Smith And Sniff

Buying This Classic Racing Car is a Childhood Nostalgia Dream, but it's terrible timing... In this project car episode Jonny Smith admits that he found one of his bucket list cars at the worst time possible, but couldn't pass up the opportunity. Is buying a historic racing car a bad idea in a recession? Jonny imported the touring car (ex rally) from Scandinavia for a fraction of the price of a MK1 Escort.
