love takes a back seat to business. The episode ends as the auction room fills with some familiar faces as the Ford Escort, the Mini Cooper, Triumph Stag, Land Rover Series 1, MG and DeLorean all go under the hammer., As the climax to the series, Philip Glenister and car designer Ant Anstead put their pride and joy collection of classic cars up for sale at one of the country’s leading car auctions.
