France’s must-watch car restoration show – a roaring success for nearly a decade!
In VINTAGE MECHANICS, skilled mechanics bring classic cars back to life, from everyday favorites to luxury icons like Ferrari and Porsche, as well as rare and unconventional vehicles.
In each episode, the expert host sets up a new challenge: multiple teams of mechanics compete in an auction - bidding to win the job of restoring a vintage car. The host has a fixed budget and aims to get the best deal, so teams must outbid each other by offering their lowest possible price for the restoration. The twist? The car remains locked inside a container, and the contestants must rely solely on the expert’s diagnosis to assess the work required.
The winning duo then embarks on a high-pressure restoration, working within a strict budget and tight deadline while tackling unexpected mechanical challenges. Once the transformation is complete, the expert host evaluates the final result alongside a celebrity car enthusiast, who takes the restored vehicle for a test drive.
