A 4x4 is Born

<< < (2/4) > >>

littlepow:
Didn't he just get the car, instead of being paid?

But his workshop was set up for the 'Is born' series.

He has been offering a service, where you can have your car rebuilt and film for tv, but the costs were very high.

carbore:
I have the boxed set of allmost all of them (I think the MG was later)

You can see that as the "series ies" progressed form A car is born (the Sumo Cobar) he got more and more kit.

I really like the series and the fact that in the restorations he does a lot of refurbishmnet rather than everything new, although her really really strips things down way beyond most people.

I really like the way that he really cares about the finsih and is a genuine bloke instead of a dumb blonde presenter with a grin.  It is a shame he does not do the budget more, but I think on other series he has shown the budget (possibly the harley bike)

ITs partly his fault I bought my Series III.

RichardRRC:
The first one - A car is born-the cobra replica, was filmed at the Pilgrim factory in Small Dole, he refered to it as his garage but it wasn't :lol: . Apparently Mark would film himself building say, one corner, and the guys from the pilgrim factory would build the other three :lol: .

:lol:  its his fault that I think I can do anything with a spanner.....

Jake:
I had a really long chat (about an hour) with Mark Evans at London to Brighton 2004
He claimed that the whole thing is payed for by himself but there is commercial help in the form of subtle advertising and product placement.
The workshop is in Dunsfold, the very same place that they film Top Gear.
He was a really nice guy and it was so good that he spared so much time to chat with the wet enthusiasts
