Hardly a great project and this appears to happen to 99% of the cars they do!!
WD is sold around the world and has made a fortune! Never forget it's an entertainment show. If it was a real commercial venture they would have been bust after 2 cars.

Mind you they made a good return on a Rover P5 a while back. A shame Ed has now left the show......
