Fellow car nut,Do not click below if you want any semblance of life. This show is highly addictive and very time consuming. You have been warned.
I'm leafing through the September 2009 issue of Automobile and it has a buying guide for Porsche 928s. I've always coveted one of these, but an acquaintance just bought one in fairly good condition and the cost of repairs is about to surpass the purchase price.
Wheeler Dealers is a British show. Over two 30 minute episodes, the host buys a used classic in mediocre condition and has his friend Edd fix it up for resale. The episode below is for a chocolate brown 928. This show is light years ahead of the crap we have in America.
Don't say you haven't been warned. Your addiction starts here.
Other episdoes include Lancia Delta Integrale, Merc 190E 2.3-16 Cosworth, Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce, BMW 635CSi, Lotus Esprit, Citroen DS, Bentley Mulsanne, and Audi Ur Quattro.

It's a great show... In fact, HD Theater has some great car guy programming. Much better than the trailer trash type programming one finds on Speed TV.
After watching each Wheeler Dealers episode I usually find myself online looking to see what those cars sell for over here on this side of the pond.
Chasing Classic cars is another great one.
Thanks for the tip on Chasing Classic Cars. I'll have to check it out.
I don't know what you're talking about re Speed TV. Don't you like Car Crazy with Barry "Polident Clean" Meguiar? Or their 23 hour a day NASCAR coverage? Their weekly three-day marathons of Pinks?
This show is absolute CRAP. They do useless half ass fixes to these cars. Ed the mechanic has a low buck shop with a couple of K-Mart tools lying around. I think i'll stick to the shows on Spike.
