On that same channel was a program called "How it is made"  Did coverage of the Morgan's, Lamborgini (sp), and the new Jag F-Type.  Fascinating how these care are hand built and the materials used---the glue and certain types of rivets.  Jag has designed a special rivet that, once seated, is flush with the skin.  The Jag actually has a muffler system that you can tweek the sound to get the "growl" sound they want.

... just (half) caught a show on Velocity called 'Retro Car Kings,' mostly about Japanese old car restorers.  No 
Healeys, but a Lagonda, an Amilcar (?) and lots of 240Zs.  Suffice it to say originality is paramount, and the 
craftsmanship is superb.

One great quote (translated), from a restorer attempting to start the old Amilcar:  'You have to see what mood the car 
is in.'  I think we all can relate.

Check it out if you get a chance.
