Not real,of course! Like a soap opera because that's what the TV people have decided we want to watch. My beetle came back after a year and that was no concours job! Cheap and solid was the plan and it seems to have worked.
Entertaining,nevertheless!

Cheap, fast or done well, you can only choose two.

With enough people and budget it's feasible. Keep in mind before the show a thorough analysis of the car is done and all necessary parts are sourced.

On some episodes you can see the other cars that they're working on. I think they do a good job and I enjoy the show.

And, there's always something that goes wrong just before they hand the cars back to the owners. Staged or what!

But I do enjoy it. :D
Busy collecting parts for my '52 MM Convertible and 1949 Saloon restorations. :o

Smithskids, very true it is the people behind the scenes that make the show, and slow but sure has always been mt preference for cars, and DIY...........

Car SOS is the best of the restoration shows, Fuzz is a true gent and there can be no doubt about his and his team's abilities. They are doing it to surprise the owner who has come up against difficulties in their lives instead of flogging the car later. I like the show.

If someone's car disappeared from their garage, what's the chances of them not knowing? I'll tell you -----Nil
