Series 6 of Bangers & Cash: Restoring Classics opened on U&Yesterday on 10 April 2025. The headline project is Project X, an Austin commercial vehicle converted to electric power. Alongside it sits something on two wheels and without an engine at all: a 1950s American beach cruiser bicycle. As ever, the programme follows its finds from the Mathewsons auctions through restoration and back to sale.
