Guy Martin bought an old Volvo car in Brigg and it featured in the first programme in his new TV series.
Guy's Garage sees the professional motor-cycle racer turned popular TV presenter transforming old vehicles into ones he can race.
Educated in Brigg at the Vale, Guy (above left) made a four-mile trip from his home in our area to buy the Volvo which was seen in Monday night's show on Channel 4.
It was good to see Brigg getting a mention on national TV, with footage screened of the deal being done.
Guy and a good friend, colleague and fellow mechanic then went back to their local garage and combined the car purchased in Brigg with parts from other old Volvos they had sourced.
The resulting hybrid was raced by Guy in three heats on a testing off-road track in Sweden.
Guy's entertaining new series will continue on Channel 4 next Monday at 9pm.
