An insider told me: 'Every type of motor, past, present, and future will make its appearance in this exciting new format, with Guz guiding audiences through a rabbit hole of truly fascinating cars.
'Guz has been attempting to modify his own car so to help inspire him, he will embark on a journey to discover cars as unconventional as their owners.
Casting teams for the series worked around the clock to source contributors for the series, who were willing to have their wheels displayed in front of the nation.

'Expect to see the unexpected when it comes to these modified motors — this isn't your regular car series.
'He will test drive their creations and learn more about what modifications can do for cars, as he makes his own journey from 'car purist' to 'car modder'.
'And of course it won't be without elements of comedy, it's only natural with Guz in the hosting seat.'
It's a new string to Guz's bow after his hit BBC sitcom Man Like Mobeen came to an end earlier this year after five series.

In new Prime Video flick Deep Cover, Sean plays a bent cop who will be shot in the head before his body is cut up into pieces – just months after he was killed off in BBC drama This City Is Ours.
Luckily for Sean, who has died in every blockbuster franchise he's previously appeared in, including Game Of Thrones, James Bond and Lord Of The Rings, he's not worried.
He recently told the Radio Times: 'It came to a point with all the memes, and I thought, 'Maybe I should stop dying as much.'

'But when I look down I still see a really juicy belly, and I don't feel that I've lost the weight.
'I do have loose skin, so maybe I'll have something done surgically just to make it a bit more presentable.

Lorraine Stanley looks slimmer than ever as she shows off incredible 5st weight loss in bikini on holiday
LORRAINE Stanley showed off her 5st weight loss in a black bikini while on holiday with her family in Spain. The EastEnders star, best known for playing Karen Taylor in the BBC soap, was seen running along a sandy beach with her daughter Nancy and her fiance Mark Perez. 6 Lorraine Stanley showed off her 5st weight loss in a black bikini Credit: Instagram 6 The former EastEnders star is holidaying with her family in Spain Credit: Instagram 6 The actress played Karen Taylor on the BBC soap before her character was axed Credit: BBC Lorraine put her slim figure on display in a matching bikini top and bottoms. She looked in good spirits as she enjoyed some quality time with her daughter and partner. Lorraine has been visiting Sitges, a vibrant coastal town in Catalonia, Spain. Just last week Lorraine stunned in a white minidress during her hen do - as she gears up to marry Mark. The couple are tying the knot in a much-anticipated ceremony surrounded by close friends and family. She got engaged to Mark, a property developer, after she popped the question to him on his birthday in 2023. Lorraine and Mark first met through mutual friends and said their connection was instant. WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY In a desperate bid to change her appearance and feel healthier, the star embarked on an epic weight loss journey courtesy of fat jabs and surgery. Lorraine has admitted that using weight-loss injections wasn't for her after becoming "immune" to them. In a new interview, she confessed to using Wegovy, a weight-loss jab similar to Ozempic and Mounjaro, but she failed to find her desired figure on the medication. EastEnders' Lorraine Stanley looks slimmer than ever after dramatic five stone weight loss Lorraine told the Mirror: "I'd tried Wegovy. I have friends on different weight-loss jabs and they work for them. "I'm not against them, but for whatever reason I feel like I got immune to them. "It got to the point where I was injecting myself and eating at the same time. "I was thinking, 'What the hell are you doing?' So I decided that was it, time to get this surgery booked." Lorraine revealed that she opted to shell out "thousands" to undergo weight-loss surgery at a top Harley Street clinic in London. The actress confessed: "I'm not going to lie, nor am I promoting it, but I had weight-loss surgery two years ago. "I had a gastric sleeve. I went to Harley Street. I didn't go to a clinic in Turkey or anything. "In saying that, I've had friends who've gone to Turkey and had great experiences, but I didn't trust that process. "So, yeah, I went to a London clinic, paid an awful lot of money and had it done. It's hands-down the best thing I've ever done – both for me and for my family." She continued to the publication: "I was at home watching an episode of EastEnders I was in and I could barely look at myself. "The person on screen was unrecognisable to me. "I know TV puts a stone on you, but… so yes, there was an element of vanity, but it was also me wanting to change things for my daughter and our future." Lorraine has now been shy of showing off her svelte figure following her six and a half stone weight loss. She said: "I weigh 8st now. If you look at my little wrists and ankles, this is the weight I should have been. "I should be a thin person. And I always was, until I hit my late twenties." 6 The soap star is set to marry her long-term partner later this year Credit: Instagram 6 Lorraine admitted that using weight-loss injections wasn't for her Credit: Splash

MasterChef in another bizarre editing blunder as BBC uses same ‘nightmarish' shot of Gregg Wallace three times
MASTERCHEF viewers were quick to call out an editing blunder as the BBC used the same "nightmarish" shot of Gregg Wallace THREE times. The latest series of MasterChef was hit with controversy in the weeks leading up to its launch, with hosts Gregg Wallace and John Torode being axed from presenting future series. 2 MasterChef fans spotted another bizarre editing blunder this week Credit: BBC 2 The BBC uses the same 'nightmarish' shot of Gregg Wallace THREE times Credit: BBC However, the BBC ultimately decided to air series 21, which had already been filmed. Earlier this week, a new group of amateur chefs battled it out in the second week of heats to secure a place in the quarter-final. Full-time mum Hazel talked Gregg and John through her dish and said she was making Moroccan spice rack of lamb with a parsnip puree and a fig and red wine sauce. While discussing what spices she would be using, Gregg flashed Hazel a big grin. The exact same clip of Gregg's over-the-top smiley expression was then shown a further two more times during the same segment. Eagle-eyed viewers were quick to pick up on the blunder. One fan shared the clip on their X account and said: "I still don't understand why they had to keep the presenters in but that's what they've done. They have reused the same bit of Gregg three times, watch." The person then pointed out the three times they reused the same clip of Gregg giving the contestant a huge grin. Many fans were quick to take to the comment section with their own theories on the mistake. One wrote: "He's just on pause incase they can get his career back on track while the series airs." Bizarre moment MasterChef contestant nods at empty room in awkward BBC edit - after chef demanded to be removed from show A second said: "It does honestly seems like the producer and editor were opting to use the exact same shot when they were doing the edit, or Greg kept THAT facial expression for THAT long." A third posted: "By the final episode, Torode and Wallace gonna be the only two people not edited out." This viewer quipped: "Weren't they supposed to *remove* the creepy bits...?," while another said: "I am fully convinced the editors hate him, they always cut to his bizarre faces." Earlier this week, fans spotted another bizarre moment when a MasterChef contestant nodded to an empty space after a chef demanded to be removed from the show. It was previously revealed that following John and Gregg's shock exits from the show, one contestant had asked to be edited out of the series. A report had revealed more than 40 historic complaints against Gregg had been upheld, along with a claim that John once used a racist term. Sarah Shafi, from Leeds, argued that airing the series sent the wrong message after the BBC sacked the presenters. Ms Shafi, 57, claimed MasterChef producer Banijay had offered to edit her out of the episode she featured in. But the participant dismissed the proposal and called for the whole series to be scrapped. Once the corporation confirmed the season was going ahead, Ms Sharif agreed to be edited out. A spokesperson for Banijay previously said: "As we said when we announced the show would be aired, this was not an easy decision in the circumstances and we appreciate not everyone would agree with it. "Banijay consulted with all the contestants before that decision was made and there was widespread support for it going ahead. "The focus of the series is the contestants, as it always is. "The edit has been looked at in light of the upheld findings."
