Ant Anstead returns to screens with a brand new series

Ant Anstead: Born Mechanic

A familiar face from Wheeler Dealers is making a comeback to television with a fresh show. Ant Anstead, who previously co-hosted the motoring series, is set to star in "Ant Anstead: Born Mechanic," airing from October 24 on Quest and available for streaming on discovery+.

Renovation and Family Involvement

In this new series, viewers will witness Anstead taking on the challenge of renovating a 500-year-old farmhouse that he recently purchased for his parents' retirement. To finance this project, the car enthusiast will be restoring classic cars and selling them for profit. What sets this show apart is the inclusion of Anstead's family, marking the first time they will be featured on screen.

Family Dynamics and Personal Growth

Ant Anstead opened up about the decision to involve his family, expressing both excitement and apprehension. He shared, "In 26 shows this is the first time I’ve exposed my family and of course I’m nervous about it." Despite the potential challenges of public exposure, Anstead believes his family is well-prepared to handle any scrutiny, highlighting their strong bond and impressive contributions to charity and the community.

Moreover, the show provided Anstead with an opportunity to reconnect with his brothers, leading to significant personal growth and strengthening familial relationships. Reflecting on this experience, he mentioned, "This is the most time I’ve spent with my brothers for 20 years. It’s brought the family together in a way that’s so remarkable, so healing and it’s really, really brilliant."
