They've painted the heritage gte black??
It's hardly a restoration when the heritage car was already mint.

Wing stickers are not in the right position
Sure this car belonged to a guy over on the Vauxhall Sports Car Club before the heritage centre and if it did I supplied a few parts for it
Looks good in pictures for having 71,000 miles on the clock but I have yet to see it in the flesh

They wouldn't have been working on this one. Half way through the programme, they take another car (in this case the heritage centre white GTE) for a test drive to show the viewers what their finished project will be like.

Do we know when it's on?
I actually thought about taking mine there when it was finished (shut up Minx) as their unit is about 40 miles from me.
I joked to my wife that she could get them to finish Gilfy then she reminded me that most of the people they do cars for have something major wrong with them or only a short time to live! 
Be interesting to see what Fuzz thinks of it in general. He loves some old cars and hates others.

Well you fit the criteria spot on. There is definitely something major wrong with you and the way you carry on, you may only have a shorttime to live!
