The series will see two teams of amateur car fanatics, led by Donald and Franchitti competing for the chance to drive away their dream car. The only catch? They’ll have to rebuild it first.

Petrol-head Donald famously gave up his job as a panel beater to find fame and fortune with boyband Take That in 1989. He is also know for his extensive collection of classic cars.
