The programme is a short episode that follows Dave on a very specific mission. He sets off for Bolton with the sole purpose of collecting a classic Italian sports car, turning a routine trip into the centrepiece of the show. During the journey Dave’s destination is Bolton, where the vehicle awaits him. The car in question is a Lancia Fulvia 1.3 Sport – an iconic model from Italy’s automotive heritage. Its bodywork was crafted by the renowned Milan‑based coachbuilder Zagato, giving the Fulvia a distinctive, sleek appearance that sets it apart from other sports cars of its era. The episode highlights the contrast between the northern English town of Bolton and the southern Italian pedigree of the Lancia. While the setting is firmly rooted in the UK, the car itself embodies the craftsmanship of Milan’s Zagato workshop, merging two very different automotive cultures in a single pickup. In the end, the focus remains on Dave’s acquisition of the Lancia Fulvia 1.3 Sport, styled by Zagato, and the simple yet clear premise of travelling to Bolton to retrieve this classic Italian machine.
