If it's the one I saw they also put new discs and calipers on as well but not listed in the build costs.

I believe someone asked Mike Brewer about that at a show and he said they came with the car but not fitted, hence not listed in costs.

So lost money then.
I own a TVR so I don’t know why I sound surprised.
Did a nice job by the sounds of that though. Good on him

If they ever added labour costs to this (Brilliant) program, they would loose on every car they touched!

They unfairly referred to it being "unreliable" several times, without at any point informing viewers about the fact that they bought a car with very high mileage. I checked the copyright date at the end of the programme, and then looked at the MoT history. The car had over 103,000 miles when they bought it. It wasn't unreliable - it just had a high mileage and had not been properly serviced. ANY car with that history would need the kind of work they did.
