Ant Anstead Master Mechanic
Overview
Follow Ant Anstead as he uses donor cars, spare parts, and handmade components to hand-build a one-of-a-kind automotive build, an Alfa Romeo 158.

Ant’s crowning achievement is to run his Alfa Romeo 158 at the Brick Yard in Indianapolis, the site of the US Grand Prix and the one race the 158 never entered and thus never had the chance to conquer.
