For those that like their classic Escorts and the engineering around the restoration thereof I've stumbled across a series of productions each one about or just over 30 mins long, The restoration is ongoing and is up to Episode 9.
Better than Bake Off.
Basically Gordon Murray (Designer of F1 cars and the McLaren F1) has commisioned a company called Retropower from Hinkley to build what appears to be a standard Mk 1 Twin Cam on the outside but underneath is a much modified animal.
The company are in awe of Murray and his visits to monitor progress are quite amusing.
A lot of the filming is of a guy 'Cal" describing what and how the work is done but comes across well.
Have a look here:

Also some tasty classics in the workshop that you get a snapshot of.
At the end of Episode 8 Gordon leaves the premises after a visit with his PA and head for their car in the car park.
Oh yes!! - A Kia Soul. The man has taste.
