Car Sos .Fuzz Townsend

[Kirbs]

Hi All

I had the great pleasure of talking to Fuzz for half an hour last Saturday at the opening of a classic car garage round the corner from me. I asked him about the Pagoda that was on recently, he said it was the most cost they have ever had to fix a car, it took over 7 months and 1400 hours just to get the body work in place, and whilst the show has never started a car and scrapped it and given it back to the owners,this was the closest they have ever come. There is extended footage on the internet of what took place,his new business is called TO-TA of Oldbury,you can find links from there

Thanks

Kirbs

I'd like to spend the day working with fuzz , he comes across as a proper enthusiast and very knowlegible bloke

 

[Kirbs]

Yes I know what you mean,any guy who has a bus in his collection is worth talking too

Interestingly he has never watched an episode of Wheeler Dealers or any USA car show,he is only interested in taking cars back to there day one state
He spent all day at this event talked to anybody about anything,posed for pics but came alive when you talked about one of the cars
Great guy

Have had the pleasure of speaking to Fuzz in 2015 when he came through at work on his holidays, very nice bloke and very knowledgeable.

Thanks Kirbs for posting. I wondered where he'd gone to from his place in Aldridge. My mate had Fuzz come fix his old 114 Merc a couple of years or so ago. He was the only one who could get it to run.
I'd really like to meet Fuzz myself. Seems like a really nice genuine chap with oodles of knowledge.

I am trying to watch what is supposed to be the new series, series 5, of CAR S.O.S. I have that feeling of dejavu. Is series 5 a new series or just a re-run.

New just means new to this channel, not new to air. So annoying.

I just watched the "behind the scenes" video of that... jeez!!! That car would have been dead forever if it wasnt for that show, surely no one would have paid for all that work privately?!

The "New "ones on now are "previously shown on another channel". I look forward to really new ones in spring, thanks for the heads up; I'll look out for them.
