Phil and Ant on tour...

30/7/2017

Philip was reunited with his 'For the Love of Cars' co-host this week as they attend both the Jimmy's Farm Festival and the Silverstone Classic Car event.

At Jimmy's Farm, they enjoyed food, music and experienced the joy of a helter-skelter while at the Silverstone Classic Phil had to watch on in horror as Ant flipped his car during the celebrity challenge race. Luckily, Ant sustained only minor injuries, but it was all very dramatic.

Is there more For the Love of Cars on the way?

3/6/2017

It seems there could be... but Phil's co-star Ant Anstead is remaining tight lipped.

Maybe we should explain...

Our Phil-senses began tingling this morning when we noticed that the official Twitter account for 'For the Love of Cars' retweeted a tweet they'd posted themselves back in November 2016 - shortly after the Lotus special aired.

Naturally, we retweeted and then we fired off a cheeky text to Ant asking if we should read anything into the fact that a tweet posted 7 months ago had been retweeted by themselves that morning.

We had to wait a while for his reply - he's moved to LA now to work on another project - but a he did eventually get back to us. Not that his response really told us anything...

So, no concrete proof as yet but we're still hopeful and will, as always, bring you any more news about the future of the show as soon as we have it! And if you want to see more of Phil and Ant then go and retweet and let them know!

Phil and Ant film For the Love of Cars in the rain

18/6/2016

Phil and Ant were out filming for the special of For the Love of Cars in Kent yesterday. Not much is known about the segment they were filming except that they were driving a small convertible with no roof... in the rain.

Luckily, 6 year old Grace was on hand to provide the boys with some help - she loaned them her umbrella.

Ant tweeted the following photos, thanking Grace for the loan.

The boys will be back filming again at the Silverstone classic at the end of July - where Ant will race their restored car!

For the Love of Cars filming again.

27/3/2016

It looks like Philip Glenister and Ant Anstead will be returning for more For The Love of Cars.

Ant seemingly confirmed the news on his twitter account this week, posting a photo of himself and Phil, saying:

Here we go again. This fella CRACKS ME UP!

For the Love of Cars sees Ant and Phil aim to restore old cars to their former glory. Ant does all the grafting whil Phil researches the stories of the cars and the people who are fanatical about them.

The two have already been spotted filming near Welwyn Garden City. They were spied outside the Rose and Crown on Upper Green in the village of Tewin (where Ant has his workshop) on Wednesday afternoon (March 24th).

There is no further information on which cars will feature, but we are still hoping for a Gene Hunt style Audi Quattro!
