Washing away decades of dirt it is finally rally ready, guaranteeing the car will fetch its best sale price.

A Peugeot 306 GTi hot hatch is fast running out of road, with a ripped sports interior, a leaky roof and dodgy electrics. The crew work flat out to give this nineties icon back its driver appeal, but the car is full of unexpected surprises and the team need to use all their skill to turn nasty niggles around and deliver a fun car for the B roads back to its enthusiastic owner.
