That silver MK1 espace they had was mine... Obviously.
The maroon one belongs to a friend called Michael.
The producer was very keen to have the espace and for it to "do well" in the series but ultimately Tinie had more of a say in the end result and that meant it didn't get chosen at the end. It won the ebay vote by a country mile though so it had the last laugh.
They were very cautious with my car and I was happy to let them loose on it on the promise it was returned as close to original as possible. They painted the top and bottom halves and wrapped the middle bit. All of the tint and wrap came off at the end of the shoot, and I sold the car to a collector in Swindon the very next morning where it will quietly gather dust and occasionally go for a run to school with the kids or to the pub once in a while amongst 160 other cars and alongside another espace of mine he owns.
Program was tolerable.
