CAR S.O.S Returns To National Geographic This Valentine’s Day At 8.00pm With Televisual Love Letter To The Land Rover

IN BRAND NEW TWO-PART CAR S.O.S SPECIAL: 7 DAY CHALLENGE

National Geographic’s top-rated car restoration series with a heart, Car S.O.S returns tonight with a televisual love letter to one of the country’s most cherished cars, the Land Rover.

Tune in to National Geographic on 14th February at 8pm to catch the first of two brilliant, fast-paced and funny new special shows featuring a live studio audience and celebrity guests in Car S.O.S Special: 7 Day Challenge. Then catch the second instalment of the adrenaline fuelled spin-off show on 21st February at 8pm ahead of a brand-new 10-part series of Car S.O.S commencing 28th February at 8pm.

Filmed at the British Motor Museum, home to the world’s largest collection of historic British cars, Car S.O.S Special: 7 Day Challenge sees parts-blagger extraordinaire Tim Shaw and master mechanic Fuzz Townshend attempt to restore a beloved motor in just seven days. Popping in to lend a helping hand are well-known actor and all-round hardman Ross Kemp, in the first episode, and rock superstar Rick Wakeman, in episode two.

Tim Shaw says: "This ‎episode of Car S.O.S is rather different. It's a seven-day challenge. We have just seven days to completely restore an old 1959 Series 2 Land Rover which belongs to Brian, who's had cancer. It's one hell of a challenge. If you went to any garage and asked, “Can you restore this in seven days?”, they'd burst out laughing. The ticking clock is nerve-wracking, but it's also very exciting. If we manage to pull it off, it's something we'll be very proud of. This episode fits with the Car S.O.S ethos. This show is never about money. It's about how cars bring families together. It's a genuine feel-good show".
