Outback Car Hunters (2021)
Synopsis
Car fanatics GT and Dave set off on a road trip in search of abandoned or forgotten classic cars (as well as other memorabilia) to buy and sell for serious profit. Their journey features the spectacular scenery of the West Australian Outback, but this is no sightseeing trip – with their own money on the line, the stakes couldn’t be higher as the boys decide which cars to buy, and how much to spend. Over the series, they uncover and restore 20 classic cars from the USA, Japan, Great Britain and Europe.
