Flipping Bangers Season 2, Episode 8: VW Beetle

MGB

Gus and Will want to buy an MGB roadster but the cheaper GT version is the one they find. It's got a few rust patches, and back in the workshop they realise beauty really is skin deep..

BMW Z3

The guys want to buy a BMW, and Will says he likes the 'feminine' Z3. There's a trade-in up the road which might fit the bill but it's a high price. Can they get the deal they want?

Austin Maestro MG

Gus and Will go for the once-maligned Austin Maestro. The car they want to buy has already been sold but the seller has another - his own - on the driveway. Can they do a deal?

Suzuki SJ

The guys wants to do a 4×4, but their dream list of cars is short as they can’t afford much on their budget. However, Will has a cunning plan, and steers them towards a friend’s Suzuki.

Morris Minor

Gus and Will want a classic Morris Minor, and they find an ex-police car in a lovely shade of blue. But the seller wants them to bid online - they can’t pay and take it away.

Skoda Estelle

Gus and Will really want an 'Eastern Bloc' car to see whether those old Skoda jokes were deserved. Bidding low they win an orange Estelle - but how can they add any value to it?

Renault 5 Mk1

Gus has his eye on a classic Renault 5 that's cheap and clean. Will isn't sure but Gus twists his arm. It's super-rare, and has little wrong with it - apart from a cooling issue that they can't see, let alone fix.

Reliant Kitten

Gus and Will find an orange Reliant Kitten that an engineer has given up on – the body is detached from the chassis, it doesn’t run and most of the bits it needs are in boxes in the boot. They seek out parts from garden-shed business and have interest in the rare car as soon as they’ve finished, but will it give them the profit they dream of?

Saab 99

In the final episode of the series, the boys want to buy a Scandinavian car, and settle on a Saab as they’ve never flipped one before. They want a classic 99 but the only one they can find is the older 99. The car was bought to use in a rally but can’t go the distance. But in Gus and Will’s hands, can it be improved?

Audi TT

Gus and Will find an Audi Quattro roadster that has seen better days. It has a lot of problems - the roof has stopped working and the ABS system has failed.

Rover

Gus and Will want to buy a classic Rover, but have to go for a Honda-based 800 coupe. At only £650 it seems too good to be true - and when they turn up, they aren't completely sure.

Citroen XM

Gus has his eye on a Citroen XM that looks amazing - but it's in France. Will isn't sure, but the engineering challenges win him over.
