1962 Healey Sprite racer and Sir Stirling Moss featured

Second episode of Car S.O.S. third season aired tonight, featuring E-TypeTV presenter Fuzz Townshend celebrates top ratings for the first episode of Car S.O.S.’s new series (Season 3): owned by and aired on National Geographic Channel, Thursday 9 April, and featuring Sir Stirling Moss, the programme earned first place in the top five factual programmes on satellite channels.

“We are all extremely pleased to see how popular the new series of Car S.O.S. is already proving to be,” said Fuzz. “We could not have hoped for a better start, both in the UK and in the other 100+ countries where the series is broadcast.”

The new series follows a successful format, with ten cars (one per episode) being reconditioned and given back to their unsuspecting owners, as Fuzz Townshend and his co-presenter Tim Shaw work hard to fulfill the series’ purpose of “rebuilding cars and lives.”

The second episode of Car S.O.S., “E-Type Emergency”, is broadcast tomorrow night, 16 April, on National Geographic Channel, at 8.00pm. Fuzz, with co-presenter Tim, responds to a plea for help from the family of a school caretaker who, plagued by osteoporosis, has a much loved E-Type rotting away in his garage, as he is unable to restore it. Fuzz and his team have only three weeks to return the E-Type to the way it was in 1966, when brand new.

Will the rust, which has taken hold of the car, dampen Fuzz’s enthusiasm?

Watch the programme to find out the outcome of those three weeks’ of intense work and high emotions.
