Yesterday finds a new commission with 'Classic Car Hunters'

UKTV has commissioned Classic Car Hunters (w/t) (8x60') for leading factual channel Yesterday and free streaming service UKTV Play. The series, produced by Wiser Films, follows the work of mechanic Sheldon Nichols, supported by bodywork expert Peter Harriott as they work to a client's brief and budget to find a suitable car and carry out any mechanical fixes required. The pair will add any desired modernisations and bring the bodywork up to scratch. They will then deliver the client their dream classic, and hopefully have enough budget left over to make a small profit on the job.

Classic Car Hunters (w/t) has been commissioned for UKTV by commissioning executive Emile Nawagamuwa with head of factual and factual entertainment Helen Nightingale, and ordered by Yesterday channel director, Gerald Casey and director of commissioning, Hilary Rosen. Produced by Wiser Films, the production company that makes The Car Years, executive producer is Tas Brooker, and the series producer is Richard Heeley.
