Shaun of the Shed:

Shaun and his mates must navigate the streets of London, overrun with drunk fans after a football cup final. They must do this in the Rover 214i he won* in a bet down with the Pub landlord, a week out of MOT and an advisory sheet the length of his living room, how long can they last? how long will it be before the head gasket turns on them? Will they survive the ordeal and live to tell the tale of the amazing tractability and efficiency of the K-series? Or will they be enveloped by the fog of despair (and overheating)

The Born Identity.

Volvo Is determined to find out if the Dutch proposal for a wild coupe with Pop-Up lights is serious, or if they are at the receiving end of a very expensive Dutch practical joke. Matt Damon plays a young corporate agent who can't remember if the Citroen BX originally had a Volvo badge on it, or whether the Volvo 66 was actually a Volvo at all. He travels to Born and is exposed to avant-garde Dutch design and a few Dutch bongs, he decides to get in on the joke and manipulate the Volvo higher ups to put the 480 into production in its current form, ahead of the more conventional  saloon and hatch offerings in the line ups. And then in a killer move, gets them to sell it in Britain, knowing the build quality will not stand up to the UK's climate.

The Avengers Are Unassembled.

A group of 5 workers at the Ryton Plant decide enough is enough and decide to carry on production when the rest of the factory is on strike. Knowing that without them, Britain will have to buy a Sideways-happy Marina or a Rust-Promoted Ford, the safety of potentially tens of families depend on them to assemble as many Avengers as possible in one Week. Facing the dangers of going it alone, they must band together for a common goal, to ensure at least the next 3 years of 1970s British family motoring is secure

The Dear Hunter

Three friends buy a Rootes classic from the 60s/70s before embarking on their military service. They completely disregard a classic car mag buyers guide, "We show you how to buy the best while prices are still low". Instead of "taking an Arrow to the heart", they end up with a money pit that "misses the target". 

A Fiat full of dollars

A moribund Italian car maker buys an even more moribund American car maker.

Start Wreck: The Search For Spark

A group of travelers occasionally throw themselves left and right against the door cards as they drive their schizophrenic friend about in an old prototype Volga (the 1701)  that's just failed it's MoT. Periodically it stalls out and the Scottish one who knows a bit about cars is forced to reset the points, change the condenser and hotwire the ignition switch to keep going.
