Default Love your garden ITV

On ITV, car enthusiast has his MG ZT turned into a garden bench, they trailer the whole car away and bring back just the front.

Alan even refers to it as a vintage car.

Repeated 9:00pm on ITV+1 (CH33 Freeview).

You can also watch is free on the ITV Player , season 6 - episode 4.

Waste of a good car!!! And not to mention

I'd have gone spare if they'd have cut up mine to make a bench... those wings didn't have a bit of rust on them!

What a sad end for a MG /Rover..ending up as a garden bench!

Bet he wished Car SOS had turned up instead of Titchmarsh!

GY02NZG MOT expired on 21 May 2009, such low mileage at just 68,239 miles.

Its a MG ZT+160 Manual, Petrol, MOT history is good, seems it had suffered a breakdown.

Its just started over on ITV+1 (CH33 Freeview).

Most of these presenters do not have a clue regarding the age of cars I have even heard them refer to a Morris Minor as a "Vintage " Car
