I've just watched the 100th episode, even though I dont agree with electrifying a classic,( if you want to own an electric car why not just buy a modern plastic one with no soul,) there was at least a lot more information included.

No electricity etc either? Plus advertising costs aren't factored in. A perfect example of this is the recent Wheeler Dealers Dream Car series.
I dont know, I always felt the in the Edd shows that the costs were on par with what the average home job would be (other than the specialist tools). Most of us wouldn't price in the cost of fuel to buy parts, or electricity at home either, so it is a more like-for-like for the average car enthusiast
Certainly not in the same league as the costs of car sos.

The dream car ones were a bit fantasy in my view, as in would it be cool if we could....
