I almost did not watch them as the same series is on another channel but not
car related. Apparently they have split the series into two -- nonsense
items such as how ice cream, etc. is made and real items such as how various
marques are made.

On that same channel was a program called "How it is made" Did coverage of
the Morgan's, Lamborgini (sp), and the new Jag F-Type. Fascinating how
these care are hand built and the materials used---the glue and certain
types of rivets. Jag has designed a special rivet that, once seated, is
flush with the skin. The Jag actually has a muffler system that you can
tweek the sound to get the "growl" sound they want.

... just (half) caught a show on Velocity called 'Retro Car Kings,' mostly
about Japanese old car restorers. No Healeys, but a Lagonda, an Amilcar (?)
and lots of 240Zs. Suffice it to say originality is paramount, and the
craftsmanship is superb.
One great quote (translated), from a restorer attempting to start the old
Amilcar: 'You have to see what mood the car is in.' I think we all can
relate.
Check it out if you get a chance.
