The series 6 finale, episode 6, was first shown on U&Yesterday on 15 May 2025. Its lead car is a 1973 Ford Escort Mexico, billed as the most expensive buy the team had made up to then. A 1968 Riley Kestrel completes the line-up, and both are followed from Mathewsons through restoration and back to sale.
